Antelope Island - Frary Peak

Memorial Day, 2011

Woke up to a dusting of snow on the back lawn.  Ah yes, the Spring of 2011 will be remembered, for how late the winter ran and how much precip we received.

Went to Antelope Island and took the trusty Canon with me.  It was a great day, both for hiking to the top of the island, and for taking photos.  Lots of sun & clouds, which means great lighting situations for landscape photography.

Great, great view from the top of Antelope, Frary Peak. 

Here's a view from the Frary Peak trail looking northwest toward Buffalo Point, with Fremont Island in the background:
