Day 229 ~ Wasatch Mountains

 

 

 

After our classes at BYU Education Week today, we picked up my niece and drove up to Snowbird.  My parents bought a time share condominium there when I was in grade school and now it belongs to my brothers and sister and I.  This is our week, so my sister was spending the week up there.  I took these photos of the mountains on the drive up.  I miss the mountains!

Day 227 ~ BYU Campus

I flew to Utah to visit my mom.  She was just diagnosed with breast cancer.  So we went to BYU Education Week this week.  It is wonderful and just what we both needed!  These flowers are some of the many beautiful flowers on campus.

We were in the Sam's Club parking lot and heading back to our car when I noticed the sunset.  Good thing I've started carrying my camera with me more :)

Day 223 ~ "Jacqueline" and the Beanstalk

We drove to Fort Worth this afternoon so we could see some of our friends.  Three of their children were in a play tonight, which we thoroughly enjoyed :)  Their oldest daughter was the lead, so they renamed it "Jacqueline" and the Beanstalk instead of "Jack."  She was incredible!  Both her acting and singing was just amazing! 

Unfortunately I forgot my CPAP machine and I can't sleep without it, so we drove back home late that night :(

Day 216 ~ Immature Katydid

This little guy looked plain green until I pulled it up on my computer. Maybe it's time for me to wear my glasses?!  But his coloring is quite interesting.  I thought he was a cricket, but after looking on the internet I think he is a Bush Katydid nymph.

Day 215 ~ Tree Bark

Our next assignment is to take photos of trees and flowers.  I don't have any flowers on my property at the moment, so I'll have to go for a drive tomorrow.

Day 214 ~ Itsy Bitsy Spider - Not!

I was walking on the back of our property tonight and found this spider on the side of the path.  It was huge - it's body was about an inch long. Apparently it is a female Yellow Garden Orb Weaver Spider and it's considered a beneficial spider.  This is the underside of the spider.  Yuck!
