Cerect Lake (Secret Lake)

Yesterday after a very rough week, Kraig and I decided to go to on a short hike. We went up to Cecret Lake, it is up towards the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon. The hike to is mostly all uphill, I found out that I am really out of shape. Once we got to the lake though it was really nice. There were a few fmailies there, but over all it wasn't too crowded. Kraig took a ton of pictures, and I took a few. While Kraig was taking pictures I was just sitting relaxing by the lake when I saw some thing that seemed a little odd swimming around in the lake, after looking a little closer Kraig and I saw a ton of salamanders. I was even able to catch one, Kraig took a couple pictures of me holding the salamander, and for those of you wondering, after I had Kraig touch it to feel it, )they feel a little strange, they feel a little rubbery, and almost squishy) I did put it back in the lake.
Here are a few pictures of the lake and me with the Salamander. Kraig should be posting his pictures on his blog eventually, I have no idea when though.

I love wild flowers, so these were just off the trail. I thought it was pretty it looks like a daisy, I wouldn't be suprised to find out it was in the daisy family. So if any one out there knows what this flower is, please let me know.








I don't know if the snow on this mountain is from last winter, or from the storm that came through last week, but I think it is going to be there for a little while.


Here is Kraig playing with his camera.


I like this picture of Kraig






Alright here are pictures of me with the salamander.








This is a cool waterfall that we saw that is just East of the lake.

Random Going On's

It has been a busy couple of weeks. Last Saturday we went to Silver Lake with Kent, Jillyn, Kristy, and the kids. On Sunday we drove to Vernal and spent the night at his Grandma Pope's house. Here are a few pictures of both adventures, it was a lot of fun.

This is the one and only picture I took at Silver Lake.


These Kraig took.




This one I love, I am not really sure why.


This is Lucy, she was really happy to be sitting on Kent's shoulders.



Here are some pictures of Vernal, most of the pictures I took are while we were driving to or from Vernal, so some of them you can really tell were taken from a moving car, sorry.















I thought this was a pretty cool farm house, sorry that I didn't get a better picture, it was just on the side of the highway, so we were moving.




The next two are Starvation Reservoir








These are Strawberry Reservior






This is a picture of a Sandpiper, sorry they are hard to see, they are small birds, and if we had gotten any closer they would have flown a way. They look kind of like a crane, but I guess they aren't.
