New Photographs Soon**UPDATE NEW PICS NOW* CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK, UTAH

So tomorrow and Sunday my husband, sis-in-law and I are going to Capitol Reef National Park. I am very excited, we had originally wanted to go to Moab to visit Arches National Park, but all the lodging was booked up. So it will be Capitol Reef this weekend instead! :) I hope to get some great shots of the area. More next week!! :)

*UPDATE*

Here are the long awaited Photographs I promoised of Capitol Reef National Park! Out of all the hikes we went on I enjoyed the Hickman Bridge trail the most.

Enjoy Looking!

PhotoArt Collection

Every picture of my PhotoArt, except Tribal Dance, was first taken as a photograph of Christmas lights, with the camera in motion. I then used Photoshop and swirled, moved and distorted the photograph. The photoart Tribal Dance is one of my 2nd Beach photographs, distorted.

Landscape, Ensign Peak Utah Collection

Recently my husband and I decided to take the trail up to Ensign Peak, in Salt Lake City Utah. The sun was out, there was a slight breeze to the air, it was a nice day for a small hike. This is a steep hike, but once you reach the top the views of the Mountains, the Valley and the Great Salt Lake are breathtaking. -Karen

Landscape, Eagle Creek Oregon & Eagle Fern Park Collection

My husband and I recently moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, we have lived near Sandy, Oregon. Since I grew up there, I knew I would miss the area and there were a few places I wanted to photograph before we left. All of these photographs I took except the photograph of Mt. Hood are taken at or near Eagle Fern Park, in Eagle Creek Oregon. The photograph of Mt. Hood was taken near Boring, Oregon. -Karen
