UTAH...oh gorgeous Utah! Everywhere one goes here, there is beauty all around.These pictures are from one end of the state to the other end. I got them off a local TV
station, they are submitted by people from all over our state....I hope you enjoy them!
We have many of these guys around where I live!
And many of these...
Zion is so full of beauty!
What do you spy with your little eye? I see a cougar in a tree!There are many of these guys around here too!
And these, we have to be very careful as wehead over the mountain to Walmart! lol
This is called, "The Promised Land"....Zion's
St. George with snow, in the summer it getsup to 11o there and is covered with palm trees!
The St. George Temple
"Queen's Garden"
"Thor's Hammer"
Oh, how I love the red rock that surrounds me with a bit of snow!
Devil's Garden
Snuggling for warmth
The Organ
Balanced Rock
Barn and Timpanogas
Frozen pines
Many buffalo in this state.
Beautiful hawk, I just love to see them.
Herd of elk, they are all over here.Right here where I live we don't have a lot of snow yet, we seem to get ours in Jan. and Feb. Last year we didn't even get a spring, it just went right into summer and then our summer was so rainy nearly everyday we got rain. I am so hoping for a better deal this year!
Stay warm and cozy where ever you are!

Oh Julie, I've always loved Utah and these are fabulous photos showing its beauty. I'm so happy we have kiddos and "grands" living there so we can visit and enjoy your home state.
I so love Zion and Bryce! I thought Bryce Canyon NP was so pretty and the beauty of it touched me more than the Grand Canyon. My Mom and Dad went cross country twice in the 1980s. They loved Utah and its National Parks and took many wonderful videos of it.
Thank you for sharing beautiful Utah! I can relate to the pictures with the Deer. My Dad has them all around his back yard, it's so fun to visit it the winter. My kids love it!
Have a beautiful week!
Julie -- these are really wonderful pics of our state! I did hear about the snow in St. George recently -- it wasn't just a dusting either. Thanks for the eye candy. Joni
Gorgeous pictures! Thanks for sharing.
It just looks beautiful there. I hope someday we can visit that area. So you really have cougars walking around? Do you see them from your home? I would find that a little unsettling but still I would love to see them. Thanks for dropping by Julie and I hope your wrist is improving. Hugs, Deb=^..^=x5
Julie, the photos of Utah are breathtaking. wow...your homestate is absolutely beautiful with the ranges, the wildlife, the sky views..and the buildings. Thank you for sharing it all with us. I enjoyed seeing such beauty. Enjoyed visiting Utah today, and i wanted to say that I saw your little button to the right. I too, love Robert Duncan. His snowy print, "An April Storm" hangs in my family room and is a FAVORITE of mine. :-) :-)...LIKE his works.
Another similarity between us. :-)
Hugs to you dear bloggy sister. Enjoy the wintry beauty as you ENDURE the cold...Got snow and ice surrounding us here in NC!
Gorgeous!!!!!! :)These beautiful photos make me miss Utah! The land of my birth, and childhood vacations...:)
YOU are one very blessed lady to live surrounded by all of this beauty!!
Enjoy my friend!
XOXO Gloria
Wow! Those photos are breath taking! I love the deer but not so sure I'd enjoy looking at a cougar in my tree! lol The mountains are gorgeous.
Beautiful pictures, Julie! We have never lived in Utah but have toured the state on two different occasions. Once while we were stationed in Colorado and again while we were stationed in Arizona. It is a beautiful state...I do miss living in the west and all that beauty and the big, big skies.
Hope you are having a wonderful week and letting your hands rest a little.
Fondly,
Ann

We certainly do live in a beautiful state. Gorgeous pictures Julie! Mimi
Hi Julie, Your home and its surroundings are spectacular. Such a variety of terrain and wildlife. My hubby and brother drove through your state this past year and I frequently share your blog photos with them. We all enjoy your photos very much. Hope your wrist is feeling much better. Take care.
Loved them all, thank you so much for sharing them with us. You are just one lucky lady!
Utah is hands down the most beautiful state I have ever lived in. I remember it well even though I ws just a young child.
GORGEOUS photos Julie! :)
Beautiful there!
Such majestic mountains and the colour!!
Beautiful shots you have brought here...
Thanks for sharing Julie xo

Beautiful pictures Julie. I especially love when the red rocks have snow.
Stay warm!
Loved all of the photos of your beautiful state Julie. Hope you get your snow this season.
Hugs,
Sue
Julie! Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful photos. I love Utah. Sergio & I spent our Honeymoon at Park City (we brought our best friends with us to enjoy the skiing). It is a beautiful state kissed by angels.
Gorgeous photos. Thanks for sharing, Julie.
Loved every pic, julie! Give us more!!!!
We are snowed in here-9 inches. They just have the equipment to move it here!
Stay warm :)
xo, misha
My husband considers Moab the Celestial Kingdom. He loves that place and visits it regularly with his bike.
Great post!!
I marvel EVERY day at the beauty that is all around us here! I especially love the frozen pines picture and the adorable one of the deer sneaking a snack from the graveyard wreath ... so cute!!!
I love Utah! IT's a state where one can enjoy EVERY kind of weather and scenery! Those are great pictures!
Such beautiful pictures of your state. Can't say I have a favorite as all were pretty. I do like the deer ones.
Hi Julie!
Oh, how I love Utah too! I live in Idaho, but have many, many ties to Utah. I love the canyons, the beauty of the red rock is just magnificent, especially with the white snow and ultra-blue sky!
My family, like many in Utah, were pioneers - can you only imagine what they thought when they saw such beauty?! Thank you for sharing - just beautiful!
Blessings,
Barb
Wow, Julie! Those are beautiful pictures of some magnificent views!! Amazing. I love those two deer (or elk) snuggled together in the snow! You are rightfully proud of your beautiful state! Thank you for the tour. =) Tanna
Gorgeous pictures. I could look at them all day.
Those pix are so gorgeous. I love the snowy pine tree one!
Beautiful! It is so fun to see scenery that is so different from where you live. Thank you for sharing Utah with me.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Blessings,
Lorilee
Oh Julie,
How stunning! Such beatufiul photos, and I love them all but the cougar in the tree and the frozen pines are two of my favorite! Just beautiful country, isn't it?
thanks dearie...
Julie, I truly can not imagine living in such beauty. My husband always talks about how beautiful Utah is - he travels there on business. I will have to go.
it is beautiful isnt it? This summer I am going to do way more exploring and get to see more of my new home.......
Gorgeous photos! Thanks for posting those, Utah is such a beautiful place!
Utah is beautiful year 'round. We lived in Grand Junction, CO in the late 80's and early 90's. We were members of a church in Cortez, CO ...about four hours away by car. To avoid the high passes, our route took us through Moab, UT where we would stop for breakfast and the kids would change into their church clothes. We got to church around 10am, stayed for lunch and were home around 6pm on Sundays. Those were blessed times for my family. The scenery on the drive was magnificent. Utah is beautiful place in any season.
These are SO beautiful!
One of these days I want to visit Utah. Oh, and I wish my drive to Walmart looked like yours! :)
Beautiful photos of your Utah and the wildlife. Are you familiar with your Utah artist, Kathryn Stats? If not, you should Google her. I love her work, and she paints Utah landscapes all the time. She's an amazing artist! My friend went to one of her workshops - perhaps I'll get to go one of these days! Greenhouse Gallery in Dallas sells her work around our area. Anyway, you'll love her work, too! Have a wonderful week, sweet lady!
We do live in a beautful state don't we. We've had both elk and deer in our hay stacks. The Mr had to get his fence back up. It's like having heard of cows tromple it....But I worry for them,(elk and deer) there is a lot of winter left yet. ( I also think about that cougar that's around) Bitter cold here still.
You stay warm and cozy too.
Mercy
Such beautiful pictures Julie! Thanks so much for sharing them with us. We don't get a lot of snow over here, but when we do it paralyses the country! I was to Utah two winters ago. It was cold, cold, COLD, but very beautiful! xxoo
I have been to your beautiful state and, you're right...beauty all around.
Such beauty! Incredible scenery and the wildlife....love that herd of Elk. xo
WONDERFUL photos.
I am NOT FOND of coyotes. We have LOTS, and LOTS of them. NOT PRETTY like the one in your photo. They are wiry and mangy looking. They come up to our house to try to eat our kitties! VERY scary!
Julie, you truly live in an amazing place!! The scenery and animals are breathtaking! (Especially the cougar in the tree~ YIKES! *LOL*)
Oh my! I am on my way...with my camera;)! What glorious beauty! You are very blessed to live in such a magical state!
What gorgeous pictures!! They are just breathtaking! Thank you for sharing them with us all.
Congratulations to your grandson on his baptism!
So glad you found Bob! You saved his life for sure and now he has a forever home!!!
That cookie recipe is to die for so I will be printing it off as soon as I finish this comment. Thanks!!
Wow, what amazing pictures!! I love UT..I'm lost without my mountains!
Those are all GORGEOUS pictures!!! I would love to visit Utah sometime. Hope you are staying warm.♥
Oh my goodness, Julie! this is like a vacation ad for Utah!
It's very, very inviting ~ who wouldn't love to go visit!

Hi my friend !
Could you do me a favor ?
Talking about it on my blog.
I am a finalist to the Winter Wonderland on Chictopia and it is SO a surprise !
Could you vote for me on Facebook and tell your friends to vote too.
My outfit is modest. I wear leggings and it would mean so much to me because there is not a lot of girl out there in the fashion world who wear modest clothes. I am one of the few on Chictopia!
Hugs

I just loved those photos...they are all so beautiful. Several times while traveling through Utah we've almost hit (or been hit by) a deer or two crossing the road...and Zion is beautiful!!
I hope you're doing better with your carpel tunnel my friend. You're in my prayers.
Blessings,
Marcia

Your photos are just beautiful. I remember several years ago when my mom and her sister and I came out to visit another sister. I enjoyed the scenery that we saw. She lives around Salt Lake, is that anywhere near you?
Thank you so much for sharin' these beautiful pictures today. They are all so very awesome.
The rock formations remind me of the stuff the Roadrunner cartoon is made of. Beep~beep!!!
God bless ya and have a marvelous week sweetie!!!
Julie, phenomenal photos. I am in awe of the stone behind your home and the incredible views you have. God's country indeed! Lori
