Elk Antlers

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 »

Herbert Lake

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.

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 »

There were some other things that we did on our Fall trip to the Tetons besides run from bears. We even drove up into Yellowstone for a day. The weather was a mix of snow early and sun later. Temperatures at night weren’t bad. Here are a few of the images captured when we weren’t running for our lives.

Wow! What a Vacation

Last week my family and I went on our annual autumn pilgrimage to Grand Teton National Park. We love fall in the Tetons and have visited the park dozens of times during September and October. This year however, we had a unique and unexpected experience that will surely become a family-vacation legend.
