Don’t tell Dorothy, but I found out what’s over the rainbow: Mount Timpanogas. I took this picture while at my kids baseball game.
Need it bigger? Drop me a note.
Aren’t those the moodiest clouds you’ve ever seen? We live on the smaller mountain just in front of Timp. The “Green field” in front is just a hill in front of the junior-high track.
It’s not the first snow of the year today; we had six inches in October but were too sick to play in it. But today we were well, so play we did! And I just had to take a picture of this snowflake from Mary’s hat.
Such a pretty little snowflake. I wish I could see them all.
I feel compelled to write today, but everything I’ve tried to say seems to feel like it’s another person’s words, or someone else’s thoughts. Perhaps I simply don’t know what to think or how to feel, or maybe it’s more a problem of knowing that whatever I say could not be enough. Or maybe it’s that my feelings on the war are wrong, because without a doubt, no matter what I could say about it, at least half of you would vehemently disagree.

Hundreds of scouts and others lined the streets holding flags and saluting as the procession drove by.

Wow, my photo’s on Reuters! No, dear cyberstalkers, it’s not a photo OF me, but it is a photo I’ve taken, and I am thrilled. It was used as a stock photo in someone’s blog, and Reuters Health picked it up and it’s linked back to me. The article’s interesting too, so have a look! Makes me want to open all my windows now (were it not for the 40F temp I’m registering).
update: they’ve moved or removed the article :-S So here’s the photo I’m talking about:
The old hospital in Lehi. It's been torn down now.
The article was basically saying people in hospitals get sicker for lack of fresh air.
I post maybe one percent of the photos I take, but you can find a few here, as well as a few at sxc.hu. Maybe if you ask nicely, I’ll autograph a print for you ;-p (more…)
