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

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

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!

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

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 :)

[identity profile] otterevil.livejournal.com 2009-04-02 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
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).

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.

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 :)

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::

When are they supposed to be sent out? Will help me remain gainfully unemployed a wee bit longer :)
ext_25476: (Default)

[identity profile] otterevil.livejournal.com 2009-04-02 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Sometime in May. :)

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

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

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

[identity profile] otterevil.livejournal.com 2009-04-02 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
I was thinking more of the money :)

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

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]

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

Yep, the green is fighting its way out!

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

It's very pretty!

[identity profile] sophiedb.livejournal.com 2009-04-02 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
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 :)

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

It really is amazing colouring.

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.

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

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

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.
