Share & Voice: Trip to Utah

Hi all! I decided to my post this week on a trip that I took to Utah this summer. My sister and her husband live there and I went out to visit when my niece was born. I had the opportunity to do some hiking, which was awesome and so gorgeous. We hiked to a waterfall that was incredible! I was also able to witness an amazing thunder storm. I thought that these pictures would tie in nicely with my blog and also help illustrate how beautiful water is in nature.

The above pictures I took when we were on our hike. It was so cool to see such a huge waterfall. You could get so close to it that the water would spray on your face.

The last two pictures here I took in the backyard of my sister's house. There was a huge storm rolling in and I was able to capture some of the clouds. It was awesome how fast it came in and was so cool to see it over the mountains.

Hope you all enjoyed my pictures!
