I'm still posting photos from Thanksgiving weekend. On Saturday I went on a hike through Snow Canyon with LaNeece's sister Loni. Although we took a lot longer than expected we had a blast! (I turned a 1 mile hike into 6+ miles) Snow Canyon was amazing, I can't wait to hike this area again in the spring.

Over Thanksgiving Layla ate her first Oreo cookie, as you can see it was a hit!


Here is Layla with her uncle Lorenzo.

On Wednesday before Thanksgiving I was working in Cedar City, my meetings ended earlier than expected so I drove up to Cedar Breaks, here are some of the photos I took that afternoon.

We had a friends birthday party for Dallen the Saturday before Thanksgiving. He wanted a "Magic" Theme so we went out and bought some cheap magic tricks to give away then without him knowing about it we hired a local magician to perform, it was a HIT!

I discovered this effect while listening to a podcast the other day and wanted to share it.

The shots of these deer are terrible, out of focus and grainy but I've had so much fun watching them and taking these shots I wanted to share them regardless of the quality.

This shot was taken from my back deck

We just celebrated Maya's 4th birthday, interesting that a $4 puzzle was her favorite present!

We spotted these deer while on our way home from church yesterday, they were grazing next the runway of our small local airport.

I can't be sure, but I think that the two bucks in this group are the same ones that were in our backyard earlier this year. (Posted Aug 7th)

This was one of my first attempts at HDR photography, merging 3 photos to come up with this image. (One underexposed by 2 stops, one at normal exposure and one overexposed by 2 stops)
