Tracy Aviary in Liberty is Really for the Birds and a Camera

Mom and I spent a couple of pleasant hours admiring the birds in the Tracy Aviary. This bird portion was in the original Hogle Zoo when I was living with grandmother Sanders just a block east of Liberty Park on 8th East. The zoo animals were later moved to its present location. Tracy is a marvelous collection of lovely avian friends of every color, size and shape. Take all of your little ones for a fun experience.

I am really trying to tighten down some  loose brain cells with all of these computer and camera tactics. Thanks to my tutor Katherine. If you want to see a lovely journal please make a request and will I ask her for permission to send her address. Pictures and her writings will be bound into an annual volume. What a great idea for family record keeping!

Utah State Fair was Fair

Okay. For practice I need to deposit some of the functions more firmly in my memory bank. I hope to send a few pictures of our visit to State Fair last afternoon. Fair seems to also describe the quality. Appears to coming more carnival and commercial than exhibits and animals. County Fairs retain much of the old flavor. Perhaps I am too judgemental. Most interesting was sit on the sidelines and people-watch. I did take shots of a number of "Best in the Category" so you can see how the really creative folks create. As we observed the winners and apparent loosers it was not always readily apparent why one was selected.. I would not be a good judge, I suppose.

I took a number of random pictures.  Notice the two elderlies which may possibly have been the oldest exhibit at the Fair. I have always been interested in the sculpturing of the life-size cows on a "date" in an ice cream parlor. The write-up indicated that 700 pounds of butter was required for the creation. They are in a frosty display area.

Well, here goes Blogger Dad.  If you have mountains within your view cast both eyeballs unto the tops thereof and be enchanted with the colors fighting for possession of the valleys and peaks. Quite suddenly, it is gorgeous fall and the beautiful greens are retreating from the fray. (Be sure to recover your eyeballs.) Mom and I drove to Aspen Grove  and  were ahhing and  oohing and pixing. This is what our camera saw. The sunlight kept changing to provide a wee challenge.  Love, dadgdadggdad and momgmomggmom  If this works, praise  Katherine. If it doesn't work blame Rochester and Saffy for no good reason at all.
