Happy Thanksgiving!

Took an early morning drive around Utah Lake.
This is from the west side of the lake overlooking the Wasatch Mountains.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!
The kids were so excited this year. They designed the pumpkin faces and I got to do all the carving and scooping. Not fair!

Halloween or Christmas??

Another picture from our snowy day last week.
Poor pumpkins. I hope they make it to Halloween.

First Snow of 2008

Taken Sunday October 12, 2008.
I can't believe we woke up to snow this early in the year!
It melted and warmed up for the rest of the week though. Now we are just wondering when the next one will come.

Another from Abravanel Hall

Another photo of Abravanel Hall (home of the Utah Symphony). I love the colors in all these big signs lined up out front. They really caught my eye on this grey day.

Abaravanel Hall

Home of the Utah Symphony. Got the Chihuly in the background too, LOL!

Another from the Stormy Day

An overview of the Salt Lake Valley from our "Stormy Day" photo shoot a few weeks ago.

Allen & the Stormy Day

We had a dark and stormy day a few weeks ago. Looked like a fun setting for some pictures so I grabbed my son and took off for one of my favorite picture spots (west side of the Salt Lake Valley with a great view of the Wasatch Mountains). Got a few cool ones before the rain started.

Main Street

Salt Lake City Main Street, just before lunchtime.
I was hoping to take a walk each day at lunchtime and take photos of the city. Unfortunately, the summer has gotten away from me and I only got a few photos. Well, I won't let the cold weather approaching to deter me. A photo a day is my goal!

Lunch in Hunstville

We went up in to mountains yesterday to have a family lunch and escape the heat.
We saw these cute little guys while we were driving around Huntsville yesterday.

Evening at the Jordan River

The Jordan River...photo taken from the river trail.
Just a quick picture while I was at the park with my daughter.

The morning after the storm.
I was walking into work about 7am. I was in an alleyway between two large buildings and I notice how pretty all the clouds looked after lastnight's storm.

This was taken with the camera on my cell phone, LOL!!

Grandma's Garden

Flowers in my Grandma's Garden

Ok, it's not in Salt Lake...but from a small town below Bryce Canyon in southern Utah.

I took quite a few pictures of the flowers but this one is my favorite. I like the weird colors and the blowouts in the background.

Fireworks in Park City, UT

I had a great time learning how to photograph fireworks on the 4th of July. I learned alot for next time and I can't wait to try again.
This is one of my favorites of the bunch (even though it really isn't in focus). I just like it!

Doing that clapping thing kids do..

She kept saying watch me mom, watch me!

Lazy Days of Summer

The cat is enjoying the cool summer evening.
Well, as long as the kids aren't chasing her.

Herriman Days Parade

Anneli was marching in the Herriman Days Parade, June 28, 2008.
I found it a great opportunity for some photography practice.
This is one of my favorites.

OMG! I spent about five minutes outside last evening trying to get inspired.
I couldn't feel my hands by the time I got back into the car.

Wasatch Mountains over the West Jordan City Building.

A Cold Clear Sky

Can you believe it was snowing yesterday?

These are automatic house lights.
So why is my house light the only one that is always on?
