Stephen got Columbus day off on Monday which was fabulous for us to have a nice long weekend together. I still had to work, but only for a few hours in the morning, so we had all afternoon and evening to get out of the house and do something. So we headed through Big Cottonwood Canyon to the Albion Basin and hiked up to Cecret Lake. It wasn't a big hike, but man, did I really find out that I'm out of shape! The lake and mountain scenery were so beautiful; I only wish we could have been up there a few weeks ago when the falls colors were at their peaks.
I wasn't sure if I was going to fit inside, and if I did I didn't want to get sap all over me, haha, so I'm trying really hard not the touch the tree.
On our way to the lake we spotted this cool looking conifer. This Spruce tree has another spruce tree growing on it! You can see the roots where, over time, the main tree uprooted it and fused both trees together, and in an effort for the other tree to get light its branches looped their way around to survive. I love plants!
