Saw these little guys at The Living Aquarium in Sandy, UT. I took lots of other pictures, but none of them ended up looking very good. You can only get pictures to look *so good* through 6 inches of glass...so this is all I have for you! (and they're really not the greatest, I know)

I haven't been living up to my promise to post as often as possible (eek!). Sorry guys! Life has been crazy lately. That, combined with laziness = no blog posts. :( I'm working on a bunch of photos, though, so bear with me!! Here are a couple more random shots from Gamesfield Trail!

What a cute little cabin! It was hiding in the trees across the water, but obviously not hiding well enough because I FOUND IT!! I realize that this picture could use some serious editing, but I'm lazy and it's really not that bad "as-is"....at least that's my opinion...

These are "Showy Milkweed" blossoms. MilkWEED?! I was walking a trail by Utah Lake with some coworkers when I spotted these. I loved them and HAD to take some pictures. I don't know about you, but I think they're awesome!! I called it "the star flower" until one of the guys in the office (who went on the walk) who is a former horticulture major corrected me....Thanks Ben!

So these are essentially the same picture. Just goes to show what you can do with the right equipment and the know-how! I took these to prove a point to a friend of mine and ended up kinda' liking the pictures...If you look, you can see that the foremost flower is in focus in the first picture and the green pods are in focus in the second, while the flower is...not so much.

Pansies from the Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival. I (unfortunately) went about a week or so before the tulips bloomed...but, as you can see, there were other flowers to snap! I have always loved pansies. My grandfather, who has always had quite the green thumb, always had them in his flower beds. He called them "monkey faces" if I remember correctly.
