first hike of the year

I went hiking last Saturday...it was a beautiful day and I took lots of pictures.  We went up by little Cottonwood canyon.  I don't remember the name of the trail, it was kinda steep but there were lots of great things to take pictures of...I love the greenery that remind me that spring is here...and the water...I love the water!!!  The creek and the reservoir at the end of our hike.  We didn't have time to go to the waterfall at the top but we hope to try that another Saturday before the season is over!!

I also love the trees...

 the duckies...and the ripples in the lake...especially once we had to start skipping rocks! 

 and the reflections of the mountains and the sky in the water...I could just sit there all day and stare into the water...very relaxing and calming.
