The Sun Came Out!

Finally! The smog lifted and the sun came out! I LOVE IT!!!

Summer Fever

Summer fever, winter blues...call what you want...I am ready for warmer weather and some green color! With all the smog, cold and lack of color I am ready for the summer. I looked for a happy, green summer wallpaper for my computer and couldn't find any! So, I thought I'd post this picture to remind us that summer is on its way!

The Last Leaves

I was up at Memory Grove the other day. The snow was here to stay. Almost all the leaves had vanished from the trees, leaving bare limbs. However, I saw these two leaves, hanging on, fighting the harsh cold winter, to stay just a bit longer. They seemed so lonely, and so strong. It may sound sentimental...and it is...but I just had to take a picture of them. If for no other reason than they held on when all the rest had fallen! :)

Temples with the Point and Shoot

Here are a few older pictures I found today, from my point and shoot camera, as I was looking through my pictures. Gotta love the point and shoot!

Dusk on the Square

The other day I had a few minutes to spare on the Square. I happened to have my camera with me and took this shot at dusk. The Christmas lights had not yet come on and so I got this one of the temple.

Random

Here are a few random shots I thought I would post. This first one I took on my way home from work. On my home I saw this amazing sunset. How could I not pull off to the side of the road and take a quick shot so I could remember the moment. Yes, I know the fence is in the picture, but I kind of like it. Plus, when you are on the side of a busy highway you have to take what you can get!

This one was kind of the same thing. I was on a photo shoot with the cutest family, literally, in the middle of nowhere. We were on our way to another location. I happened to turn around and saw this amazing sunset. I just had to take a quick shot before I got in the car.

With this shot I was actually waiting for a family to show up for a photo shoot. I always get there early to set up. This shoot was in one of their friends yard. Oh my goodness! This yard was amazing!! If I am ever wealthy and have lots of time on my hands this is what my yard will look like one day. It was a photographers paradise! Here is just one of MANY shots I took.

This last one is from a trip to the Church History Museum with the young women. We ended the tour at this stained glass window.

Better Late Than Never....Right?

These pictures are from the end of the summer...better late than never...right? I just love the end of the summer when the heat finally gives way to the crispness of fall. It also means it is time for the harvest. I love it! I love the smell of freshly cut hay...and seeing it neatly gathered in rows. I love when it is baled, awaiting transport to one of many possible destinations. In short I love fall. So, here are a few pictures of some things that I hope have captured what I love about the end of the summer. :)
