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.

I’ve been biking around fields in the valley and have been really appreciating the back lit quality of these “wheel” style sprinklers.  It is really fun to catch the droplets of water and the symmetrical shine on the wheel tops.

Apparently you can not only name your kids and your pets, you can also name the county snow plows.

We were doing our homework under the cherry tree and it was populated with honey bees. Luckily they found interest only in the blossoms.
