Desert Ranch in Southern Utah – Caineville

Desert Ranch in Southern Utah - Caineville

A desert ranch in southern Utah, on the road between Caineville and Hanksville.  This is a lesser traveled part of the state, on the backside of Capitol Reef National Park, but definitely one of the most beautiful. The contrast  between the green irrigated fields below and South Caineville Mesa in the background is what made this shot in my mind.  Not to mention the tranquil rural scene that makes you want to leave the city behind and pick up ranching for a living.

American Flags Flying – West Jordan, Utah

American Flags Flying - West Jordan, Utah

A field of American flags flying on a warm summer day in West Jordan, Utah. This was a celebration of VE-day (Victory in Europe Day during World War 2 (WWII). But it could just as easily have been from Memorial Day or Veterans Day. A common sight across the United States on those special days when we honor the sacrifice of military veterans during their service in war and peace.

Lower Bell Canyon Reservoir in the Fall – Utah

Lower Bell Canyon Reservoir in the Fall - Utah

A view of Lower Bell Canyon Reservoir in the Fall.  Bell Canyon sits just to the south of Little Cottonwood Canyon, in the Wasatch Mountains of northern Utah. The reservoir itself sits in the foothills above the city of Sandy, one of many communities in the Salt Lake Valley. The hike to the reservoir is a fairly short and enjoyable one, while more extended hikes can be had to Bell Canyon Falls, and Upper Bell Canyon Reservoir farther up the canyon.
