Busy day today for me here at Lake Walcott State Park in Idaho, where I’m campground host for the summer.

I’ve been here for a month now, although my blog has still been dawdling along on my trip from Texas to get here, and will for another couple of days at least.

Today I head into town, 25 miles away, for one of my twice monthly visits. I need to do grocery shopping, laundry, get a haircut, and of course, buy my canine traveling companion, Pepper, a treat.

But before I go, I thought I would share a couple of my favorite water pictures from Zion National Park. Enjoy.

That first photo is so perfect, it is almost unbelievable. What a lovely painting it would make, those colors on the cliff and the green of the water.

Gorgeous photos. Pat, what type of camera do you use?

  Thanks Darla. A canon power shot pocket point and shoot. I’m really not a photographer, the camera does all the work.

    But that camera has to be pointing at something. You have a good eye for great shots!

  Thanks. it’s hard not to take a great picture in Zion. I use a Canon Power Shot digital that has a nice zoom. It’s a point and shoot pocket camera
