I haven't taken pictures in awhile and this was a while back but i decided to take a day for myself and take that urge I always have within me and feed it. So here are some from the mountains, to the prairies and the temple.

I saw this tree a couple of times while passing the temple and thought you poor thing. Just red and all alone, you don't fit in. Then ha I thought psh Mel, who are you talking to, a tree and you are that tree you weirdo.

Trail leading to the back of mount timp.

I seriously just want to go and sit and read in this grove.

I am gonna say this is probably one of my favorite pictures of this season.

Love :)

I like the chaos or the weirdness of this picture. Lisa gets sick when she looks at it.

Here is normal.

The back of Mt. Timp

The 'B' family. They are a friend of my brothers and they wanted family pictures taken, so here they are.

They want to show the different style of shoes and how different everyone was in the family.

Mom and Dad. I love this picture I can say. Just the love in it makes me giggle.

The oldest and youngest with their fohawks.

Ha Ha them being funny, it was hard to capture a serious moment with this family, they are just funny it was great.

The girls and dad

The Family

Colors peeking through the darkness

Mmmhm black and white.

And more Aspens

I really like this picture too, competing with the leaves.

Henna tattoos from the Llama festival down at the yep you guessed it, Hindu temple. I don't know who this chick is but i thought her tattoo on her neck was cool, so i asked and she said yes.

Some weird effigy they were going to burn.

Me getting my tattoo, they last for about 2 weeks. I think that might be the last I get that, just an experience thing I guess I had to do.

Me and my 3 friends and our henna's.

A tower


I always think its cool when these guys dance, but not for 3 hours.

Now for some pictures of flowers and peacock feathers with amazing bokeh in it.







My singles ward had a pinewood derby and that is one of the pictures.

We had a ward trip up to one of the bishoprics cabins up in Wyoming. It was amazing I can say. Don't worry the guys slept outside in tents and the girls slept inside. I slept in a closet.

Ha this kid cracks me up, we had a collison when we were playing ultimate Frisbee, yeah ha people said I looked like raggedy Ann.

Periodic springs, this is a underground glacier that we hiked to that turns on and off every 15 mins. Its crazy. We didn't see it happen but it just shows up out of no where.


The water is really that blue, it was beautiful.

I love this picture. It just makes me want to go somewhere and call it home.

Ha ha in this picture I was twirling around singing the hills are alive with the sound of music. No joke, man I love that movie.

Me and Nessa out in the wilderness with no make up, its the best. Try it sometime, its good for your skin and your health.

AHH the kubota. This thing likes to stall on you. You are in the middle of a field it stops. In the middle of a steep hill, it stops. And don't worry it rolls backwards too, yep experienced the last one for myself.

Waiting for breakfeast and not wanting my picture taken.

Driving the Kubota with my ring pop, to dinner.

The view from my picnic area. Yep I frolcked in the fields, and trust me I will do it again. Girls yeah you know who I am talking to ha I will do it again!!

Nessa and Krista eating the sandwhiches.

Me in the back of Curtis's car, and it started to rain.

It ruined everything for our perfect picnic and having the convertable part down. But we kept going.

All in all it was an awesome few months. Hope you guys enjoyed the pictures.
