We have a new squirrel living in the rock wall below our deck, my kids think it's fun to feed him. I'm waiting for him to get comfortable them I'll use a have-a-heart to "relocate" him....
Another sunset.... I know, I know.... I'm told that I just keep taking photos of the same things but this really was a nice sunset so skim over it if you don't like it!

The other day I decided to go on a short hike up by Snowbasin, ended up taking little miss #2. We found this great hike that took us up to a small pond below the ski resort, although we missed the turn off to the pond and ended up going about 1 mile too far it was a lot of fun. The pond ended up being only about 3/4 miles from the road!
My Hiking Buddy.... she decided to wear her pajamas, guess it didn't matter much since she didn't walk but sat on my shoulders for most of the time! This photo turned out really bad but I wanted to share it, just to prove that I was actually there!

Finally a family portrait with EVERYONE!

Above Pine Valley in southern Utah

Let me know what you think of this shot... HDR, combination of 3 images taken at different exposures. I used a trial version of Photomatix to process so I ended up with a watermark, thinking about buying the program to do more of this kind of processing...

Enterprise, UT during a summer storm. This is also an HDR like the photo above but I used CS3 to process... which do you like better?

While in New Mexico I was able to swing by the ranch of some old friends, here is one of his bulls throwing dirt to keep the flies away. The next few shots are from their property, 24,000 acres near Lordsberg, NM. Big country, not much grass but beautiful.



Electrical Storm near Enterprise, UT. I have several more shots but havn't had time to process them yet, will post when I can.




A few shots of the Vegas Strip taken while in Vegas for business planning meetings

Skateboard day 3.... showing us the "tricks" he has taught himself

Growing up but still only 18 lbs, too small for a front facing seat!!

Bright eyes and a beautiful smile

Fantastic morning after a night of rain... the fog lifted by 9am

Having fun watching the approaching storms. This was actually a fun one to process, using a combination of color and b&w to accentuate the focus on the little bug...

I liked the red of the sunset on the left side in contrast to the bright white lightning

The crane chicks are growing up quickly! They were hiding in the weeds, peeking their heads up to look around.
