It was a cloudy day. Just an hour or so after sunrise. The sunrise was disappointing, however, I stuck around a little while to see if I could get a little more light and white clouds. The setting was at Schwabacher's Landing near Jackson Hole, Wyoming with the Tetons for the background. I was able to get a few good reflections. Hope you enjoy it.
One of the famous barns in Grand Teton national Park. Autumn was late this year so we still had some beautiful colors in the trees in late October.
This was one of the few times the clouds broke while I visited the Tetons and Yellowstone. Of course I was at the opposite end of the park from where I would have preferred to be but it worked out fairly well anyway.
I'll be starting the long drive back to Ontario in a few days. Not looking forward to the drive but I am looking forward to seeing family and friends there. I'm pretty much sticking to I-40 so if any of my flickr friends know of any "must see" places along the way, let me know.
The primary Tetons crowned by an impressive formation of clouds.
Another reason I love mountains is you can generally count on some amazing cloud formations above them. However, occasionally too many clouds gather and one can't see the peaks. That has happened for me more often when here. Like sunrises, you hope for the best that day. This day was a very very good day with fall foliage popping nicely below as well.
Thanks for taking a look. Always appreciated!
Taken from Snake River Overlook, the sunset behind the range can create a dramatic effect of contrasting colors.
Brilliant autumn leaves on the Aspens with the Tetons in the background on a warm September afternoon.
A healthy grazing boar grizzly found in the Tetons in the fall. Gotta fatten up before his pillow calls him.
"The grizzly bear hump is actually a large muscle. The most identifiable trait of a grizzly bear is the large hump on their shoulders, a powerful muscle they use to power their forelimbs through their daily routine. Grizzlies, known to dig more than any other bear species, spend inordinate amounts of time ripping through the earth and tearing apart rotted logs in search of roots, plant bulbs, insects, rodents, and other grubs. Their massive hump is also the muscle powering them as they dig out winter dens, often in steep and rocky mountain terrain." bearsmart.com
Hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start!
The Grand Teton is the highest point of the Teton Range, and the second highest peak in the U.S. state of Wyoming after Gannet Peak. The mountain is entirely within the Snake River drainage basin, wich it feeds by several local creeks and glaciers. The Teton Range is a subrange of the Rocks Mountains, which extend rom souther Alaska to northern New Mexico.
