Schuyler Fisk finally has a CD!!

Schuyler Fisk
(pronounced Skyler)

So most of you have probably heard her music around, but not really known who she was. She is also an actress and daughter of Sissy Spacek. I have loved her voice since I first heard it on a movie she starred in called "I'm Reed Fish" and wanted to purchase a CD then, but one didn't exist. I heard her again on a couple of songs from "Penelope" so I bought the soundtrack so I could have some of her music. Last night I found that she now has a CD so I downloaded the album and I am loving it.

My Funky Camera.

I came across the website myfunkycamera.com while browsing for a new camera neck strap. I absolutely love the neck straps on this site. The woman actually makes all of the neck straps. It is not a commercial company, just her making them individually. When she runs out of a particular fabric pattern she buys another and creates a new design. She has about 20 designs currently. This is a picture of the neck strap that I purchased and I can't wait to get it.

Hike 1: Indian Trail.

I have decided that I am going to do something fun and productive on my day off...which is Friday. My co-worker (Jody) and I have decided to go on a hike every Friday. Jody chose the Indian trail up Ogden Canyon for this weeks (actually last week) hike. Definitely would not have been my choice of a first hike, but Jody has gone on many hikes this summer so this is what I had to suffer. I actually enjoyed it though, and very beautiful view!
THE INDIAN TRAIL
Winding along the mountainside above the Ogden River, this high country trail rises 1,000 feet in its 4.2 mile length. Indian Trail is so named because the western segment follows an earlier path blazed by Native Americans who wanted to avoid the narrow mouth of Ogden Canyon when the river was high.
THE END!
(ok, this wasn't really the end of the hike...just my blog post.)
Stay tuned for Hike 2: Skull Crack Trail.
