Black Bear

This “little” black bear is about 100 lbs or so and probably has about another summer before he’s out on his own. He was eating berries in a tree. After a couple of minutes or so, he climbed down to watch me curiously as I took photos. I didn’t see Mama Bear around anywhere but there was plenty of evidence on the ground that she was close by. I quietly took my photos and then I went back down the trail before his Mom came home.

Get on your Horse and Ride!

This is the best view in the entire world! If you are stressed, or just need a break, get on a horse! I did this over the long weekend up in Park City, and it was beautiful!

Spider Monkey Day Dream: The Grass is Greener on the Other Side.

Have you ever wanted something you couldn't have. At some point this occurs to the best of us.We all have our day dreams in which we are rich or famous. We all have our moments in which we think, if only. But don't let dreaming of what might be make you miss out on what could have been if you had lived today. Dreams can either focus our lives and give us drive, or they can destroy us in a foul mood of ill contentment. Let your dreams be a driving force for good. Don't covet what is not yours, rather find a way to become what you dream off and no fence can ever hold you back. Don't sit at the base of the fence like this spider monkey with a dumb look on your face, but get to work and hatch the plan that will allow you to get over the fence, because when you get there by yourself, rather than having it given to you, you will find the grass greener on the other side.

Prairie Dog Showdown

These two don't seem to care much for each other. I didn't stick around to see who won this tiff, but it seemed to be more bark than bite. I took this picture at the Utah Hogle Zoo.

How the World Sees You.

Every one is full of opinions on who and what we should be. You may be mocked for the way you look, the way you walk, or the way you talk. We all look goofy at some point whether on accident or purpose. Don't let the opinions of others determine the way you see yourself.
