from Salt Lake

Along the way...

When you pull into a rest area you never know what you might see...this time was a lady on her way to Las Vegas to ride one of her horses in a show there. Her faithful companion Buster always by her side. What a sweet dog he is.

Below you see Baxter munching on his lunch of some tasty hay. The other horse in the background is the owners favorite riding horse Beau.

a few flowers to greet you on the way to the small Chapel on grounds.

The famous Salt Lake Temple

And the ever so world famous Mormon Tabernacle Organ, 11,623 pipes to be exact. Yes this is where the Mormon Choir performs and you would not believe the acoustics.

The gardens on grounds are just abundant with color

Bryce Canyon

I love these formations

Nope no rainbow here but check out that elevation.

getting ready

I saw this vignette when we were at a recent horse show. It's not the cowboy hat I have but it is one I aspire to. Going to Big Sky Country!!!

Not Mr Ed

This horse was hysterical......that first shot he was laughing and I must have stood there for a good ten minutes and he just kept laughing....BUT....only when I held up the camera. Mr Doodles and I got a lot of enjoyment outta this guy.

Joshua tree in bloom

A peek

at the Poppies that are just now beginning to come out....we went on a day that was less than idyllic, translated to say cold and windy, very very windy. So the sweet little poppies don't open unless it's warm and sunny without the wind.

But the orange you see in this photo are masses of poppies just ready to burst open. When you look out the hills look like they are beginning to rust - but no my friends this is just gorgeous. We are going back when the wind has died down and a bit warmer.
