Not all heroes wear capes.

Our power went out last night due to a pad mounted transformer failure.  Cable repair showed up an hour later and got to work.  I think they had the entire transformer swapped and back online within 25 minutes!

3 trucks!

Everyone knew what they were doing.

Mustang.

Spotted in Ogden on 25th Street 2 weeks ago.

Top of Butterfield Canyon trail.

The day after Skyler left for Pennsylvania, Altair and I headed to the mountains to distract us from worrying about him.  As always, Butterfield didn't disappoint!

Home.

Skyler made it home safe and sound last night after 10 days in Pennsylvania at "Hawk Mountain Ranger School."

 He was in the advanced ranger course.

What an opportunity!

There is hope for our future!  A bunch of great humans.

Eccles Wildlife Center.

On July 5th, we ventured north to see what the Center looks like in summer.

He was reluctant to go, but turned into quite the explorer by the time we were ready to leave.

Radar dome in the distance.

We had the place to ourselves.

Bullfrog tadpole.

White breasted Ibis.  He's not white in summer we were told.

Mill pond calm.

Surprisingly, no mosquitoes!

Flight path.

Fire fighting helicopter.

Like the B-29 carrying the X-1!

The ranger said ospreys are rare here in summer.

Fish getting a sightseeing tour.

And is showing it off.

Osprey has a fish.

Frog eggs.

Turtle!

Skyler using "dual vision" with the binoculars.

We took advantage of the cool 84 degree day.

Trail looks a bit different in summer.

Green!

Herron nesting poles and a fire in the distance.
