Preparing for the Sandy City balloon festival, I didn’t expect to see a balloon up this close. When it first hove into view it was 100 yards from the house, and probably only 50 feet off the ground. #SandyUT #balloon

We need the rain here in Sandy, and the partial rainbow was a nice touch. #SandyUT #weather #WasatchFront

The Wasatch Front takes on an eerie appearance in the last rays of the sunset. #sunset #SandyUT #mountainsOfMastodon #iPhonePhotography #WasatchFront

It’s pissing down here in Sandy, but that hasn’t stopped the hummingbirds. The eagle eyed among you will notice that there are no hummers in this picture, just dreary grey with penstemons. The Scottish word is dreich, and it’s perfect. #rain #utah #sandyUT #dreich

It rained on and off all day. Now that it's stopped the local mountains look lovely under a fresh coat of snow. #SandyUT #MountainsOfMastodon #WasatchFront

It rained yesterday, and snowed in the mountains. When it cleared in the early evening I snapped these. The grey sky and the snow covered Wasatch Front is always worth a look. #MountainsOfMastodon #Snow #Spring #SandyUT

I used to be a ski instructor at Snowbird and regularly saw the howitzers, and on occasion we’d hear them down in the valley. The end of an era. #snowSafety #avalanche #SandyUT

The moon hangs out above The Wasatch Front. The picture was taken, from our balcony, looking east. #MountainsOfMastodon #snow #mountains #SandyUT

Taken 7 years ago today, some fairly spectacular alpenglow on The Wasatch Front. Taken from our balcony. #MountainsOfMastodon #Sunset #Alpenglow #SandyUT #iPhone #SilentSunday

This is the Wasatch Front, looking east from our balcony. The second shot looks up Little Cottonwood Canyon, and the reddish rays pick out more peaks. In the third shot the sun's rays pick out the clouds and light them up with shades of pink. #alpenglow #WasatchFront #SandyUT #MountainsOfMastodon #sunset #iPhonePhotography

The Wasatch Front seen from our house this morning. The mountains are under a layer if new snow, the sky is grey, the red leaves of the tree in the centre provide a striking contrast. #fall #winter #changingLeaves #snow #SandyUT

More early season snow from the storm last night. #snow #SandyUT #autumn #fall #winter

Just the usual gorgeous sunrise, looking east up Little Cottonwood Canyon from our balcony. I like seeing the sunrise, but wish they didn't have to be so early ! #sunrise #SandyUT #LittleCottonwoodCanyon

The Wasatch Mountains, seen from our Balcony. The last rays of the sun tinge everything with a reddish glow. The snow from yesterday hangs on, but if it warms up over the next few days that will all melt. #WasatchFront #SandyUT #MountainsOfMastodon

The first snow of this winter fell on The Wasatch today. At our house it just bucketed rain ! #winter #SandyUT #MountainsOfMastodon #snow

The Wasatch Front, changing leaves and a rainbow. #SandyUT #WasatchFront #rainbow #MountainsOfMastodon

If you find yourself in Sandy and want coffee, sourdough bread, pies, or a pastry this locally owned baker is very good. #shopLocal #SandyUT #SLC

The view into a rather gloomy sky taken from our balcony, looking North East from our balcony at The Wasatch Front. The mountains are almost hidden by the clouds, silhouetted trees in the foreground provide some contrast. #mountainsOfMastdodon #TheWasatchFront #SandyUT #greySkies #Photo

May 10th - we just heard the first hummingbird of the year, we have had feeders out for a month. When we finally see one I shall be demanding that it explain the tardiness ! #hummingbirds #SandyUT

Driving home from the offie, stopped at traffic lights. iPhone through my car’s windscreen. East toward the Wasatch Front, with the moon. #SandyUT #MountainsOfMastodon #iPhone #moon

The view from our balcony, looking east toward the Wasatch Front. The valley to the right is Little Cottonwood Canyon. #MountainsOfMastodon #sandyUT #iPhone

It's rather gloomy here this morning. This is the view from my office at home, looking east toward Little Cottonwood Canyon. A solitary crow flies across the frame, in the centre of the lighter patch. #mountains #SandyUT #Utah #mountainsofmastodon

The view from our balcony, looking east toward Little Cottonwood Canyon. It's pretty here. These peaks are a part of The Wasatch Front, and are about 6 miles from us. #SandyUT #mountainsofmastodon #moon

The moon, the mountains, and a vapour trail. Seen from our balcony, looking east toward Little Cottonwood Canyon. #sandyut #mountainsofmastodon

Sunset adds alpenglow. . .

The Wasatch Front, to the east of our house, with the last rays of the setting sun just touching the peaks. #SandyUT #alpenglow #mountainsofmastodon

The Wasatch Front, to the east of us, looks glorious in the last rays of the setting sun. #mountains #TheWasatchFront #SandyUT

The view from my office at home. Pretty, innit ? #sandyut #mountains

It started snowing this morning and Clover and Sprout could not be more pleased. #SproutTheBerner #CloverTheLeonberger #dogsofmastodon #leonberger #BerneseMountainDog #snow #SandyUT

Red leaves, some yellow leaves, some coniferous trees, all set against the new white snow that fell in The Wasatch today. #snow #SandyUT #winter #leaves

The snow is getting closer. . .
