Doctor Who

So a few months ago, Mandi-chan sent this link.  It has some awesome pictures dealing with everyone's favorite traveling doctor.  Check it out!

My favorite one is with the owls.  They're just so cute!  And the picture with the fog and the Doctor's running into the Tardis.  So cool!

Zion Narrows

What is my favorite hike?  Zion Narrows.  How many times have I hiked it?  8 times now.  How many times do I want to hike it?  Over 62 times to beat my Grandpa Fife, who hiked it that much.

Yes, I know, I have a long ways to go.  But it was amazing!!  We did it in two days, which I hadn't done for four years.  And it was my first time camping in a place other than the grotto.  Which used to be campsite 7, but a flash flood went through and destroyed it so, alas, we camped out near the best water in THE WORLD!!!

Big Springs!  This water is the essence of the Gods!  We filled all of our water bottles with this deliciousness, all 8 L worth!  It was heavenly.
And then the Narrows, which is the prettiest place on earth.  Even a group of Australians agreed with us.  They said they were from Sydney, and although there are a lot of cool rock formations, they said there is nothing like the Narrows anywhere.  So we're lucky to have such a beautiful place in our back yard.

Log jam!  These are common.  This was before the confluence of Deep Creek and the Virgin River.  And on our last leg of the trip, we discovered symmetrical rock stacking!  It was astounding, as you can see from Paul's face.

Yep, it was an amazing trip.  My cousin is planning on going again early next month, but instead we're doing a day blitz.  Which should be fun.  I so will be there!!
Until next time, Jekka G. Senoj signing off.

Fun Stuff

So, occasionally I find some pictures on my computer that I've had for ages but forgotten about.  A lot of them are so cool that I don't know why I did not share them.  so, here's a couple that I particularly like.  As always, if you know who posted/snapped the picture let me know so I can give them credit.  I detest plagiarism!!



heh heh.  I particularly like that last one.  Pot at the end of the rainbow.  Classic!
