What gorgeous photos! And it's good to see Nin and Mum again. :) Is it spring there yet?

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

It's trying for spring :) We're still down in the low 30s at night.

It looks very beautiful, but very cold! :D

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

It actually was quite nice. The wind at the end of the park was really cold, but for the most part, we wore sweaters.

Lovely :) I did glare at the squirrel pictures though :)

Want to see you, Nin, and Mum again!

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

[HUGS] Wants to see you again too [HUGS] Miss my TamTam.

Weeellll, I was contemplating letting me be your birthday present :) Depending on everything in the world, of course :)

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Seriously?!?!? SQUEEE! Will keep fingers crossed. You do realize it's really hot here in July, right? Not that we don't have air conditioning :)

[otterevil.livejournal.com]

That was what I was wondering - whether I should wait until fall. But I'll also (hopefully) be better able to tolerate the heat health-wise by then too.

From what the tax lady said, it sounds like I should be getting a nice refund that sounds like it would pay for everything, maybe even a couple of nights in Vegas (plus the stimulus thingie too).

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Stimulus thingie?

Honestly, I don't know what your hear tolerance would be like. Don't know what *mine* is going to be like :) July/August is the hottest. So fall might be better and you could get outside a bit more.

[otterevil.livejournal.com]

The stimulus check - I think I'm supposed to get one this year - it's $250.

Hmmm, so maybe I can be a belated present :)

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Didn't realize they were doing those again this year.

Belated is good :)

A bit smaller than last year - which tax lady thinks she may can still get me(yeah tax lady!) (I budgeted enough of my back pay from SS to cover all the home improvement stuff - even with the extra squirrel damage - so any extra I get is fun money ::g::)

Annoying cousin is eagerly anticipating hers ::insert vomiting icon::

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

When are they supposed to be sent out? Will help me remain gainfully unemployed a wee bit longer :)

[otterevil.livejournal.com]

Sometime in May. :)

Will you be able to withstand the anticipation? ::snerk::

Yes, I'm being mean, but annoying cousin is annoying :)

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

The anticipation of the money or your visit? [snerk]

[otterevil.livejournal.com]

I was thinking more of the money :)

Because I *know* you'll fret yourself silly over the visit ::snerk::

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Want you to visit!! You can have Nin's room, and she can sleep in my room. Will motivate her to clean out her closet [weg]

[otterevil.livejournal.com]

ROFL!!!

[anya2112.livejournal.com]

Those are just lovely! Glad ya'll had a good time!

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I viewed them as a slide show. Very nice. I notice some green trying to peek out from all that winter foliage.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Yep, the green is fighting its way out!

[some-day-soling.livejournal.com]

Wow! Those are gorgeous. Looks like a wonderful afternoon.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

We had a nice day :)

[lilliew.livejournal.com]

That's one place I've always wanted to visit. Great pics.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

It's very pretty!

[sophiedb.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous!

Way back when I did a coach trip across the US, Zion was on the itinerary. I am still pissed off with the bus itself, which broke down in southern Utah, so instead of more sightseeing we spent a day kicking dust about in a tiny hamlet *pout*

Suppose I'll just have to try again someday :)

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Well, when you finally make it, I'll give you the personalized tour [g]

[arhyalon.livejournal.com]

Lovely!

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

[blade-and-roses.livejournal.com]

OMG those are gorgeous! The colors of the stone are just amazing.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

It really is amazing colouring.

[fkastrider.livejournal.com]

Lovely pictures. Wish I was there. Wish I had gotten into the canyon when we were passing through on our way back from California back in 1969.

If I remember rightly, the reason we didn't traipse down the canyon is because I had been (bad food) sick on the trip home.

[fkastrider.livejournal.com]

I hope TamTam is up to a walkabout when she visits you.

[fkastrider.livejournal.com]

By the way, what are those "artifacts" on zion11 and zion12? Was it raining for a time during your walk?

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Just like the description said, it was the backside of water [g] You actually go in behind the waterfall. Though it isn't an actual waterfall, it's water seeping from inside the rock. It's called Weeping Rock.
