I did NOT appreciate the scenery when I lived in Provo*.

me and stella at aspen grove, just up the street from my parents' house
thanks for the picture, les.

It's gorgeous there.
Seriously, look at that mountain!
We had a wonderful time.
Even though Mabel had plans to enroll in school there so we could stay forever,
it is good to be home.

*I lived in Provo for six years while Mike and I attended the BYU. Sadly, I don't think I ever really noticed those humongous mountains. Maybe it is this life in the desert that has given me a better appreciation for it all. Either that, or I am just older and way more mature. :)

  4. I think the same thing every time we visit Utah. And Utah County in particular is so much more pretty than Salt Lake County; I definitely did not appreciate it during my years in Provo either. Well, Aaron & I hiked to the top of Mt. Timp so I got a pretty good dose of mountain-appreciation then!

  6. I agree with you on this one! I have rushed out of my house and taken so many pictures of Timpanogos at sunrise, sunset, with snow, with clouds...I love these mountains. But I still miss my Mesa mountains. I grew up on a dairy fairly close to Red Mountain and a shot of the Superstitions will always make me cry!

  8. I think you have to move away to fully appreciate Utah. When I looked at Leslie's pictures I thought, "Wow- that's gorgeous." But I still hate living here!
