City Creek Canyon Trees
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

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…
