That's what I thought too Marilynne, I know that it is just a sun glare, but it was freaky to see it there when I was going through the shots on my computer.

Week 26/52 Theme: Motion. This beautiful lady was flipping her blond hair around and posing for me.

Week 28/52 Theme: Gates. This is the antique gate in front of the Manti Temple in Utah. It is really dry here so there was a big dry spot on the lawn, but the flowers are pretty. There is actually a sidewalk between the flowers and the gate, but I got down on my belly to get this shot so the sidewalk is not visible.

Week 29/52 Theme: Night. We went to Bear Lake for the Holiday weekend. As we were driving around the lake I saw this huge group of geese. They were just wandering around on the grass next to the lake. Being a photographer, you know that I parked illegally, jumped out of the car, and ran through the geese crap to get a shot. Well, that scattered the geese and I chased them into the water. That was perfect because the sun was low and the colors were nice. All of those geese in the water were on the grass until this seasoned photographer got excited and scared them away. :cool:

This is another shot of the Cache Valley as we were coming home. With the beautiful puffy clouds and the perfect green fields, I thought it was a spectacular scene.

Great shots Wendy but I don't think I would have told
that story on myself. You could just say you were positioning them exactly where you wanted them. I would have bought that:)

LOL Ron, I can only share the story with other "seasoned photographers", because I know that we all do things like that. LOL

I would not put that to a vote. I, for one, do not always believe that confession is good for the soul. We need to maintain our air of invincibility. I only confess to my mirror and I do not altogether trust the fellow I see there. Loose lips, sinks ships.:excitement:

25/52 Theme: Roadside. When we were in San Jose, we were driving to the airport when I saw this beautiful purple tree by the side of the road in an industrial area. I have no idea what kind of tree it is, but it was something that I hadn't seen before.

Looks like a Jacaranda tree Wendy, quite common around here

great photos by the way

Thanks for identifying the tree Roy. It is a different tree for we who live in the desert, Jacaranda Tree's don't grow here. But now I have a nice photo of one. Thanks for the compliment. :cool:

Ron, you must be friends with Moab Man, he says that same thing "Loose lips, sink ships." And he also says, "The only two people that can keep is secret is if one of them is dead."

Week 29/52 Theme: Extreme. I went on a hike up the mountain that is in back of my daughter's house. This place has an incredible view of the whole valley from Ogden to SLC and over the Great Salt Lake. I will be taking more hikes here. This is an extreme shot of the sunset at about 6000 feet above sea level.

While on the climb up the mountain, I found this strange piece of machinery. I positioned myself so that the valley would be in the background of this interesting "thing". Does anyone know what this machine does?
