Jordan River at 3900 South
The Jordan river meanders from Utah Lake, through the residential city blocks of Salt Lake City, to it's end in the Great Salt Lake. For the perfect painting op, I frequent the bike trail that travels along the river amidst abundant wildlife.

Autumn Anemones
Also called Japanese Autumn Anemones, these are one of my favorite garden flowers because after all the other flowers have faded in the fall, these come into full bloom. We grew both the pink and the white in our garden in Michigan. I recently found a bed of white anemones at the Sugarhouse Library that had just finished their bloom.

Flash Flood Warning, St. George, Utah
Sugarhouse Park
I still find it hard to believe that this is the view from Sugarhouse Park just one mile from our home.

Wasatch Morning
Mountain Meadow
Many of the hikes here in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah open up to meadows like this which are the headwaters of the streams. I've just picked up a book called '60 Hikes Within 60 Miles' of Salt Lake City. Here it is the middle of November and it was 60 degrees today with lots of sun. Looks like the hiking season lasts quite a while out here:)

The Evergreen Gallery is having a small works show on Friday, Nov. 21, so I kinda got carried away and created 20 2"x3" mini paintings. They look nice in the small ceramic frames I found.

Changing Seasons
Hiking up Mill Creek Canyon
This was the view across the canyon while I was hiking the other morning. The sun was just coming over the ridge and popping the trees out of deep shadow into brilliant illumination. Not yet being acclimated to the altitude I found myself stopping to get some air quite often:) That wouldn't have been so bad except a gentleman about seventy came jogging past me wishing me a "Good Morning". Me thinks I need to get out more often.
