The concrete down to the Fisher Mansion property is almost complete too.



Richard Kletting, architect of the Fisher Mansion, would have loved this project.
According to family and friends, Richard was always designing improvements for SLC.

Kletting and the Cullen

Kletting and the Cullen

Richard Kletting designed the Cullen building for Matthew Cullen and Jacob Moritz,
the owners of the Salt Lake Brewing Company.

When it was demolished in 1954, various pieces became parts of other buildings.

One of the places that host stone from the Cullen is the Lebanese Garden
in the Salt Lake City Peace Gardens.

A Stroll Among Thermals

A Stroll Among Thermals

 A fine day at Norris Geyers Basin
Saw wonderful thermals as usual and chatted with folks from all over the world.
There is laughter with trying to find a name for the sounds you hear.

Another stroll at Fountain Paint Pots brings colors to a new level.

Erythranthe guttata
Seep Monkey Flower


A refreshing walk to the falls
always fills me with wonder.



A glass of wine with Paul to share thoughts of the day
and what's coming up for the summer.
