After coming up empty handed the last few outings it was so awesome to catch a little color on what was one of the more peaceful mornings ive had in 2020!!

Man... theres just somethin special about Oregon in the fall!...

"End of the Tunnel" .... Sometimes ya just gotta keep your eye on the light at the end of the tunnel

Face to Face ..... what an incredible animal the bison is... i was 6ft away from this massive beast, nose to nose, on a cold, crisp, fall morning... half of his face was still frosted up while the other half warmed in the rising sun.. a moment ill never forget!!

Reflection of the mighty mighty Tetons!!

This was an unplanned shot... a scramble if you will... if youre a photographer you know the one im talkin about!

I was driving along when the color broke and caught me by suprise... needless to say the next 15 minutes or so turned into the "photographer frenzy".. super happy with what i came away with tho!!

Wild Horses
Couldnt drag me away

Ole Morning Glory! This pool used to be an amazing crystal clear blue color... but due to people throwing lucky coins, garbage, and other debris into it the vent has been partially blocked causing the temperature to drop and microbes and algae to bloom... even so its an amazimg feature to see!!

The first morning in Wyoming was foggy, complete overcast, and absolutely no chance of showcasing the amazing Tetons as they werent visible and i hadnt even been able to see them yet!... as i drove around looking for a break in the fog a glow from the forest caught my eye... turned out to be a shot that i REALLY have fallen in love with!!

This is the 1 evening that the conditions cooperated while on the trip to Wyoming.... reminds me of something the Mars Rover would capture

The sunrise in Wyoming was incredible... the way that it lit up the entire landscape with the beautiful golden orange color just blew me away!

Before i begin to post the photos from my recent Teton/Yellowstone trip i wanted to acknowledge the pain and anquish that we returned to the very night the fires were blown out of control by the high winds on the West Coast. Sadly it is going to take decades for our amazing forests and beautiful states to heal... my heart goes out to all of the people/animals/and nature that have lost so much during all of this... keep your head up and keep fighting one day at a time!
