Blue Skies Above
No matter how many layers of clouds are on top of you, no matter how dark and cold it seems, there are always blue skies above and eventually the clouds will part and the sun will shine through.

Fall Glory
An Autumn Purple Ash tree, the only deciduous tree that turns purple in the fall. I have one in my backyard now...one day it might look like this.

Not far from my home there is an old concrete silo. I had fun giving this one a mood.

Cloud Collage
This constantly moving natural collage of clouds was visible for a few minutes just before sundown. I love capturing the fleeting natural beauty of the sky.

Where the Pumpkins Live
The day before, these were mostly hidden under large green leaves. Then the frost came, killed the plants and exposed the pumpkins.

One Serious Storm
One day in March I looked out the window and saw this. I love weather...and that's one reason I love where I live: we have all kinds of weather.

I Saw Another Angel Fly
"And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people." - Revelations 14:6

I'm listening to living prophets and apostles this weekend and feel so grateful for the "everlasting gospel". This is the statue of Moroni, which stands atop the LDS Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Three in One
In just one day, mother nature decided to stop summer, phase out fall, and give us a bit of winter.

Day's Decline
I recently drove the Squaw Peak road with my family. It starts in a canyon near my home and winds for 20 miles between mountain peaks to end up in another canyon farther away. It was a gorgeous drive, and we caught the sunset from high in the mountains.

First Autumn Snow
Yesterday it snowed for the first time on the mountains. I love this time of year...brilliant colors, mountain snow, crisp air. I love fall!

Valley View
Not the usual vantage point. It doesn't take long for one to feel detached from all the busyness of the world below when you're up in the mountains.

Wet Window
I don't get enough rain where I live...so when it rains hard and lasts for awhile, it's kind of exciting. I like the way the light plays on the water droplets.

Garden Stroll
Isaac loves the garden...probably because his parents spend time in and around it. He likes to walk around and pick (usually) unripe veggies. Yesterday, he took a bucket out to the garden, started picking cherry tomatoes and putting them in the bucket. :)

Night Lighted
On a recent rainy night, I captured these light trails from a passing car. The night was bright from the cars, the streetlights...even the ground and the clouds were reflecting light.

Snow Fence
A snow fence along a high mountain ridge. Snow fences are built to prevent deep snow from drifting over the road.

Mountain Framed
Framing a photo with foreground objects is a technique I don't often use. Do you think it's effective here? This was taken from the parking lot where I work.

Do you remember the feeling of jumping on a trampoline? It really is pretty fun...try it again!

Painting the Clouds
The best type of art...the natural type. The moving, changing, dynamic natural art that is all around us. This early morning art show only lasted a few minutes, but it was a good one.

Baby Bird
This poor baby bird was stranded in a tree...it couldn't yet fly, and was perched on a small branch just a few feet above my head.

Showers at Sunset
Not long before dark, I looked and saw this. The interplay of light and rain and clouds can make for a truly beautiful combination.

Mowed
Lawn: It's an interesting idea...plant a ground cover, then mow it and water it, over and over. Then walk and play on it. It does look good and is far nicer than dirt, rocks and weeds.
