The Field is White....

The sunset was so beautiful on our drive back to Salt Lake from Cedar City. I don't think these pictures capture its full beauty.

 The heavens appeared to open up and pour out the light. I can't describe how pretty it was.

 I love the contrast in this photo from the bright blue sky, to the dark tree speckled mountains, to the soft glow of the yellow wheat and snow white open fields below.

Luke and I pulled over on the side of the freeway on our way back to Salt Lake from Cedar City this weekend after we found a beautiful location to take some spontaneous pictures. I have always wanted to take pictures in a snowy wheat field with the mountains in the background and so we did! It was a blast!

 Deep in thought

 This is so cold, but so fun!

 The sunset is almost as distracting as my bum crack bangs.... love it

 I think this shot looks so cool. Yes I am a wanna be photographer in my spare time ;)

 Gotta love the hood. It was a real bad hair day

 We had to climb two fences to get to the field....

Notice the somewhat distressed look on my face. The barbed wires may have gotten a hold of my pants and almost ripped them clean off, but hey I prefer no pants over pants any day! ;)

Brian Head Resort - Southern Utah

 The ride up to the resort was so beautiful I couldn't stop taking pictures... as you can see. The mountains, especially when they are snow covered, take my breath away every time. I love the mountains!

 One day I will have a cabin in the mountains! That makes my heart happy just thinking about that day.  :)

 Luke and I couldn't seem to pull together a smile at the same time in any of the shots... too goofy I guess!

I love taking picture way too much! We went snowboarding at Brain Head Resort on President's Day and the weather and the snow were absolutely perfect! It was a gorgeous day. The sun was shining and I have never seen so much fresh powder in a single day on the mountain. The resort was huge so we had a lot of different lifts and hills to choose from. The only time that the powder was annoying was when we got stuck in it... trying to get yourself out of a deep pit of snow while both legs are strapped to a board.... not easy! But regardless of the many yard sales and awesome wrecks we had an amazing day in the mountains!

Playing on Rocks - Pioneer Park - St. George Utah

These pictures are from a last minute trip to Southern Utah to find a little adventure....

 This is the rock that I was bouldering up, which means I was climbing up without a harness or any kind of gear, when I grabbed onto the side of a hole and the rock broke off. I was about 15-20 feet up when the rock broke and I lost control and fell to the ground! Luckily my friend Luke was below me when I fell and he caught me and broke my fall as I hit the ground It all happened so fast I didn't even know what was happening when I was falling or when he caught me. It felt pretty surreal. I'm just happy that he caught me and I didn't get hurt, because it definitely could have turned out much worse!

 This crack is called a skinny man cave. The rocks form so close to each other that you literally can't fit through parts unless you are as thin as the crack or you have to shimmy up to parts that are a little wider, but then you also run the risk of getting wedged in-between the rock and stuck! I don't think I have ever felt closterphobic before, but when we first entered the crack and I could barely even turn my head from one direction to the other I was feeling a little bit closterphobic. I got over it, kept my head facing one direction most of the time, and just didn't look back and I was fine. It was pretty fun shimmying through the crack... it was a fun little adventure! :)

In this picture Keith is shimming up above the ground to fit through the crack. He is about two or three feet up wedged in-between the two rocks.
