A View and Some Snow

We took a little drive up into the mountains on Friday. We didn’t go that far up, but found this view. There is still a lot of snow in the mountains. Monday will we be at Arches National Park. There will be photos and video soon.

In the flow

I love long exposure photography. When I take LE photos on my DLSL, it takes a while to setup and capture a great image. This photo was taken with my iPhone using the ‘Live Photo” feature. The output of that is a long exposure photo to looks great. It’s expecially effective with fast moving water, like this shot.

A Salt Lake Sunset

I wrote about our dead battery experience previously .. this is another photo I took on our last visit to the Salt Lake Valley last week. This photo was taken from about 7500 to 8000 feet above bountilful in the Wasatch Mountains. The reflection is from the Great Salt Lake. The clouds made this photo extra special.

Time on the lake

When we stopped at Bountilful Lake, we didn’t realize there was going to be camp out happening. I mean there was tents everywhere. I managed to catch these two campers enjoying the sunset on the Lake. 

By the way, Bountiful Lake is not very large. It’s extremely small when viewed next to the Salt Lake.

Clark’s Grebe

This is a Clark’s Grebe .. or is it a Western Grebe? They are basically the same.  

This is one very cool bird. It was floating along and then it just disappeared. It must have been totally submerged for 3 to 5 mintues, or at least it seemed like it. It also has these cool, red eyes. 

A cool fact: “A group of grebes are collectively known as a "water dance" of grebes.“  From the iBird Pro app. 

I may have mentioned it before, but I use iBird Pro to help me identify birds. It is not cheap, but there is a Lite version if you want to try with less expense. These links are to the iOS version.
