Soak in these pictures of calm water and awesome rocks!
We went to Flaming Gorge for a 3 day weekend with3 of the 4 boys, daughter in law, and 2 grandsons.
The fishermen all caught fish and we feasted on Kokanee, which is a fresh water salmon.
Do you see the determined tree in the picture above?
Here it is in a closer view:
And... here is boatin' Annie.
Annie did real well for her first boat and camping trip, although she tried to jump overboard a couple of times - so I had to put a life jacket on her. We showed her how COLD the water is this time of year too... so hopefully she will get her doggie sense about her and stay in the boat on trips. Blue used to drop his ball overboard and we'd have to circle around and net it up. He liked that game! Here is the link to last years trip.
We had a great time and looking forward to next years trip!
Annie looks so cute in her life jacket. That gorge is really awesome looking.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery, CAT, and such blue, blue skies! Annie's a doll!
ReplyDeleteThat determined tree is something I saw in the red rocks at Sedona Arizona! I marvel at their determination to make their mark on the earth! I can see that Annie has the same determination!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to get away to such peaceful and serene outings!
How I remember Blue! :)NG

Beautiful photo's,and Annie - love that tree- how long will it survive I wonder.
ReplyDeleteFelt like I could almost hear the water as the boat bobs up and down when it's stopped and you are just floating out in the middle of nowhere....
ReplyDeleteFresh salmon ! You're killing me.
Can you believe that TREE ?

"In 1869, John Wesley Powell and nine men boarded small wooden boats at Green River, Wyoming to explore the Green and Colorado Rivers. When they saw the reflection of the brilliant sunlight on the red rocks, they decided to name the area Flaming Gorge."

Oh how fun! I had forgotten how beautiful it truly is there. Annie is a doll in her jacket!
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by, I was getting lonely! Nature finds away, the tree standing alone is really a statement to life. It's like the weeds that come through the sidewalks, or the one stand alone flower where you would think nothing could grow.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, Mary
What beautiful pictures.Sounds like everyone had a great time. Our daughter is still up here from the Keys, we get them for one more week. Annie is just toooo cute!
ReplyDeleteWow Cat!
ReplyDeleteYou had some fun! I think it is so great how you look at life! Tell your family "HI from the Stephens!"
Take Care, Wendy
Gorgeous pics! What fun. Annie is just tooo cute... in her element for sure. Yay - glad it went well for her.
ReplyDeleteThat is just the cutest picture.. and it's funny that Blue use to throw the ball over board and wait for you to get it....I can't believe that they have life jackets for dogs...of course why not they have dresses, bows etc.. your pictures of the gorge are beautiful....the water looks so crystal clear...
