Brent and I took a hike over spring break in Carbon Canyon. It was a beautiful day! You can see here some fire damage from the fires of last year. Fortunately, the area in this photo sustained minimal damage but the homes just over the hill, suffered a lot of fire damage. It is always intriguing to me (and even spiritually symbolic) how in spite of a devastating fire, spring and new life still emerges with promise of a brighter future.
I have to laugh at this picture. We live somewhat "downstream" from this dam. I have always wondered about the possibility that perhaps in an earthquake we would suffer a secondary trauma of flooding...but if you look carefully to my left you will see that there is absolutely no water behind the dam! I felt somewhat relieved about the flooding danger...perhaps need to be more concerned about the drought!
All that beautiful yellow is actually a very invasive weed that has taken over since the fires. In fact, the youth of our Stake are considering a service project in connection with youth conference to hack down the stuff! The weed has completely overtaken the nature trail.
End of a fun hike with a great son!

Brent can come do a weed whacking warm-up in my backyard :) The weeds are as tall as me now! I like your new blog background.
