I spent some time looking for birds and wildlife in the Salt Lake City area.  I did not see as much as I had hoped. The temperatures were in the high 90s and I found it difficult to spend much time outside.  

I am finding that I really enjoy taking photos but dislike processing them.  This post is a bit of a photo dump from various locations throughout this summer.  

I was walking on the beach near sheep creek and happened to spot a beaver trying to swim up the creek.  It was low tide so there was not much water in the creek.  I am not sure what it was doing in such a shallow creek that is so close to the ocean.  I was quite surprised.  

We also spotted a sea otter near point retreat while we were out on our boat.  We have never seen sea otters so close to Juneau.
