007 Snap a Dozen Days - June
Published June 23, 2007 by CabledSheep
Ah, June. What a beautiful month! Gardens are in full swing, both flowers and veggies. It really feels like summer. The spring veggie crop is winding down now, but the summer crops are just beginning. This is a round variety of zucchini - it’s nice because the plants don’t get as large as a typical zucchini, so they won’t take over my yard the way the spaghetti squash do.
June is also the month for the Salt Lake City Arts Festival. We’re fortunate to live only a few blocks from where the festival is held, so it’s just a short walk. It’s nice to look at all of the artwork, sample some food and beverages from the vendors, and listen to some great music. It’s definitely an annual ritual.
Then there’s hiking! As the weather heats up in June, it’s time to head up into the mountains for some greenery and cool breezes. We’re so fortunate in Salt Lake City to have the mountains so close - in only a few minutes, we can be enjoying beautiful forest and mountains. It’s late enough in the year to have dried out the trails, but early enough so that it’s not too hot. There’s nothing like beating the heat in the valley by taking a hike along a lovely stream.

I took a walk up Millcreek Canyon this morning and it was already scorching. I was at the Arts Festival on Thursday . . . also scorching.
I love the wild flowers in the mountains.
We went up instead of to the Arts Fest. It was so nice in the mountains. Enjoy it today!!
I love the summer light, we are so missing it in Melbourne! Is that a castle in the background!!?
