Merry Christmas!

.An old photo I took one winter in Yellowstone National Park. The wreath wasn’t there.

Wild, Wild, Wildlife at YNP

The wildlife at Yellowstone National Park is as good as it gets in our national parks. The shots below were taken in a span of just one year including winter. Probably why I voted YNP as the best national park.

Yellowstone’s Amazing Waters- Hot and Cold

Yellowstone National Park is a wonderland of waterways. Living in the parched desert of Southern Utah, I was jealous of the vast network of waterfalls and rivers that are ubiquitous in the park. During my recent trip to Yellowstone and The Grand Tetons, I was amazed how green and lush the landscape was. And don’t forget the hot waters from springs that generate a myriad of colors from the bacteria that flourish there. Click on image for larger view.

The Good, The Bad and The Beautiful – More From The Grand Tetons

I arrived at the entrance of Grand Teton National Park around 2pm. I asked the ranger if the heavy cloud cover would lift. You could not see The Tetons at all. Like a conservative weatherman, he said the chances were 50/50. I drove in and around the park and basically bided my time for conditions to improve. And finally the clouds began lifting along with my spirits. I did start at Schwabackers Landing where the skies began to brighten. See Previous Post .

The GOOD is that the cloud cover was lifting. The BAD was that I dropped my camera onto the sidewalk trying to set up around sunset. I was in too much of a hurry and the camera wasn’t properly secured to the ball head.  I shot these images and the ones in my previous post in about 5 hours, so I was moving fast. Too fast. The camera worked fine but the lens was hard to zoom. I guess it could have been worse.  The Tetons were exhibiting major mood swings by this time,  just like I was. THE BEAUTIFUL- The photos below that I took after the accident! Click on photo for larger view.

You Can’t Take A Bad Picture Here!

Schwabacker’s  Landing, just east of Grand Teton National Park at Jackson Hole, is one of those places that produces iconic images of the Grand Tetons. On a still day, the reflections in the beaver ponds are a photographers dream. Add in some clouds and great light, you just hope your batteries don’t go dead. Below are still photos from last week. A companion time lapse video can be seen here –  Teton Time Lapse Video
