Lady of the Feast

On the wall of a local restaurant I frequent, right above the table I normally sit at, watching as I eat.

Update: A Catholic friend of mine pointed out that I posted this on the same day as the Feast day of Our Lady of Guadcalupe. That wasn't intentional, but it's a pretty cool coincidence.

The Bridge

Took this photograph last week while driving the support van for Marathon Girl during her 20 mile run. It struck me as something you'd see in a horror novel. You know, kids ignore the sign, go on the bridge to jump into the river and have fun. Sooner or later they all end up dead. Yeah, that' s how my mind works.

Photo of the Day

The above photograph is the beginning of a 1952 nuclear test explosion approximately 1 millisecond after detonation. Photograph was done by Harold Edgerton using his innovative rapatronic camera.

Oddly beautiful and terrifying at the same time.

Frozen in Time

No, these pictures aren’t from the planet Hoth. They’re views of frozen Utah Lake and the surrounding area that I took February 17, 2008 as reminder of how cold this winter has been. Since then, temperatures have risen and the snow has begun to melt. Maybe spring will arrive after all. It should be noted though Marathon Girl and I are sick of the cold, our kids had a good time digging through the snow to find the ice and walking on the frozen lake. They didn’t want to leave even after the sun set and the temperatures dropped.
