Deer Valley

Brilliant Quakies
Come winter, these hills will be covered with "the greatest snow on earth," a trademark for Utah and there will be skiers everywhere. For now, nights are cold, mornings are crisp and invigorating, and days are warm and heavenly beneath that deep blue sky.

Everything But Oaks
Fall is my favorite time of year! Too bad this only lasts for a brief two to three weeks here. The air is crisp and clean, nights are cool or cold, and days are warm and inviting in the sunshine and brisk in the shade. It always takes me back to my youth, fishing and hunting and camping with my father and brothers. I miss those times, but cherish those memories!

Strawberry Valley

Fall Quakies
On most "normal" (OK, I know there is no such thing) years, the quaking aspen turn a uniform yellow color before losing all their leaves for the winter. This year was different. The shades of gold and yellow were exquisite. I have watched every year since and still have not seen anything like it.
