Went back to the Cliff swallow nests again today to attempt to try to photograph some. Didn't get many good shots, but I am getting closer to the desired shot...
And of course lots of wild flowers on the top
Day 14 on the Coast to Coast blogged about at ramblingman.org.uk/coasttocoast/coast_to_coast_day_14
Conglomerate cliffs in the foothills of the Wasatch Mnts. This is very young rock, relatively speaking, only 20 million years old. The eroded remnants of the Ancestral Wastach mountains.There were hundreds of wintering deer near here, and cliffs like this make an excellent home for the Cougars that eat them.

Here is a composite from the burst of this shot. It's not all of the frames, but the ones that made it turned out quite nice.

Went back down to the river again this afternoon. It was sunny, rainy, and windy all at once. Pretty epic weather.
