Goodbye to the Ice Castles

Well, the Midway Ice Castles have come and gone.  The weather finally got too warm to keep it up.  I'll miss them.  But I did get a few last shots in before they left!

Ice Castles 2014

One of the best things about this winter is the return of the Midway Ice Castles.  I love these things!  They're so creative and clever, and this year's structures are beautiful.  I look forward to going back!

Winter Defiance

It is wretchedly cold.  Cold and I don't get along.  It is during this time of year that I consistently threaten to move to Bermuda, or some such place.

So, in defiance of the nasty weather, I decided to warm myself up by posting photos from last winter's trip to Hawai'i's beautiful island of Oahu.

Think warm thoughts.  :-)

Midway Ice Castles

Several years ago, I discovered the beautiful Ice Castles in Midway, Utah.  Much to my dismay, they moved them the following year to Colorado.  And I haven't been able to get out there to capture them over the last couple of years.

But, to my intense delight, I learned that they have decided to bring them back to Midway again this year!  They'll still have the Colorado ones, but they're building in two locations.  So excited to see what they come up with this year!

First Snowfall of December

"Let it snow" indeed!  Here in Utah we've been clobbered by quite the storm.  Welcome to winter!

So what I do when it's snowing and the smartest thing would be to stay at home in front of a roaring fire with a mug of hot chocolate?

That's right.  I brave the elements in search of photo opportunities.

Autumn Colors

One of my favorite things about autumn -- not surprisingly -- is the fantastic colors!

Autumn leaves...I love them.  :-)

First Day of Fall

Autumn is quite probably my favorite season.  Crisp air, fall foliage, the start of the Holiday Season...autumn just basically rocks.
