Winter and waiting for winter. . .

That’s pretty much what the seasons in Park City are. Well, there are LOTS of people here in the summer, but Park City and the environs (meaning the mountains around Salt Lake City) are all about snow and skiing and snowboarding. Just around our timeshare (Marriott Mountainside) there are about a dozen ski shops. A couple are open with bicycles for rent, but most are shuttered, waiting for the snow to start.

We aren’t doing any hiking as Randy’s knee is still bothering him (Ace bandages and ice every day) so we have wandered a bit around the art galleries in Park City and gone for drives in the mountains when the weather is good—which has been most of the time.

So, not much to write about, I'll just post some of the pictures I’ve taken.

Our picnic lunch site.

But with a warning!

And a nice little stream running through it.

A thistle and friend

I love these thistles and they are everywhere in the mountains around Park City.

More thistles and more friends.

Ditto.

Among the beautiful mountains, all is not well. This little lake, Silver Lake, is WAY below its full level.

Another lake, actually a reservoir, is down, just not as much as Silver Lake.
