Bryce Canyon




"Leave it as it is. You cannot improve it. The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it. What you can do is keep it for your children, your children's children and for all who come after you."
-Teddy Roosevelt

Where the wild things are




We saw deer and elk today- so cool. There was a 'family' with a mama, daddy and baby but the dad got skittish when we stopped [that's him in the trees]- mama and babe just kept eating.
The deer and lone elk that are closer up weren't quite as close as it might appear- I had my zoom lens on- but if we got much closer they may have taken off, they were definitely keeping one eye on me.
It's funny, though, some of the deer photos look just like Gordon [our greyhound]! Same profile, same color, almost the same size...






just some more random shots







We are such desert rats!!!

We went for a hike and found this awesome waterfall. Of course, being from the desert, we were drawn to it- so we not only hiked to it, but we sat behind it for a bit to cool off...very refreshing!

shy guy

One of the neat things about volunteering here is you get to meet all kinds of fascinating people. I met a lady that is very involved in Mustang Rescue in Salt Lake City. She has created videos, has legislation before Congress, and is very involved in their welfare. We exchanged information and talked for some time.

Good Times
