Vacation with the Torgersens

What a great week I had at Oceanside with Jenae and Blake and Becky and Emily and Kaleb. These are some of my favorite shots.

Walk to Spanish Fork and Mapleton

It was a very gray day on Saturday when I walked from my house to Michelle's and then east to Mapleton and back home.



I was glad I had my camera with me.




This poem worked its way into my mind as I walked.




Gray

Quiet, softer glory gathers

when the world is gray—

soothing comforter that muffles

garish, hectic day.

Solemn, silent harmony

spreads over lonely space,

murmurs in receptive ear

whisperings of grace.

Walk to Slate Canyon Feb. 6, 2012

It was a beautiful day for a walk. I started with my coat and gloves on, but soon had to put them in my backpack.



The sky was that incredible deep blue that makes you feel like singing.




I love these views of Slate Canyon and Little Rock Canyon.







The trail was a bit damp in places.















I don't know why my "just before I left" picture ended up at the bottom of the page. I never know how to fix these blog shots.
