Photo reflections, Teton-Yellowstone trip - Part 2

OK, so this isn't going as quickly as I hoped. Now I'm on a week of vacation at the camp on Madawaska Lake (sunset pictures daily). So, besides my heavy reading schedule I'll be trying to catchup posting pictures from the National Parks visit... on dial-up.

Saturday, July 10th - this was a Grand Teton National Park day, a day spent checking out as much of the park as we had the energy and time for.

Here's your host blogger and wife Carol as we prepare to leave the condo as Bev takes the picture from the middle row seats.

In the way-back region of the Ford Explorer is our entertainment division, Jonny and Ian.

From the parking lot here is the view of the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center.

Really nice inside with a large variety of information displays, helpful staff, auditorium events and a gift shop.

A little reenactment of the display behind them Bev and Jonny pull it off with aplomb.

Greg, Bev and Jonny with the Grand Teton backdrop.

Same treatment for us.

Some wildflowers among the sage.

Nice landscape shot by Ian.

Brother and sister on a vacation trip together.

Not a bad view from a parking lot.

Jenny Lake Gift Shop.

Cousins, the outdoors isn't big enough for the two of them.

This photo by Ian are the sunlit rocks in the shallow shore water of Lake Jenny.

Nothing I like better than seeing snow in July... as long as I don't see it in my yard!

Shuttle boat launch that takes passengers across the lake to Inspiration Point, Hidden Falls and several trail heads. There are also trails around the lake that would take you there as well.

The marina at Colter Bay on Jackson Lake. What a great place to put a boat in.

This right to left sequence is a coyote that we spotted in the woods while driving back through the park. We drove slowly along watching for it through the woods and he gradually worked it's way closer to the road. We realized it was soon going to cross the road so I paused long enough for pictures as he did.

In the middle of this photo is the runoff of melting snow which looked at with binoculars reveals it as a waterfall. These views are at a stop at String Lake.

Bev, admiring the view, which is pretty hard to avoid most anywhere in Grand Teton National Park.


As Greg looks on Ian as demonstrates his technique of using his binoculars as an addition zoom on his camera. It doesn't work too badly at all.
