The cute couple. They cooperated very well for as hot as it was outside! We took the photos at the Bridal Veil Falls overlook area.

Our campsite at Capitol Reef National Park was great. We had green grass, shade, and great views all around.

Brother Weston joined us Thursday night, and Friday morning we hiked to Cassidy Arch. (The arch is just right of Weston.)

After some trepidation, we decided we had to walk out on the arch for the photo opp.
What happened this week ...

Before heading off for Capitol Reef, we spent the morning taking engagement fotos for Amy and Colby, the couple that is to be married November 19, 2004.

The above photos & captions document our Capitol Reef visit fairly well. We really enjoyed being outside and enjoying the grandeurs of this quiet National Park. It just so happened that the peaches were in season already in the Fruita orchards. We ate what we could in the orchard (no charge), and brought a few home to share (for 50 cents a lb.).

Love,
Danae & Jerry
