Two years ago today I was able to celebrate my mom’s birthday with her when she visited me here in Utah. We spent the morning up in the Wasatch Mountains where she enjoyed seeing baby Uinta Ground Squirrels, spring wildflowers, and beautiful views of the canyons and scenery. This photo was taken on that same day.
We saw and photographed Yellow Warblers, a Hammond’s Flycatcher, Gray Catbirds, American Goldfinches, Lazuli Buntings, and we heard a bunch more.
As I drove my mom slowly through the canyon we chatted about the mountains, the birds, and the creatures we were seeing. Springtime here in Utah is beautiful, especially in the mountains. The winding roads, warm sun, fresh air, and bird songs delighted us both. On the way home we stopped at the summit of Big Mountain Pass to enjoy the view of the Salt Lake Valley from there.
Today is my mother’s 88th birthday and although we aren’t together to celebrate it and we are physically 2,211 miles apart I know that this photo will bring us close together once again because she loved this view.
I 💖 you Mom. Happy Birthday!
Mia

Happy Birthday Mia’s Mom.
My Mom loved the Utah mountains dearly. Mia I’m so happy for you that your Mom still enjoys you and life on this earth. It’s a special gift.

A very, very happy birthday to your mama.
Happy Birthday, I hope you are enjoying a nice view where ever you are celebrating today!
This is one of my favorite places too. I have seen herds of elk and a moose or two in the valley.
A very happy birthday to Mia’s Mom! ❤️
And Mia, you’ve created the perfect birthday card — thank you for sharing these memories with all of us.
It is beautiful with all the spring colours. I am sure the photo will trigger all those great memories that you shared that day. Can someone help her set up one of the social networks? My friend who is 89 now, goes onto Zoom regularly to attend church, visit with family etc. I am sure she will love the photo. Enjoy the day both of you.
Happy Birthday Mia’s Mom, may you have many more.
May you and your mom create and share many more special memories together Mia!
Beautiful photo! Beautiful memory! Happy Birthday, Mom!
What a beautiful view! Happy Birthday to your mom & many more!!!
