Impromptu Portrait - Carolyn

While stopped in the Wyview parking lot to shoot a rainbow, I realized the lighting was gorgeous. I was lucky to have Carolyn around who humored me with a spontaneous photo shoot in the parking lot.

Photo Walk - This Is The Place Monument

This was a special moment for my friend Carolyn and her brother - their ancestor John Pack is honored in this monument as one of the first LDS pioneers to reach the Salt Lake valley. I recommend visiting this tribute to Utah's history! There are several other monuments and visitors' centers in the vicinity as well - not to mention there's a view from the top of the hill.

Photo Walk - Hogle Zoo

Personal - Home Cooking

Being home means being able to enjoy all of the culinary delights of my mother, whose Korean dishes are the best I've ever had. Just because I'm biased doesn't mean it's not true! One of my all time favorite dishes of hers is something like 탕수육 (tahng soo yook) - it's marinated beef strips coated in a potato starch batter and deep fried. Donkatsu or "bulldog" sauce is the dip of choice, but it can also be served sweet and sour style with veggies. My favorite part of watching my mom cook is being able to "taste test" before dinner ;)

Photo Walk - Pacific Science Center

Some fav frames from the butterfly house at the Pacific Science Center.

Snapshot - Winter Doe

Saw this sneaky bugger while taking a walk - nearly scared me half to death! But she was so gorgeous I stopped to shoot her (not like that). The rest of the photos from my chilly adventure can be found HERE as of tomorrow. But I just loved this photo so much I wanted to share it early.
