day 357.





this was taken in st. george!
we missed the snowfall, but when we came back, it was STILL THERE.
our next door neighbors built these cute snowmen.



day 351.





Ho, Ho, the Mistletoe,
hung where you can see

that stuff with the white-ish berries is Mistletoe!


day 345.





evening stroll around the block. in the rain. with jax.

day 344.



fog.





day 321.



yes, this year we got our tree the day BEFORE thanksgiving, but it worked out best that way.

it was hard choosing my photo of the day for this day, i got a lot of fun photos on this day.
but i like this one. it says it all. andy is thigh deep in this beautiful , freezing white stuff, plowing mightily toward what is soon to become our christmas tree! man, this guy is tough. he nearly passed out after he cut down the thing and dragged it by himself across that crazy deep snow. not to mention it was probably like -10 degrees.

but even he says it was worth it.

the sky was SO blue and the air was SO crisp, and it was SO dang peaceful. It was truly a winter wonderland.



day 320.



the weather outside is frightful.
but in a way, its sort of delightful!
p.s. this isn't today's right photo. for some bizarre reason i guess i forgot to take one this day..although i refuse to believe that is true. i think i did...my computer just swallowed it up.



day 311.



parowan, T&A gas station.
i did not edit this!!




day 297.




happy real halloween.
although this has nothing to do with it.
we went on a beautiful sunday drive to pine valley.

one day i will have a zoom lens.
i promise.
 and it will be great.
and i will use it all the time and wonder how i ever lived without it.
but until then, i have to try to use what i have.

not bad though, right?


day 295.





Zion in the fall, have you seen it??

you need to.


i did not edit this picture! it was SO crazy beautiful there!! i love it.





day 286.






usually, spring through fall
if i walk out of my back door to take the trash out, this is what i see.
a big ugly dull wall,
and peeking above it , the brightest rose EVER.

on overcast days it pops even more.

i like it.





day 285.




this photo is special to me
because
whenever i see those beams of light coming down from the sky like that,
(do you see them?)
I think of my Grandma Gentry.
We were driving back from her funeral and the sky looked somewhat like this.
well, not stormy clouds, but more peaceful clouds with those amazing beams of light shining down like that.

I don't remember if someone in my family said it, or if i was just thinking it, but I thought of those beams of light as heaven opening itself up and welcoming my Grandma.
A lot of peace & calm came to me when i saw that.

I always love to see the sky doing that.
I think, who is heaven opening itself up to today?

(maybe thats cheesy, ok well i'm sure it is, but I DONT CARE!)



day 264.




i did not take this photo on tuesday.
i am lying.
and i hate liars.
but its either lie or not post anything on this day.
my computer crashed, so i lost today's real photo.


anyway. i love cows.
( i took this on monday. on the drive home at the Gentry Ranch in beaver)

i took this on the way home from Richfield.
It was by the cove fort exit.
