Mill Creek Canyon

So we stole away for our Sunday afternoon and wound up in Mill Creek Canyon. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure. :)




Here's a big old tree that lives by the side of the road.





Look how lush the mountainside is!





Some petite little white flowers I found.





I love how many shades of green there are.





And a few yellow flowers to go with the white ones.





A sweet little creek we found near the road.




The edge was a bit slippery... Heh. Good thing I didn't fall in!





There were so many rocks just smothered with that bright green moss!




Sunshine coming through the trees and down the hill.




A teeny tiny little brook I found!




Look how tiny it is! And yet look how lush the vegetation is around it.




And more of the aforementioned creek; higher up, that is.




I found a ledge to lay on overlooking it!




I call him... Fred! And this is Fred's flower. Something tried to eat Fred's wing... =/




We hiked through a field of wild flowers to find this running water!




Here's the field, and here is Ron!




A bit further back, and I almost fell into the water we hiked there to find!




By far my favorite.





I've never seen a sky so clear, except for where the clouds are. ;)




It couldn't have been more beautiful.




Here is Ron showing me exactly how he feels about my camera pointed at him, yet again!




The wildflower field.




I love this picture. This was on a little trail we found and climbed.





Here is one of the few shots I let Ron take when he was able to wrestle the camera out of my hands.





I looooove these white trees! And there's the ring. :)






I love this picture as well. I love the size and depth difference of all the trees.






I was looking at the clouds and Ron decided to be silly.






Just look at those green eyes... Makes me fall in love all over again.







A beautiful rock outcropping mid-way up the hillside.





In the car on the way home!!!




Thus brings us to another end. More another day!!

What A Day..

Today was a fun one, for sure. Ron and I went to pick up the RX-7, and took it for a ride. Granted, the clutch line did break in half and started leaking fluid all over the place... but hey, we got it fixed! We were driving down the road, and Ron starts pumping the clutch.

"This clutch is really loose!"

I look over.

"Uh-oh..."

The fluid was drained and Ron couldn't shift it into gear. Woops!!! We were able to get it to a gas station, buy some brake fluid, and fix the problem, though. We headed back home to see if Ron had a spare clutch line, and... Surprise, surprise!! There was none to be found. By that time, the air had bled out of the clutch, though, so it was tighter than it had been before. He looked over at me.

"Should we still go up the canyons?"

"Uh.... Yeah.."

We drove to Big Cottonwood Canyon, and had an absolute blast! (Poker night had been postponed.) RX-7's handle like a dream. We took some great pictures, too! Here they are!!

Ron REALLY enjoying his new car!


The hillside up Parley's Way. (Ron took a wrong turn...)


The cloudy sky at the mouth of Big Cottonwood.



The sunset on the way to Big Cottonwood.



He said it reminded him of something in the ocean..



Talk about breathtaking.


Er... Damn telephone lines..



Taken while driving!


And look!! A telephone pole!!! Er.. and a pretty sunset.



Just look at those sunrays...



The setting sun, and the purple sky..



Again, taken while driving, but look at the pretty tree!



Looking down into a gulley near the top of the canyon.



Look at this nifty tree!!!



Look at this blurry nifty tree!



Another day closes..



Another night begins...



The quarter moon.




It's trying to hide...

<.<

Hope you enjoyed your trip through the canyon!! Next time will be during the day, so the pictures will be much better. :)
