Cool Thoughts

on Friday, July 22, 2011

It's been so hot here on the Plateau this week, that I needed to find some cool comfort. I thought looking at this picture from a couple of years ago might help, but relief doesn't last very long.

Betsy at Cedar Breaks

One of the things Betsy is passionate about is snow. Each winter she thinks we never get enough. On June 20 we went to Cedar Breaks National Monument in Utah. The monument had opened for the season three days before, and Betsy found these snow banks near the Visitor Center. Can you tell how happy she is?

Snow at Cedar Breaks

We visited Cedar Breaks National Monument near Cedar City, Utah, on an incredibly beautiful day in June. The roads had been opened for the season three days before we visited, and there was still plenty of snow around. This picture shows the snow at one side of the Visitor Center, as well as the beautiful blue sky we enjoyed that day.

Artistry in the Snow

I imagine that many of you are sick and tired of seeing snow pictures, but I couldn't resist posting this picture. I like the soft curves in the snow bank along a roadside ditch just below our house. God is a marvelous artist.

More Snow

Betsy was an associate minister when I met her and I've always suspected that she had "connections". She likes snow and has commented several times about our lack of snow here on the Plateau. But look what we came back to Monday afternoon. I don't think it does her much good to try and hide her connections with a scene like this!

Trees After the Storm

This picture was taken Saturday after most of the storm had passed. It shows some of the trees from the vacant lot below our house with their branches weighed down by the snow and ice. The day was dull and gray, but the trees were something for us southerners to behold.

Evergreen in the Snow

We had a light snowfall earlier this month. It wasn't nearly enough to make Betsy happy, but it was enough for me to get this picture.
