Yesterday Was My Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday. I don’t normally toot my own horn about my birthday. But, this year, when I woke up and started to get ready to go to work, I looked outside and it was snowing! I have never lived in a place where there was much snow, ever. I grew up and lived in Georgia for the first 48 years of my life. So to look outside and see snow on May 24^th, well, that is just different for me.

When I got to the office, my first task for the day was to drive down to Jacob Lake to take some stuff down there. So, I went home and got my camera.

Here is a picture I took out the front windshield of the truck I was driving:

Hooooo Wheeeeee! Now that is some snow!

Here are a couple more pics:

I love the little patch of blue sky showing through the snow clouds in this pic.

The reflection on this meadow lake sure does make it look more like mid-winter than soon to be summer.

This is the entrance station to the Grand Canyon, on May 24th, the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend, 2008. It is where I work. Even with the snow, I still love it here.
