Framing a Flower

Flower: I didn't do it I promise. I was framed.
FBI (Flower Bureau of Investigation): Come on pansy own up to it. Next thing you'll be saying it was ivy.
Flower: Give me a break! It was my bud. Leaf me alone.

Flax Flower

This amazing little blue flower can make anything from linen to linoleum. Flax seed is also know as linseed. I took this picture in Rock Canyon in Provo, Utah. There these little beauties grow along side many other wild flowers.

Happy Valley

Utah Valley is often referred to as happy valley. It is a beautiful place. No place is perfect, but any place can be happy. It is the perspective of the people who live in Utah Valley that makes it so happy. We all create our own happiness. The way we interpret our circumstance and the hope that a Christ centered life brings can make any place a happy place to live.

The Incredible Hulk Flowers

It is official the incredible Hulk is so big that a flower has been genetically engineered to mimic his coloring of green with those snazzy purple pants. I could be mistaken however. I took this picture in Rock Canyon in Provo Utah. I am pretty sure that these flowers have no association with the Incredible Hulk, but they sure do a good job mimicking his colors.

Wolf Spider in Rock Canyon

This hairy wolf spider was sharing the trail in rock canyon with me. As I was taking pictures of me he kept charging at me. A very aggressive individual.

Thistle Flower

It is funny how something so prickly can put out such a beautiful blossom. Thistle is considered a weed and a burden by most, but it has a redeeming quality, its blossom. Most of us however prickly and ugly, when allowed to blossom can brighten somebodies day.

How in The World?

Have you ever looked at a situation and thought to yourself how in the world did that happen. Me too. I took this picture of a car mostly covered by a landslide in Rock Canyon, Provo, Utah. I have always wondered, one, how the car even got to that point in the canyon, and then how did it end up at the bottom of the canyon covered with rocks.

A Flower for the Lady

This little gem comes from a trip up Rock Canyon in Provo, Utah. There are some very beautiful wild flowers and a wide variety of animals up the canyon. It is only five minute from the campus of BYU and serves to entertain a large student body, and the surrounding community.
