I see this and I think of  how God is the most glorious artist and  scientist.  The natural world is incredible,  the way God works the laws of the universe to make beauty for us to remind us that there is something more than the muck and despair that many of us have to wade through.  The visual and auditory beauty that surrounds us in nature is evidence that we need more than practicality in our lives.  We need to be lifted up, to look up and receive hope.

There is a lot of older farm equipment around town that provides terrific subject matter. The old paint is lovely.

Sometimes a simple image is one that strikes you.  Straight forward shapes, colors, and composition are seductive.  Also who dosen’t love a sunset!

The LDS Conference Center is an amazingly efficient and beautiful building. I couldn’t help myself I’ve always loved skylights, stained glass, and kaleidoscopes – looks like all three.

This fall was the county fair, lots of animals and lots of exhibits.  By the exhibit buildings are these wonderful trees, the trunks are quite thick.  I loved the flags  strung up between them.  It’s good to have holidays, celebrations and fairs. We all need things to look forward to.

It is amazing what farmers do to survive, to provide for their families, and produce a crop.  I do admire the symmetry of the sprinklers, but farmers and ranchers are really impressive.

I was caught in traffic and glad of it because of the stunning color and light occuring in the clouds.

I’ve been exploring on my bike a lot when the weather’s good.  In the morning the light is great, all the water just crystallizes.   Here it seems that the sun bleaches all the color leaving the light and dark.

We went to Swazie’s Beach, an imported beach on the banks of the Green River.  We had a terrific time going down the river and over the rapids.   The sun was pretty intense, thus the golf umbrella.  Nothing like laying on the beach trying to augment my fake tan with the real thing.

I love that there appears to be nothing to water, but two weeks later this field was full of green stuff.  Again notice the light coming through the water, lovely.  Irrigation, a necessity here, but there is beauty in everything.
