Arachnid 3 of 5

Orange and white are the team colors for this spider! This guy/gal is between two and three inches from leg to leg. One of the bigger spiders of the day but not the biggest.

Location, location, location is a concept understood by the littlest creatures of the world. I like the colors behind this web.

Afraid of spiders? Me too! The bigger they are the s-c-a-r-i-e-r they get! This spider has spun a web the size of your dinner plate! In fact, all the spider pictures I will be posting have very large webs. Their webs span across walking paths, between large sage brush bushes about three or more feet apart, and even between dead tree branches. Spiders are creepy, but they create delicate webs of death worthy of its capture. As a photo and food! Enjoy!

Canoes At Mirror Lake

I try and visit Mirror Lake at least once a year. I love it there. It is a beautiful place to photograph, fish and relax. I got luck again, and there were canoes out. They make a great subject to shoot around the lake. Next time, I hope to get a person in the canoe. May-be asleep, fishing or just paddling. Does any one want to come and be a model?

Fishing III

Of the lakes we visited on our little road trip, Trial Lake had more people drowning worms! This may-be due to the time of our visit or better fishing from this lake. Who knows? I didn't drop a hook!

Fishing II

The campground was closed to the campers at Moose Horn Lake, but the fish were biting! There were a few anglers in the water and a family along the shore hoping to catch a rainbow or brown trout. I wish, I had brought a pole with me.

In the Uintas there is still snow on the ground in July. This year is no exception, but it was July 31st and some areas had large piles (thing of a full size four wheel drive truck large) of snow slowly melting in the lake. The water is cold and this die hard fly fisherman was right out in it. He cast a few time while I was watching him and landed a beauty. I can only imagine the story he is telling now! I hope it is a doozy!

Fishing I

Caught this young couple and their reflection fishing at Mirror Lake in the Uintas. It was a beautiful morning, except the mosquitoes!

Thanks kids for the help in capturing these pictures. It was a lot of work to set up and clean up, but a blast no less! Love ya!

Water Balloon Fun

We had some fun with water balloons in the backyard today. Thanks kids!

Dragonflies

Dragonflies are fast movers. These guys happened to be at the edge of the water, near birds I was shooting. My hats off to those of you who shoot them often. You make it look so easy! Thanks.

Into The Blue Sky

I wish I could get a ride!
