with Jackson Lake in the foreground.

This sagebrush did not lead a rebellion

(if you are too young to know, google it).

Don't be buffaloed -- these are bison.

Our Wildlife Safari -- First Set of Photos

The day dawned cold (45 degrees) and foggy.  When we started, I worried that the weather wasn't really conducive to spotting wildlife.  Our guide Chelse picked us up, took us for a quick breakfast.  As we headed north into Grand Teton National Park, the sun burned through and the fog dissipated.  We had excellent weather throughout the day.

Pronghorns!

With the 115-600 lens that I bought two years

ago for Africa but hardly ever used, you'll see

lots of photos of the tops of the Tetons.

The Grand Teton herself.

to hike back into the canyon between 

the mountains.

Not just the Pretty Impressive

Tetons, but the Grand Tetons!

Day One in Grand Tetons/Yellowstone Trip

It was raining when we landed in Jackson (that's the name of the town, Jackson Hole is the name of the valley!) at the start of our week-long trip to Jackson Hole, Big Sky and Yellowstone.  Because of work taking up my free time, I'm not writing lengthy blog posts -- but am going to post a bunch of pictures.

These Tetons aren't simply

very  good, they are Grand.

Just pretend that other family isn't there.

During and after dinner, we watched the 

Olympic swimming events on Maddy's phone.

She's quite app apt at getting the races on line.

Dinner at Piste was great.
