My Work...Errr, Weather Station


This week's photo prompt from the Outdoor Blogger Network (OBN) is the following question:  "So lets see those Outdoor Blog Work Stations. Do you have an Outdoor view from your computer?"  Oh, I most certainly do!  You see, my family room window looks right out at the Little Cottonwood Canyon in Salt Lake City, Ut.  Nothing could be more perfect for me, as I am an avid skier and fly fisher.  All I have to do is look up the canyon and check out the forcast of the day! (as you can see in the pic...it's a perfect fishing day)  My computer is looking at this beautiful Wasatch mountain range where ten minutes up that canyon are Alta and Snowbird ski resorts...ya, not too bad.  And beyond the canyon, on the other side of the mountain are the Weber and Provo Rivers...AHHH!!!  I also have a gorgeous flag to look at from the elementary school behind the house.  A perfect workstation location, but a little hard to work sometimes, if you know what I mean...See ya, I'm heading out!

  1. What a wonderful view to enjoy while doing your bloggin' work or anything else for that matter! As I'm sitting here typing, I can't help but think of how great it must be to watch the seasons change from that point of view also. I bet it's amazing!

    Enjoy your day and your wonderful view! (but I bet that goes without saying!)

  4. Justin ~ I don't know...a river is always good to look at...near or far! If I lived next to one, I am afraid that I wouldn't get anything else done though. ;)

  14. That is every bit as beautiful as the Island Park area. Now, I will await your post on Island Park. I would be too distracted to most anything, but, just get outside and head up the canyon.
