Baby snake curled up in a hole on the vertical face of a rock, directly over the river. I couldn't figure out how he got there. 
This is a little squirrel that we have been feeding peanuts to in our backyard in Chubbuck. I took this photo of Stubby on our back porch Tuesday June 9, 2009. He got his name because he has a hurt paw that he is unable to use.
This is a photo of an old school house shot near Bancroft ID. I had a chance to run in to an old farmer that was working the field next to it to get the history. The emotion was remarkable.
Shot with a polarizer... 
I took this photo at the Blackfoot Fair of my grandaughter Ember Rose. I was surprised it came out so well as the ride was moving fairly fast.
While riding mountain bikes on the Clark's trail in Draper Utah, I had to stop and take this picture.
