Outtake from a professional photo shoot I did for Rocky Mountain ATV a couple of years ago in Dubinky, near Moab, in the South of Utah.

New tile work done!

My Dad just finished installing new tile work in our laundry room and adding some finishing touches to our wood floors (which he also installed) too!

2009 UBBA Baseball State Tournament

Here's an image from last week's 2009 Utah Boys Baseball Association -- UBBA -- Pinto State Tournament at the Manila Ball Park, in Pleasant Grove, Utah. The Lehi Pirates took first place. Blanding Angels, second place. Pleasant Grove A’s -- Athletics --, third place. Pleasant Grove Braves, fourth place.

... and Aspen groves on another part ...

There are Aspen groves on another part of the mountain.

Pine trees on one side ...

There are a lot of pine trees on one side of the mountain ...

I finally completed a round trip around the mountain!

I finally completed a round trip around the mountain, beginning at the bottom of Grove Creek trail, up to Indian Springs, and down the other side of the mountain, at Battle Creek trails, both above Pleasant Grove, Utah.

The trip took me 4 hours and 10 minutes, as I had to walk another 20 minutes from the bottom of Battle Creek to where I had parked my car (at the bottom of Grove Creek!)

Natalia -- black and white headshot

... of course I also wanted to photograph my little Natalia ... and I got a nice headshot (in about 10 minutes total).

Diego - portrait / headshot

Diego just cut his hair and I wanted to get a newer portrait / headshot of him. I like his very short hair cuts!

High up Dry Canyon Trail - Uinta National Forest, Utah

I tried to go from the bottom of Battle Creek Trail, in Pleasant Grove, up to Dry Creek Trail, to Grove Creek Trail, down to Pleasant Grove again on this last trail. It seems I took one wrong turn (on an unmarked trail) and ended up at the top of a different mountain (the "G" mountain). Good thing I had been to the top of said mountain and I knew my way down from there. For some time, however, I was on the East, shadowy side of the mountain, amongst low, thick trees and high grasses, with no trail.

The photo above shows the point where I took the trail I was not expecting to take.

These trails are all in the Uinta National Forest (of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest), comprised of 871,237 acres, located in north central Utah, southeast of Salt Lake City.

Freedom 3v3 Soccer Tournament - Provo, Utah

Day one of the Freedom 3v3 Soccer Tournament in Provo, Utah. It was a great, sunny, beautiful day in Provo, full of awesome "football" (or soccer, as it is called here). Our team, Arsenal FC "RL" -- to be U11 the upcoming season -- did quite well. We lost game one versus "USA" and won our next two games versus Rangers teams. "We" will be playing again tomorrow, July 4th at about noon.

(In the photo, Luis takes the ball, followed by Diego, leaving a Ranger player behind.)
