this is our island in a desert {part one}

a week ago we spent a fantastic afternoon on antelope island

with our friend {and profesh photographer} matt turley.

you should have seen how many cameras we packed

in the back of matt's wagon...we were all giddy for sure.

matt was kind enough to answer our questions and

let us play with cameras we'd have to sell our first-born to have.

antelope island was beautiful for us:

storm clouds, fluffy cumulus clouds, jade-colored water,

green hills, red/orange rocks, and a strong wind to keep the bugs away.

was wishing the water was friendly to swimmers...

i guess it is "friendly" as long as you're able to put

up with a salt concentration that will keep you floating

and keep you sticky for one whole week afterwards.

anyway, am hoping for more days like this:

ceej, good friends, and lots of photography going on.
