Thursday, April 14th

Early morning out the back of MaryLou and Fred's home:
Every day has been warm, dry, sunny, and bright:


 This is early morning, but it shows the little squatty waterfall in the back yard which makes such a pleasant,
relaxing sound, and which is especially lulling at bedtime: 

 Today our hike was up into Snow Canyon, through the petrified dunes and
black rock lava cave areas:
 We actually had to traverse and descend these petrified "tubes".
They are immense.  A person would be dwarfed by or lost in the smallest green outcropping here:


 So far our days include a strenuous hike in the first and longest part of the day, followed by a visit to an historic site.
Late this afternoon we visited the Brigham Young home in St. George:

 This view is from the front porch of the Brigham Young home, and the walkway is lined with almond trees, now covered with the  hard, felt-like green casings of almonds:



Also a view from ML's back yard. Sunset on a perfect day!
