About Garfield County, UT

Speechless Sunday(almost!): Should I stay or should I go now?

A sudden storm blew in complete with roiling clouds, spraying a fine mist from the heavens at Panguitch Lake. We expected a deluge but in its place came a vibrant rainbow breaking through heavy cover, stretching downward.

It appeared to be confused as if to ask…Should I stay or should I go?

And it did!

Happy Sunday to you all!

One of the great things about living in Cedar City is that we are more or less the hub of Southern Utah. We are the Gateway to Utah's National Parks. This Festival isn't in Cedar City, but rather in Escalante. It will take place Friday and Saturday. The Escalante Canyons Art Festival is held in Escalante, Utah.

Some of the Festival events feature the Plein Air painting competition, a fine arts and crafts exhibition and sale. There will be lectures, poetry and discussions about Everett Ruess.

There will also be exhibits, workshops, gallery open houses, walking tours of nearby historic buildings, and performances by cowboy poets, dance groups and musicians. For more information: http://www.escalantecanyonsartfestival.org

Twisted Tree.....

MUST SEE! A rare DOUBLE RAINBOW!

My husband and I threw together a quick plan for a day fishing trip to Panguitch Lake, just the two of us.

We packed, hooked up the pontoon boat and away we went! Reaching the lake about 1:00 p.m., launched the boat and sat back for the rest of the day

• Baiting

• Casting

• Catching

• Releasing

• Keeping

• Relaxing

Wow! What a great way to end the day!

Wordless Wednesday (almost!): Shut the front door!

Showing instructions should be followed implicitly on this property to avoid any type of unexpected surprises. Otherwise, it could prove very embarrassing!

And when you're finished...please...Shut the front door!

During our visit to Panguitch Lake a few weeks ago, I happened to come across this outhouse and couldn't resist taking a picture. I knew I'd use it eventually...the photo of course...not the facilities!

Happy Wednesday to you all!

Wordless Wednesday (almost!): Pure reflection

Ever question why people say that a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work? After an exceptional day on the lake with anchors set, calm waters lazily lapping at the hull, the sun peeking through tufts of clouds, the azure sky, you'll wonder no more...

Pure reflection at its best.
