Inversions

 
The Salt lake valley is often drowned in an inversion.  The air and the mood gets cold and foggy.  It can be dark on sunny days and very gloomy on cloudy ones.  Lake Bonneville has filled up again and we are the fish swimming unseen just below the surface.

Hermes and I need to escape, for it's not safe in the thick of it.  Different sides of the bowl give us different views.  We crawl out of the sea towards the mountain and then look to heaven and wonder.  It could have looked like this a million years ago.
"Is this the way life has always been?"
"We have to move up or be eaten?"
"Are we not ready to stay above it yet?"
 Hermes looks hungry,  we better return home.

  1. You do this every day that you have the energy to do this until you are well and healthy. When I had chronic fatigue I rarely had energy to juice so I drank a green drink. I like AlkaVision., also liquid green chlorophyll. Cucumbers are one of the most alkaline foods you can eat. If you have a Vita mixer you can mix the juice if you don't have energy to juice or get someone else to do it for you. I live in South Jordan.
    Great blog, great photos.
