Fun night with the neighbors

Met up with Isaac and Laura last night, our neighbors here in southern utah for the last couple months. i feel i can describe the night with one picture. Anyone who's been to Utah and enjoys a good brew will probably recognize this bottle in an instant :)

yeah so maybe i wont do this every day, im having a creativity block lately and ive already gone through all my old photos pretty much so unless i shoot something new, i really have nothing to post. Today i started aimlessly driving north out of st george and eventually came across some old farm equipment that was pretty interesting. Sky was ok'ish but the light was nothing special, oh well cant have everything i guess.

PoTD 03/11/11

Today was a pretty lazy day. However, i was rewarded for my lack of motivation today with a pretty nice sunset. Whenever clouds form to the southwest of our camp before sunset it always turns out pretty nice. As ive been on an HDR kick lately I saw it as an opportunity for more practice and my motivation was rekindled.
