The View and other happenings

This was the view this morning. 

 The Valley was covered in a blanket of fog.  I left the houses in the shot for perspective. 

 The Sunrise. 

Holly had her first choir Christmas performance.  It was the North Ogden tree lighting ceremony.  There is a little duck pond and park next to Lee's (corner grocery).  The city decorates this and sets up a little house for Santa to visit the kids.  Holly's choir performed three songs and then Santa and Mrs. Clause rode up on a firetruck.  They chose 5 kids (one from every elementary school) and they helped flip the switch to light up the park.  

These are pictures that Rob took of the Spiral Jetty (an earthwork sculpture constructed in April, 1970 that is considered to be the central work of American sculptor Robert Smithson  (Wikipedia)).  The Great Salt Lake fluctuates enough that sometimes you can see this sculpture and sometimes it is submerged.  I love the look of the water against the sky.  

These are some pictures of the kids playing that I took just for practice.  

These are pictures that I took after a big snow storm in November.  We are all green and brown again but for a few days we were white.
