While I was driving into the mouth of Provo Canyon, I set my camera on top of my steering wheel and took a couple of blind shots. I didn't get the coolest shots because I needed to put both hands on the wheel at certain times, but here's a good one (as good as possible through a dirty windshield, anyway).

Beautiful views like these remind me that there are still plenty of good things about living in Utah. The first photo there is from a spot that is about a 20 minute drive from my house.  Here's another shot on Highway 189 heading toward Heber City. If you look closely, you can see the winding road.

I didn't really take any other photos, though I wish I'd brought my camera into the private volunteer party. The festival officially starts today, so I should get more action shots next time I go up there. I hear that Albertson's grocery store is the place for star sightings, since it's right next door to the ritzy Yarrow Resort where all of the higher-end filmmakers hang out.

But I did take a couple shots of the coat, hat and glove that I was given yesterday to wear as my volunteer uniform. There's a closeup of the embroidered logo, as well as the secret zip-up panel on the right breast of the coat that will hold a cell phone, notepad, pen and other small stuff for easy access. I have a Canon Powershot camera that is unfortunately too bulky to fit there, but volunteers are discouraged from taking photos while dressed as volunteers, anyway. I'll have to be a fangirl on my own time in my own coat.
