Lonely, Waiting for a Friend

365/125 Thursday May 7, 2009

When I went to gather the newspaper from the driveway this morning this was the sight that greeted me across the street. For all my Pacific NW family and friends, notice the sky!! No clouds just big, blue and brightly lit even at 7 in the morning!

Blooming Cactus

Down the street from us, just before you get to I-15 is a meridian and planted there are these cactus. I've noticed for the last few days that they have big bloom pods on them and yesterday I spotted one had opened so we went back to today to take these shots. The fragrance when you get up close was amazingly wonderful. The cactus itself is a contrast in nature, prickly cactus and beautiful blossoms. They don't seem to go together but the outcome is just spectacular.

Bumble Bees
I tried to catch the bees as they were hovering around my front yard blooms.
I got one, but not the shot I wanted, another day.

Looks can be deceiving.

Doesn't this look like a rugged stream in the middle of the forest?
Nope, just the entrance to one of the complexes here.

I love the reflections here but his eyes are what really got me, they don't look real do they?

I love Palm Trees and there are so many varieties here. I thought this was a great perspective of one. So many of them look pretty sad right now, we had a harsher winter and the fronds are pretty brown. I'll be anxious to know if they come back to their green glory as spring progresses into summer.

Spring has sprung, within the space of hours the trees have begun to blossom. What an uplifting sight it is to see the trees covered in beautiful blossoms.

365/40 Tuesday February 10 -2009 -Water Wheel

OK so I didn't like the building and cars behind the water wheel, it took away from the great mood this projected.

I had taken the photo of the trees next to it at the same time so I popped out the background and added the new one in Photo Shop. Here's the original photo

365/19 January 19-2009 I ran to Costco just before dusk tonight and when I came out this beautiful sunset was greeting me. I'm getting better I had my camera right with me. I've gotten in the habit of putting it in my purse whenever I leave the house, something new for me. I was glad tonight that's what I'd done.

365/18 January 18-2009 At the edge of Green Springs Golf Course, Washington Utah.

I always love photos like this, in reality it's the road the golf carts take around the one end of the Golf Course, but in my mind it can be the pathway to where ever. I love the way the trees, barren of summers leaves, dip toward the pathway and how it winds and draws you eye inward down the path.

I've seen pages where a photo of someone has been placed walking down the path. I'll have to scout out my pictures and see if I have any of anyone walking away, would make a great scrapbook page.

January 16-2009 One of the draws to moving here was the beautiful bright blue skies. As I've said before living my life in the Pacific Northwest you became accustomed to overcast gray skies. The site of this flag slowly moving in the breeze against the blue blue sky just speaks for itself.

There is another flag I wished I had gone back and taken a photo of the day the winds were blowing here. We were on our way home from the gym and this flag, in front of a small manufacturing firm, was waving it's heart out. But what caught my attention was the flag was faded, and tattered and torn and was still just as touching if not more so. As soon as the winds come again I'll be there, camera in hand, to get a photo of that flag for you and for me.

In the heart of this little town we moved to, Washington City, is this park. I've passed it many times but today decided the statues here would make a nice picture for my 365 Project. I was really taken when I got out to look. Not one but several statures were cast to represent the settles that came to grow Cotton in this new land in the mid 1800s. This is how this area became known as Dixie, most of these early settlers were Southerners from Alabama, Virginia, Texas Tennessee and the Carolinas. So far away from home they deemed this new land 'Utah's Dixie'. Represented here are many of the early farmers, come to carve out a home in a new and primitive land. Amazing!
