Sandal in the Salt

As I was out taking pictures at the Great Salt Lake near SaltAir I came across this sandal. I like how it is beginning to disintegrate and even though this is a color photograph, it looks totally black and white.

Running Away

Camping and fishing near Tooele gives many opportunities for fun in the wilds--but not too wild for children. This little boy loves getting out of the city!

Thistles

I enjoy seeing contrasts and this thistle provides just that. There is the darkness of the thistles and the grays and whites of the sky. It gives me a foreboding type of feeling.

As I walked around the Draper Temple I noticed the sprinklers that were watering the lawn in the front of the temple. The reflection of the temple on the sidewalk is beautiful!

Cloud of Smoke

I looked out the side of the house and saw this huge cloud of smoke that was obscuring the sun. I grabbed my camera and took a few photographs. I like the colors, from the deep blue to the bright yellow right next to the sun.

White Pansy

I really like the water on this Pansy. It just seems to bring it to life.

Draper Temple

Here is the stark beauty of the Draper Temple against the dawn sky and the trees and bushes that surround it.

Tulips and Daffodils at the Manti Temple

The Manti Temple has that "old world" flavor to me. It offers so many colors and hues.

Scared of the Rocks

The rocks were big and they went down very quickly. The little girl was petrified and did not want to move. The little boy climbed all over the rocks. This is a fun picture of emotions.

Jordan River Temple

The Jordan River Temple is special to me. My sister, Tina, was married there. This has been my assigned temple for much of my adult life. The moon was full and quite beautiful the morning that I took this photograph.

Donut Falls in the Fall

I love to go up Big Cottonwood Canyon to Donut Falls. There is always a bunch of good things to photograph up there.

Couple in Garden at Temple Square

I love the garden between the Salt Lake Temple and its Annex. It is awesome. This couple was wonderful to work with.

Manti Temple at Dusk

I attended the "Manti Miracle Pagent" with the youth. While waiting for the show to begin, I took this photograph. I enjoy the coloring of the lights on the temple.

State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah

This was photographed from Ensign Peak looking down the 20+ miles of State Street. The Capital building was still under construction. Also note that Franklin Covey Field (on 13th South - to the right in the photo) is lit up.
