Nature calls

Sometimes when I am working up in these cabins up in and around Park City, I'll stop in the river and just relax for a little bit.  I started walking in the river wanting to just lay down in it but the water was freezing.  It was definitely snow melt off.  I could only last about a minute.  So, I just layed down by the river and took a nap for a half hour and then enjoyed the peace of being in the middle of nowhere.  This is part of the Weber river in the Weber Canyon up in Oakley

I was driving in the Wolf Creek subdivision east of Heber, and I saw a big herd of elk.  I just thought it was neat, so I stopped and took a few pictures.  I swear I need to take a good camera with me to work as opposed to the phone camera.  I think I counted around 35 to 40 elk in this herd.  Pretty cool!  I love the sounds they make, too.  Every time I tried to get close they would run off.

This isn't something you see too often in the United States.  I took this picture of these few sheep in the road after I had already driven through roughly 100 sheep before these last stragglers up the road.  I literally had to stop and swerve around these sheep.  I thought I was in Jerusalem for a minute.
