Photographed in Sanpete County, Utah.
Newly plowed alfalfa hay fields lay below snow-covered mountains in central Utah. We estimated over two-thousand Mule Deer foraging in these fields over a thirty-mile span of US-89 which runs through the Sanpete valley.
Since settlement(1850s), Sanpete County's economy has been based on agriculture. In its first few decades it served as Utah's granary. Sheep dominated the local economy from the 1880s through the 1920s, and the county played a prominent part in world markets for a time. Turkeys, grown casually as a farmyard animal, became a cooperative, integrated industry in response to the 1930s Great Depression. Today they rule the roost in Sanpete, which ranks among the top ten turkey-producing counties in the country. Sanpete's location at Utah's geographical heart masks its isolation. Much interstate and recreational traffic bypasses it. The small, scattered towns with their long and interesting rivalries have never allowed the development of a dominant county economic center.

I had to go back and reshoot the cherry blossoms. You can tell how much I enjoy the weather getting better. I should not complain this year though. The winter was not at all bad like the last. This time, I did not go very far because the tree in my patio decided to give out some wonderful blossoms. I used a 70-200mm f2.8 lens, Read more...

Insert from "Work without Hope" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Spring is like a perhaps hand
E. E. Cummings - 1894-1962
III
Spring is like a perhaps hand
(which comes carefully
out of Nowhere)arranging
a window,into which people look(while
people stare
arranging and changing placing
carefully there a strange
thing and a known thing here)and
changing everything carefully
spring is like a perhaps
Hand in a window
(carefully to
and fro moving New and
Old things,while
people stare carefully
moving a perhaps
fraction of flower here placing
an inch of air there)and
without breaking anything.
