Wanda Takes An Afternoon Nap 04_03_06.jpg

On my days off we like to go for a hike. There is a storm moving in and in Utah that means warm south winds. Even at the top of the Wasatch Plateau it was 50 degrees. You can really work up a sweat when snowshoeing on a Spring day and we did today. Wanda found a nice sunny slope to take a mid afternoon nap while I snapped pictures.

I took thess images to let you see how deep the snow still is where we hike




Here is a black and white taken a little ways from where Wanda was napping


And last, here is Wanda trudging up the hill

I was going to ask this yesterday...after the "Caution" tape picture...but I thought it was just the angle or pose. Now I have to ask...Wanda..have you lost weight? Step up the workouts? (No, I'm not implying either was needed...you just look thinner!)

Either way, great shots...can't believe how much snow you have! Bill, what year is the PT Cruiser? I have a 2001...but not a "Woody" and no moon roof...but I love the car!

Take care...when are you leaving for Yellowstone? BTW...I have another show next month, and I'm having some prints done on gallery-wrapped canvas for the first time...I'll let you know how they turn out - some of your work would lend them selves to both the size (I'm printing at 32X22) and the texture.
