Anyone seeing Red?????

So tomorrow is the big day.  The day that all Utah and BYU fans wait for.  Yes,  it's the big game.  You know which one I'm talking about.  The University of Utah gets to make that hour long trip to Provo to play against the Cougars.  Will you be wearing Red or Blue??

Guess what color I will be sporting?

Too much time on my hands- I think

What do you do when you think you have too much time to spare?  Why you paint the mailbox of course.

Race Day

The advantage of living on one of the best streets in town is that you get to witness the bike races.  Yep, that right, today was the bike race.  So we set up camp on the front porch and watched these guy go by.  These guys come from all over to participate.

It is so much fun being on the watching end of things....

A day at work

Recently I went with Carl to work.  Now as exciting as that may sound... it's really not.  He does a whole lot of sitting.  He gets to watch a crew of guys dig trenches and lay fiber optic cable.  He has to make sure that they are digging the hole deep enough, not hitting any utility lines and getting just the right amount of cable in the hole.

So, in other words, it can be right down BORING.  But every once in while I get the chance to go with him.  I usually take along my knitting, crocheting or whatever project I am currently working on and I definitely take along a book.

This particular day, I also took along my camera.  After sitting for several hours it was time to go for a walk with camera in hand.

Here is what I saw on my walk:

Check out those cute baby buffaloes

 

 

This old house immediately caught my attention

 

Love the rail fence

 

 

Yes it was an exciting day on the job.  But I love the area he has been working.  Very rural, along the Provo River and green for as far as you could see.



A fine feathered friend

I have seen this guy several times on my way to work.  Finally I was able to stop and get a picture of him.  This was as close as I dared to get since I didn't want to scare him off.  I zoomed in as far I could-not bad.  He was sitting there like he was just watching the cars go by.

Random Sunday

This is a scene that I often saw on my way to work this winter.  I finally decided to make sure I had my camera with me so that I could capture it again.  Lucky for me, I did see it.  Every day for about two weeks, the fog was heavy and lying low.  I loved how it was sitting on the ground but could still see the mountains peeking out from above.

Just wanted to share:

 

 

Seeing the Windmills

When we want to hit the mall we must go into the city about an hour away.  It can get tedious if it's done too often.  However, it's always nice to see the windmills, because that means we are almost there.  There is just something about coming around that last turn in the road at the mouth of the canyon and seeing them turning. 

I don't think I will ever get tired of seeing them.  There is something exciting about it.

Random picture

Have you ever just set your camera down and taken a picture of whatever is in it's way?  I did. 

Earlier this month I was in Wyoming with Carl and took a little walk with camera in hand.  I ended up near some railroad tracks and had that very thought.

I set the camera down on the ground near my feet and took the picture.  Here is what I got:

Just thought I would share.  I see more of these types of pictures in my future.
