35+ image pano of Shell Canyon.

Rough light. Generally uninspired on this one! Sometimes it's just good to practice.

While you’re here, stop by and visit the world of Jahrensy, my trusty second shooter and partner in crime on this, that and another misadventure.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - It was a beautiful day for a hike in Shell Canyon. The fresh green foliage on the cottonwood trees was catching the sunlight.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - There were plenty of these small ponds in the area. One of them had a moose, but I didn't get a picture.

Shell Falls Wyoming is amazing! I took this shot from the look out and edited out the walkway on the left, be sure to stop at every turnout so you don't burn out your brakes. Because this is one hilly climb and descent . rv are suggested to not go this route. #shellfalls , #bighorn , #shellcanyon

My Flickrfriend Carla. I'm so glad that she makes it out to Wyoming often so that we can get together. She's turned in to a wonderful friend.

The Wild Flower's Song

As I wander'd the forest,

The green leaves among,

I heard a wild flower

Singing a song.

I slept in the Earth

In the silent night,

I murmur'd my fears

And I felt delight.

In the morning I went

As rosy as morn,

To seek for new joy;

But O! met with scorn.

If you make it over the mountain and into Shell, Wyoming, this general store is your reward. But they don't have Diet Ruby Red Squirt, so don't get your hopes up.

Shirl doesn't observe the ordinary precautions as we stop at one of the first overlooks up the mountain between Dayton and Shell, Wyoming. As always, her daughter is there to capture her final moments.

Stand in the place where you live

Now face North

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven't before

Now stand in the place where you work

Now face West

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't before

If you are confused, check with the sun

Carry a compass to help you along

Your feet are going to be on the ground

Your head is there to move you around, so

Stand in the place where you live

Now face North

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven't before

Now stand in the place where you work

Now face West

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't before

Your feet are going to be on the ground

Your head is there to move you around

If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling

Listen to reason

Season is calling

If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling

Listen to reason

Reason is calling

Your feet are going to be on the ground

Your head is there to move you around

Stand

Shell Canyon, Big Horn National Forest

Big Horn National Forest

We were cruising up the Shell Canyon in the early morning late in September. Shortly after stopping and admiring the Shell Falls we spotted this bull coming down the hillside heading for the river to get a drink. We trailed him down a side road to the river.
