Dear jeebus, SLC and its surroundings doesn’t half look pretty in the snow. Just going to the local supermarket to pick up dog food is a joy if you time the sun/weather right… Here’s some trees in a rare second post in the same week. Amazing what can be achieved with an extra hour.
ps. Thanks for the comments at Flickr. I’ll be answering them properly v. soon. Honest
First proper snowfall in Sugar House, just a few inches overnight, but enough to make for a lovely walk through the neighbourhood with young Atticus snapping the frozen remains of autumn. Clocks go back tonight in North’merica, y’all, and my snowshoes should be arriving from ebay any moment…
Soldier Hollow Sheepdog Trials 2011. The weather’s taken a turn for the perfect round here of late. Still practising with the time lapse camera, hopefully should be capturing the horse chestnut tree outside’s transition.
Just got back from another fantastic trip back home to the UK. I think I managed to miss the worst excesses of the Utahn summer though it’s still hitting 90°F+, whatever that is in real money, on a regular basis.
Of course, Atticus is pretty resilient to whatever temperatures come our way but our walks tend to be around sunset now. These here fisheye shots are from a brief walk round the neighbourhood yesterday evening.
The next post might well be a timelapse video. I just ordered this gadget and can’t wait to test drive it… Hasta pronto y’all!
Haven’t had a portrait-orientation pic for a while… I still can’t quite get over the countryside round these parts. I expected desert, and more desert, and maybe the occasional cactus, but it’s lush- tons of springs, waterfalls, greenery. Very happy with this turn of events. And then after we got back home it started raining, proper thunder-and-lightning, Guadalajara-style rain. This is what Sundays should be like. Did I mention the complete absence of traffic too? Starting to understand why lots of people have told us not to tell the world about SLC…
Icy stream flowing through Salt Lake City’s Sugar House park
Well it happened again- we moved. Subscribers to this blog can stay for free at the drop of a hat’s notice at our new place in Utah. We’ll stock up from the State Liquor Store well in advance. After nearly a month of not getting out much, we’re gradually expanding our explorations from IKEA and Home Depot to Salt Lake’s more natural surroundings. Baby steps though… Today our (gorgeous) local park, tomorrow, Zion… well, not literally. The 4th of July weekend’s not the best time to travel…
