Jill had a precious Saturday off from the hospital, and I had a white balance photography assignment due, so we headed to Arches for a hike to Delicate Arch
These pictures are in no particular order, so this is Jill, and Dave carrying Capri on his shoulders, on the way back from the arch.

We hiked down into the bowl, which was quite a feat, and played around under the arch for a while.
Aiden and I hiked back down much faster than the rest, mostly due to the fact that Capri wanted to play in every bit of sand we crossed, so he played in the wet sand by the scummy little pond below the bridge while we waited for the Mom with the car keys.
These photos were part of my assignment. The photo above was taken with a custom white balance I set using a gray card. Aiden was trying to start a fire by rubbing two rocks together.
This was a preset white balance called Color Temperature Enhancement. It is supposed to enhance color casts instead of trying to eliminate them. Not bad, but I still like the custom white balance better.
Aiden has pretty much had it with being my photography assignment subject. I had to sneak this photo in, and, in my hurry, got the arch in focus and Aiden blurred. But this is Aiden and Delicate Arch looking through the little window arch just before you turn the corner and Delicate Arch, in all it's beautiful glory, comes into view. Fun hike, gorgeous scenery, and great company made for a really good day.
