Snow on Mt. Timp

It rained last night.  I hoped Timp would have snow, but I couldn't see the mountain today because of the fog.  Until now.

Can I love a mountain?

 

Triangle on Mt. Timpanogos

One of my favorite things about living in Provo is being able to see the triangle on Mt. Timpanogos.  This geologic feature catches the first rays of the sun.  This triangle is actually the top of a huge open space on the other side of the mountain.

Peaches

A fried delivered ripe peaches last night.  I am taking a painting class, and I wanted a photograph in the morning sun, so I wouldn't let Ben eat one for his dinner.  This morning, this is the picture I captured.

Peek-a-Boo!

One of the coral caught something and curled into a ball.  The clown fish go crazy when this happens.

Dragonfly

I've seen these dragonflies several times as I've fed the koi.  Today, my camera caught one!

 

Day of Nature

Dave's family is visiting.  Our plans today included Cascade Springs.  We'd seen a Rufous at the feeders, but my camera hadn't been able to capture him.  While kids were lining up in the mudroom for a check before getting in the car, Dave took my camera out to try his luck.

I didn't ask any questions when he gave me my camera, so I was pleasantly surprised to see these pictures on the memory stick after our outing.

Eagle-eyed David didn't wait for the Rufous to come to the feeder.  He spied him in the branches and clicked away.

This sunflower was waiting for us as we pulled into a lookout.

Cascade Springs has beautiful wildflowers.

The morning was cool and the sun was behind clouds.

This is not optimum for photography, but it's great for hiking.

My granddaughter made sure I didn't miss any flowers.

We are in a drought, so the flowers were not as abundant as they have been in years past.

The thistle was exquisite.

Even the bees agreed.

One Hummingbird and One Geranium

Word on the street is that a Rufous is drinking at the feeders.  I didn't see him tonight, but my camera did capture this.
