On My Day Off...

Luck for me, both my roommate (Emily) and myself had Tuesday off from work. And what a beautiful day it was too, much too nice to stay indoors. We opted for a walk in the park and an afternoon drive up into Little Cottonwood Canyon here in good ol' Utah.

The park was Wheeler Historic Farm, which meant we got to see farm animals. I always like visiting there it reminds me a good deal of home. It's also a convient place to visit since it's only a half mile from where I live.

On this particular day I brought my camera with me and managed some nice photos of the antique farm equipment that they showcase at Wheeler.

Of course this picture is just a small sampling of the pictures I have available of the antique machines. It just so happens that I'm now on a dial-up connection, and it's much to long of a download to be showing you more pictures. SORRY.








As I mentioned earlier, after the park Emily and I went up into Little Cottonwood Canyon. It was absolutely gorgeous up there. There's the rough rock, pine trees, snow (we still have some snow), and wonderful views. It's all too much to describe in words, I guess I'll have to be patient and show you another picture (here goes the long download process).

Okay, after what seems like an eternity later I have this picture up of a hidden waterfall that Emily and I found near Moss' Ledge. It was a short little walk and an absolutely spectacular view of rushing water.

Oh, and to your left is that snow I was telling you all about earlier. See thar's snow on them there peaks : ) Of course it was also in the upper 80's on this particular day and I had my shoulders pretty well burned to a crisp (lack of insight and sunscreen on my part), but there is snow.
