Wolves
For our annual autumn trip this year we decided to mix things up a little and go looking for wolves in Yellowstone instead of taking our traditional excursion to Grand Teton. We hoped to substitute and abundance of wildlife sightings for the sweeping landscapes of Grand Teton this year.
Anybody that has visited the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone National Park would have a hard time missing the crowd of wolf observers reliably found there. Eager searchers disburse along the highway equipped with two-way radios and powerful spotting scopes, quickly to converge on a spot when word goes out of a sighting. Read More »
Oh Canada!
I haven’t found the time to do a write-up of our summer trip to Glacier National Park and Canada. I love the Canadian Rockies, and wish I had another two weeks to spend there. But in the absence of a long narrative here are some of the first photos with my new EOS 7D. I have several panoramic shots of Herbert Lake, Tangle Falls, and Chief Mountain that I still need to process and stitch together. But here are some of the other images.

Autumn Pilgrimage 2009

Some twenty years ago I shot an autumn photo of Mt. Moran reflecting in the Snake River from Oxbow bend. It was early in my infatuation with photography and the image was mediocre at best.

But I remember standing there in the cold autumn air, drinking in the incredible panorama laid out before me. I was hooked. Read More »

While returning from a weekend at Grand Targhee Resort near Driggs, Idaho we saw an Osprey approaching a nest along Highway 26 as it travels along the Snake River. I stopped and spent some time watching one of the adults as it tended to the fledglings, occasionally bringing food to the nest. These photos were taken hand-held using a Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS USM Lens. Read More »
Sun Dog

I took my new telemark skis out for a shakedown today in preparation for an upcoming trip to the Tetons. I spent the morning in Weber County North Fork Park testing out my new skis and skins. After a few hours there, I shed the skins and spent the rest of the afternoon at Wolf Mountain Ski Area trying to get used to telemark turns – with marginal success. Fortunately the Black Diamond O1 bindings I bought are outstanding bindings and they compensated for my lack of experience.
On the way to North Fork I took this picture from North Ogden divide. The valley was shrouded with clouds and the sun was reflecting off of the ice crystals in the air.
