This week was another family reunion...this time up Big Cottonwood Canyon. On Thursday morning after a relaxing breakfast, I went for a walk with my nephew and sister. It is so beautiful up in the mountains. I can't believe how easy it is for me to forget the beautiful world when I am stuck in my office or stuck in the city. Oh how I love these opportunities to get out and experience nature!
Every year for the past 5 years, I have taken the Brighton LDS Girls Camp Staff Photo. I always look forward to this photo because the staff members are so much fun to be around! They are a bright, spiritual, energetic, friendly bunch of amazing women who spend their entire summer up at Brighton (right on the ski resort slopes) to enhance the lives of young teenage girls.
This year I wanted to take some detail shots of the camp and of their surroundings. It is breathtaking up there! I am jealous that they get to be there ALL summer long. The drive up Big Cottonwood Canyon was so pleasant with the sun shining, blue skies above me, and big rocky cliffs covered in trees in all directions.
First off, I want to wish you well and I hope you survived Friday the 13th!
Today was a beautiful Saturday: perfect for a drive up the canyon. I went up Big Cottonwood Canyon to check out the snow levels, scout out locations, and to enjoy my car ;) As usual, the immense cliffs dotted with fir trees was overwhelmingly beautiful. Instead of focusing on this familiar aspect, I decided to look at it from a different perspective. Here are a few shots of some close ups. It's amazing to me how breathtaking this world can be from any view, no matter how wide or narrow your perspective.
