365/365 Salt and Pepper

Thanks for following along with my 365 projet. Today's the last day. This horse of the Onaqui wild horse heard in Utah's West Desert, reminds me of a teenager with hair in their eyes.

363/365 Apples, No Leaves

These are not Christmas ornaments. They are apples still hanging on. No leaves, apples.

The countdown: Today is 3, 2 more to go. Looks like a wild horse safari is on my last day of 2025.

362/365 Lot's Wife?

No. SaltAir was at the south end of the Great Salt Lake. After burning down twice, all that remains are some cement foundations. And wooden pillars that have absorbed the salt from the surrounding mud and water.

361/365 Oakly Diner

I like the bit of nostalgia that neon signs invoke. BTW, it finally snowed.

The countdown: Today is 5, 4 more to go. If you'd like me to remake a picture for the last day, let me know by Tuesday, and I'll see what I can do.

354/365 Still Some Red to be Found

I went up in the mountains to Mountain Dell Reservoir hoping to find a moody picture. But alas, the weather would not cooperate. But wandering around I found there's still splashes of red here and there. This spot should be under a foot or two of snow by now.

352/365 You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch

It's the 19th of December and it was 61 degrees. I think the Grinch's Stealing Christmas included snow, because all we have is rain.

Here are some ornaments from our Christmas tree. It's starting to feel a little like Christmas around the house.

348/365 Outstanding

From yesterday's photo safari: This was kinda surprising, this Christmas tree was in the middle of a field, almost in the middle of nowhere.

347/365 Flatbed Ford

I wonder if this is the Ford Glenn Fry wrote and sang about? "Its a girl, my Lord in a flatbed Ford."

347/365 Ma Jazmin Aburta Rimirez

Another roadside memorial I found over the weekend. This one has a pretty busy background which made it a challenge to photograph. In situations like this, I'll focus on one element. But I felt I needed to capture the whole scene this time.
