the great salt lake

  We hadn’t been to the Great Salt Lake in a few years.  It’s such a fun place to take pictures! We headed out there one evening in May.  I couldn’t find the remote shutter for my camera, so my family portrait idea was out the window.  We took turns taking pictures. The shores of…
