I think this month has been one of my most inactive months ever for taking pictures, let alone even posting them. I have been to busy this month to get out and take some shots. With the sun going down at 5ish that leaves me little time to do anything since if I work at 7am then I don’t leave work until 5! We have been to a few Xmas parties and taken some random shots at those, but nothing exciting really. Plus being sick on the couch for a few days didn’t help me at all either. I just can’t wait for Xmas to come and go so we can get into New Years, since we will be starting it right this time. In MOAB! What better place to be? Well it will be cold though! But sure does make for some fun winter shots.

So I have been thinking about doing another Picture a Day project for next year, just to keep things excited and make myself take pictures. I started doing that in 2004 and I never missed a single day…….take a look for yourself! http://www.pbase.com/wes242/picture_a_day
It was time consuming sometimes just looking for a “Photo” and not a “Snapshot” but it sure was fun and took me to many new places I haven’t been before. Even Markai has thought about joining me on this too! I think it could be a fun idea!

Today we have the day off and not much to do, FINALLY!!, and we have been wanting to get out and take some snow pictures. Well there is a bunch of new snow so I guess we better get out and get too it! Thinking of taking our snowboards up the mountains to have some fun. Or go find some Eagles, since this time of year they seem to hang around here. Either way we better get cracking!

It has been a slow couple of weeks doing nothing but working, that isn’t fun when the holidays are here. But Markai and I did get out the other day to enjoy the nice weather and to test out our new shoes. The Vibram Five Finger. Now you might ask yourself “what the do shoes have to do wtih fingers?” Well these are more like gloves for your feet, so it gives you that more natural felling of walking, but protects your feet more then just your socks. After months of looking at these things we finally dropped the $80 to pick up the KSO model. These are made to do hiking and running in and that is why we got them. So the other day up Diamond Fork Canyon we went to a place full of little trails and red slickrock. I will admit I did expect a little more out of them, but these are not the same as every other shoes I have owned and gotten used to. Up through the trees, sand and up the slickrock we went. These are very flexible and move even with your toes. The grip is pretty good as I tested some steep flat sections.
Overall we like these so far and can’t wait to get down south to give them a good test out on some hikes. We will see how that works out.
The do work nicely on the Wii fit too! I wear them and they let you do all the stuff you need to do, and they don’t hurt the Fit.
Here’s the pictures…
