EDP Weekend Report: David Archuleta

David Archuleta at the Real Salt Lake Match this past Saturday night.

If you are scratching your head and asking yourself... Who? You are not alone. I am not a fan of reality show's and American Idol is certainly one of my least favorites so it is no small wonder why I did not know who he is.

Apparently he is from Salt Lake City. He seemed a nice enough kid.

EDP Weekend Report: USAF Thunderbirds

I am not sure I mentioned how much I love Air Shows. Especially Air Shows that feature the US Air Force Thunderbirds and the US Navy Blue Angels.
At age 6 I saw my first Air Show, it featured the Blue Angels in Aberdeen, Maryland and being prior Navy I tend to have a preference for the Blue Angels. Since I live in a land locked state that has an Air Force Base I have actually seen the Thunderbirds about half a dozen more times.

This Weekend I went to Ogden, Utah to see the show at Hill Air Force Base.

The demonstration was interrupted briefly by a thunderstorm but otherwise went off without a hitch.

I will be travelling to Reno in September to see the Blue Angels, in the meantime check out a couple shots from the Thunderbirds show.

More Post Storm Skies

After the Storm

I saw this on the drive to Salt Lake on Monday.
There have been several massive storms roll through North Eastern Nevada over the past week.
The kind of turbulent sky created by the storms is quite impressive.
I hope you enjoy them.

Safety Switch!

On my way home yesterday I happened across this scene.

Police keep curious onlookers (like me) away...

The patient continues on.



My hat is off to the men and women that make up First Responder teams like this.
They make being a hero part of the job description.

Pelicans at Wildhorse Reservoir

On a normal day this shot would not have made the cut because the Pelican is flying away from me.
But the colors make this my favorite shot from yesterday at Wildhorse Reservoir.

Metaphor: The Tree of Life

Modern Art in the middle of the Salt Flats. This huge sculpture along I-80 between Elko and Salt Lake City, was a featured stop on the reality show "The Amazing Race". Since the show aired there have been so many visitors to it that a fence has been erected around the base to keep people off of it.

Luckily this picture was taken before the fence went up... It truly is an eyesore now.
