Red Butte Garden and Arboretum
Today was one of those get-ready-for-what’s-ahead days. After a workout, coffee, and lunch, I spent the afternoon hiking the muddy winter trails at Red Butte Garden, photographing snow-covered plants and lingering color, before turning in early for a ski day at Solitude.
Utah State Capitol
A detailed visit to the Utah State Capitol, exploring its history, architecture, materials, and symbolism, followed by time photographing the interior, grounds, and downtown Salt Lake City after dark. From neoclassical design choices and Chief Washakie’s statue to trams, winter lights, and quiet streets, the city revealed itself slowly, unevenly, and without spectacle.
