340/365 Stick Season

We are now in that time of the year, at least in Salt Lake City, that's between fall and full on winter where everywhere you look are sticks. Or Christmas lights...

339/365 Old Door

I love old doors. They always make me wonder how many times they were opened, the people who passed through them, and what stories they could tell.

338/365 Vic's Roadside Memorial

Daylight got away from me again today. So here's one from a safari a couple days ago. I do love the roadside memorials.

336/365 Wind Sock and the Moon

At the south end of the Great Salt is an airport of sorts. It is where paragliders land and take off. Right now, the only thing that designates this area is this wind sock.

335/365 Rose Snowtograph

We had snow, and I had little time for a photo safari today, so a snowtograph it is.

334/365 The Skeet Are Faring Well!

We had the first snow of the winter on the valley floor. I was worried how the skeet would take it. As you can see, the skeet are doing just fine. I'll be checking in on them trough the winter.

333/365 South Island Trail Troll

Drive to Antelope Island, keep going past Fielding Garr Ranch, down to the end of the dirt road, walk a mile along the South Island Trail, and finally, look to the left and you'll be greeted with a crooked smile.

331/365 Save the Skeet

A while back NPR's show "Click 'n Clack" was sponsored by Save the Skeet Foundation. The skeet must have been in real trouble. But today, we see they are recovering. I was abe to photograph some out by the Audubon Lee Creek Natural Area.

330/365 Our Neighbors Wild Flowers

Wild, not as in flowers you find in the wild. But in the "Oh wow! Those flowers are really wild."

329/365 Some Color at the Marina

It seems like the only colors at a marina is blue and white. I found some color on a couple of kayaks.

328/365 Rose Petals

On my brief walkabout this afternoon, I found this rose petal. A bright splash of color against the charcoal bark.

327/365 Daisies in November

We still have daisies in November. Although I think these will be the last. It's been near freezing the past couple mornings and the winter inversions are starting.

326/365 Vine Leaves

I went on a short photo safari to the other side of town this morning. I captured these vine leaves on a cement wall. Earlier this week, the wall was covered with these leaves.

324/365 Nary a Dock In Sight

Much less a lake or river. But if you need some captain chairs. A hectic day, so I am posting one from my photo safari near Le Grand, OR, last week.

321/365 Yucca Shadow

I was able to get out as the sun was getting low in the west. I thought this shadow from the yucca plant was striking.

320/365 It's Raining

I think we are getting some the remnants of the storms that hit Southern California. Which is good. It's been a little warm here is SLC. Hopefully this is a prelude to winter.

I made a quick trip up to the Kamas and Francis area this morning to find today's picture. I found this abandoned this cabin off of the road of Francis.

316/365 That Antenna Needs A Little Tweaking

Honey, the TV's not working. Would you fix the antenna while you're outside? I hope when this house burned down, it was for practice for the La Grand, OR, fire dept.
