Beauty Around Me

[Scott Card]

In an effort to contribute my "outdoor" adventures and add to this site, and in response to tcope, I offer the following photo and thread.

I love the fall colors forum, but hey, there is beauty all around us all year long. So here is my Sunday trip report to my neighbors house. I went there to see if these two twin boys were ready to go camping and what gear needs they had. I was asking because I am an adult leader of a group of 6 boys ages 11 -13. I guess I could be considered a scout master except we don't do the scouting program. We have a campout planned two weeks from now. So, when I was on the front porch I spotted this perfect rose hidden from the front view of the bush and mostly hidden from view anywhere. Enjoy this beautiful little flower that has survived a frost or two. I'd love to see the beauty that you are seeing when you are out and about.

The Grand Teton a couple of weeks ago. Rainy trip but we still got some glimpses of it.

Lovely! That looks very like the road to Hop Valley (and hence to Kolob reservoir and Lava Point); all very favourite places close to my heart.

This is from a recent morning bike ride into work. We have had some spectacular sunrises/sunsets lately here along the Wasatch Front.

...And three weeks ago near Bald Mountain Pass.

...I was there in April and they had all the trails open except Wall Street...and that was because they didn't want people to get so close to each other...isn't that ridiculous? Every other trial you're walking by or next to tons of other people anyway...and a bunch of them had masks on!

Yep--wall street was still closed a couple weeks ago as well.
A shame as it offers big bang for a short hike buck.

[Scott Card]

...and a bunch of them had masks on! I just came out of Rock Canyon east of Provo, Utah. Yep, saw a lady hiking alone with a mask on. In 2 hours I probably saw 8 people..... and one with a mask. :facepalm1:

[Clipped_in]

Yep, I saw a guy yesterday riding his bike with a mask on...:crazycobasa:

[Iceaxe]

I ride my MTB in Corner Canyon 5 days a week, and hikers in the middle of nowhere wearing a mask is common place.

....when I see a guy in the middle of nowhere I always wonder if he's also wearing a condom... you know... just to be safe.

[Scott Card]

So the dark photo was taken while in my sleeping bag in the bed of my truck. Full moon in Buckhorn Wash/Draw. The same photo was taken in the morning from my sleeping bag. The other photo is the "Little Grand Canyon" view of the area. The middle of nowhere is a beautiful place!
