Halloween Yard In Utah

My daughter, Amber, my grandson, and I traveled to Utah this past week to visit with family.  Oh my, the weather was so crazy warm in Utah….I didn’t even have to put a jacket on, ever!  And they actually still have most of the leaves on their trees.  It was a little strange coming home to leafless trees after being in Utah for a week.
I love Fall/Autumn….it’s the mostest (my friends word).  I know, not a word, but it works for me. 
We (both daughters, grandson, sister & myself) drove to a home nearby to see some Halloween decorations.  This person really decorates…….you actually get out of your vehicle and walk around the yard to see all the things that are displayed.  Some things were kind of creepy, but most of it was fun to see.

When taking pictures at night, without a tripod, it’s sometimes difficult to hold the camera still enough to get a good picture.  But, it can sometimes add to the Halloween theme of things….making the pictures even better.

Especially this one……………OoOOoOooOoO.

And wowziers…….look at the size of this Godzilla, balloon.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen a yard balloon this size.  That thing was so life-sized that you’d expect King Kong to come around the corner.

Deer With One Set Of Antlers

I took this photo looking out our dining room window on October 15th.  The strange thing about this picture and the deer only having one antler is that only a day or two before seeing this deer, I looked out my bedroom window and saw a huge moose with only one antler.  The moose, sad to say, was a bit faster at moving off the property than I was going to the other end of the house and retrieving my camera.  Hope he comes back because that would have been a great photo.

FYI – Since bucks as a norm shed their antlers between January and April, and moose normally shed their antlers between December and March, I’m thinking that this deer and the moose are rare.  Somewhere along the line, something must have happened to cause them to lose their antlers.

What Lack I Yet? – Handout

I had a friend ask me if I would make a handout for her church lesson on the 4th Sunday of this month.  Her lesson will be given from the talk given by Elder Larry R. Lawrence during the last LDS Conference – “What Lack I Yet?”.
I decided to make a handout using a picture I had taken at the Mackay Reservoir back in 2010.  I put the picture in PicMonkey and added some bokeh star shapes and radiance to the sky area. 

This is a fabulous talk.  If you would like to view or read this talk, you can go HERE.

Out My Back Door 10/19/15

I took these pictures at 9:15 this morning and it looks like it is going to be a dismal, cloudy day.  Although, the sun is trying to peek through in a few areas.  Actually, I sometimes like days when the sky is all cloudy…..it puts a different feeling into the air….Like Fall!
