Pics from the Mountains

I went up and took some pictures this afternoon. Except for cropping and making them black and white. I didn't edit these at out. I wasn't expecting the water to turn out so nicely.

Snow, Snow, Snow!

We woke up to the most snow I've seen us get at one time. I think it was like 12 inches!

My car had a spoiler this morning. It was made of snow!

 It's nice that someone else shovels snow.

The Jenson Boys and I made a pretty killer snow fort! It was so much fun!

Here they are in the fort!

After that we came back to our house for dinner and saw the worlds largest snowman. Well at least Provo's largest one!

Cross Country Skiing

I went cross country skiing today with the youth. It started out as a young men's activity, but many of them had conflicts. I invited a soon to be married couple from the ward as well as a Beehive whose brother was going and who also happens to be the Bishop's daughter. We had a blast! I got to use my camera and take some pictures. I found that landscape pics aren't half as fun as people ones. Here are a few of my favorite non-people photos.

And now, here are some of my favorite people pictures.

Daylight at Night

I took these pictures at around 10pm without a flash.

SnowBall Flakes

We've been having some weird weather lately . . . . weird for Utah that is. It rained all day yesterday. A lot of the snow melted. This morning the rain turned to snow. The ground looked like someone spilled a giant half-melted transparent slurpee all over the place. On the way home from our early Sunday Meetings, the snowflakes got so huge. It looked like light fluffy cottonballs the size of baseballs coming down. I wanted to catch one and take a picture of it, but the snowballs were to my hands as cotton candy is to my mouth . . . they melted instantly! I then attempted to take some pictures of the falling snow, but could barely capture the enormity of these falling slushballs. The following picture was the best one. For the purposed of quick and easy identification, the SnowBall Flakes have been circled.

Winter Wonderland

It's snowing like crazy here . . . . I love it! You know how old folks retire to warm places, I think I want to retire to Alaska!
