i loved this afternoon so i wanted to tell you about it

i had a few hours to kill in orem (since i don't live in provo anymore) so i went to the park i'd be doing family photos at that night to check it out. as i walked around i realized it was so very nice outside..like abnormally nice (for the end of october). i would even go as far to say it was rather warm! 

so i decided to get out my blanket and ensign and have a little date with myself.

(i will finish reading every talk from the april general conference if it is the last thing i do!)

 how had i never been there before? such a great park.

with great trees and a barn

and a cute little pond

and a nice view from the ground

and my new bff who kept riding past me and saying things like "oh haha goodness! those ducks just love to quack don't they!"

and of course getting to see my dear friend charlotte!

i'm grateful doing photography allows me to see people i never get to see!

and visit parks i've never visited before. and i can't say enough about how grateful i am for every moment mother nature decides to still be nice and i have unexpected time to enjoy it! win win win.
