A moment before sunrise, Mt. Moran is reflected in the still water at Oxbow Bend in the Teton Range of Wyoming.
Mount Moran on a beautiful autumn day at Oxbow Bend, Grand Teton National Park.
Happy Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all. We are very busy in Yellowstone with family; I will catch up as time permits over the coming days.

Summer in Grand Teton National Park, Oxbow Bend is a popular spot for photographers and tourists as you can see why. I loved all the wildflowers along the banks of the Snake River.
Have a great week. Colorado is getting some much needed rain/snow today. Relief for all the wildfires around us. Stay safe - stay healthy
A blue hour photo of the Tetons, with Mount Moran dominating the other peaks at Oxbow Bend in the Grand Tetons. This was earlier in the trip, five days later the trees out on the spit had changed adding even more color, but the lighting and conditions were not conducive for photography and we were headed home. Sometimes we just take what ever is offered and make the most of it...
Who can tire of this view? Certainly not I... The landscape in the Tetons are ever-changing in good and "bad" conditions. On a clear day like this, you just have to enjoy every last bit. Breathe in that thin mountain air and slowly exhale allowing all your worries to dissipate into those ripples (or blame it on that white pelican that's causing the disturbance).
Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton National Park is located between Jackson Lake and Moran Junctions. Sunrise is probably the best time of day to capture colors, but I was more fascinated by the muted colors of twilight, the time of day between sunset and dusk.
Located at the southeastern point of Indiana. This is a resting area for many egrets and great blue herons. Water levels are the lowest I ever seen.
The record-quick living room remodel, accomplished while I dozed, was a wonderful surprise. But then I began to suspect the contractors were really house thieves.

One cannot pass up this spot on a visit to the Tetons...it's iconic Mount Moran from Oxbow Bend. We could hardly believe that there were only two other photographers out there this particular evening, although it had been raining previously, so I guess most folks called it an evening and went in early. Missed having the reflections, but it's still a beautiful spot to soak in a little nature.
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Still playing catch up and finally getting over a 10 day cold which was no fun in the middle of summer. Have a great week....and as always, thanks for all your visits, faves, and comments!!!
The Pfatterer Au is a 359-hectare nature reserve belonging to the municipality of Pfatter, located north of Pfatter and south of the Danube in the district of Regensburg, Bavaria. The nature reserve includes river valley meadows, old Danube waters with siltation areas and floodplain vegetation. It is also a resting, breeding and wintering area for rare bird species such as the Eurasian curlew, which has its only breeding site here in the district of Regensburg. However, the expansion of the Danube reduced the flow dynamics of the river, which had a negative impact on the floodplain areas. To the north of the Danube is the Stöcklwörth nature reserve, to the east is the Gmünder Au nature reserve.
The picture was taken at the edge of an oxbow lake.
Die Pfatterer Au ist ein 359 Hektar großes zur Gemeinde Pfatter gehörendes Naturschutzgebiet nördlich von Pfatter und südlich der Donau gelegen im Landkreis Regensburg, Bayern. Das Naturschutzgebiet umfasst Stromtalwiesen, Donau-Altwässer mit Verlandungsbereichen und Auenvegetation. Weiter ist es Rast-, Brut- und Überwinterungsgebiet seltener Vogelarten wie dem Großen Brachvogel, der hier sein einziges Brutvorkommen im Landkreis Regensburg hat. Der Ausbau der Donau reduzierte allerdings die Fließdynamik des Flusses, was sich negativ auf die Auenbereiche auswirkte. Nördlich der Donau schließt sich das Naturschutzgebiet Stöcklwörth an, im Osten liegt das Naturschutzgebiet Gmünder Au.
Das Bild entstand am Rand eines Altarms.
On the Snake River in Grand Tetons National Park, Wyoming.

This was our first real trip with digital cameras, almost 10 years ago. I am adding additional photos to this album as time allows.
Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
The morning sun lifts the mist and frost on this oxbow of the Snake River.
Lake Oxbow contains Great Blue Herons and Snowy Egrets at this time of year. It covers many lakes and acres of farm land in Ohio and Indiana that's divided at the Great Miami River's confluence with the Ohio River. Much of the area floods on a regular basis. Clouds are outstanding this time of year.
“I thought the earth remembered me,
she took me back so tenderly,
arranging her dark skirts, her pockets
full of lichens and seeds.
I slept as never before, a stone on the river bed,
nothing between me and the white fire of the stars
but my thoughts, and they floated light as moths
among the branches of the perfect trees.
All night I heard the small kingdoms
breathing around me, the insects,
and the birds who do their work in the darkness.
All night I rose and fell, as if in water,
grappling with a luminous doom. By morning
I had vanished at least a dozen times
into something better.” ~~~ Mary Oliver
A moment in time at Oxbow. The sky was so full of drama I decided to let my full frame do it's wonder and take in as much of the sky as I could as well as the beauty of the mountains.
Thanks for sharing,

Proof positive that it pays to get up early in the morning .... the water is calm .... the air is crisp ... and the light can be stunning.
This is the Oxbow Bend of the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park. The mountain is Mount Moran.
If you have a moment, I hope you'll view this at the larger size linked below:
