Going through some images from my youth

This image stayed in my mind for a number of years. I had taken it while at summer camp in the Granddaddy Basin near Pine Island lake with the scouts when I was 13 or 14. Later when I was 30 something and there with as scoutmaster I found myself at the same spot and photographed it again. I do not have that image where I can find it right now but will post it later when I do. Anyway the two images were almost the same of the fallen tree minus all the little branches but the trees in the background were totally different.

An oil well fire near Altamont, Utah when I was 17 or so.

One of the volcanic rock formation seen in Southern Utah and Northern Arizona.
I do not remember when I took this image. 

Images from the farm on which I was raised.

Taken when I was around 12 or 13years old.

You can tell by the duct at the top of the image that this was a slide scanned to digital format.

Taken near Manti, Utah

 Historical derrick for stacking hay.

Starvation Reservoir was being built when I took this picture of the longest bridge in Utah.

I was about 16 at the time.

A few years later after the water was in the reservoir. 

I was about 23 at the time.

Things are beautiful

Images from the South Rim Visitor's center of the Grand Canyon. It seems so interesting to me that you travel along a flat high mountain desert and then walk to the edge of a huge canyon that looks so beautiful and, as it's name says, 

"Grand".

A little taste of the flatness of the desert and the size of the canyon.

The observation tower near the edge of the canyon.

I could see a couple of rafts on the water while we were there. They were moving pretty slow, something that would change not much further down the canyon.

Winter Friends

We threw some older crackers out for the birds the other morning and I was glad to see that they came and were feeding on them. I then decided to get the camera out and shoot through the window so as to not scare them away by opening the door. They are so fun to watch and unlike some birds that I have photographed before they didn't seem to be fighting quite as bad today and thus they were all able to get some food.

 Even the magpie.
