Lower Falls of the Yellowstone

I am always amazed by the beauty and the power of waterfalls. This was one of the first waterfalls to amaze me as a child, and it was a treat to see it again this summer. Everyone should see Yellowstone at least once.

Blue

So I've fallen off the planet, blog-wise. I decided there were a couple more travel shots that I like. I'm digging the color on this one - from Yellowstone.

Natural Frame

I'm craving the peace, quiet and solitude of the Tetons this morning. This is another view of Jackson Lake. One day it might be nice to take a boat out on the water for a day.

Old Faithful Inn

If I could transport my loved ones and myself to any one place in the world at this very moment, it would be to the Old Faithful Inn. So tranquil, quiet and peaceful, despite the crowds. I loved the time we spent there, and I look forward to when we'll get a chance to return.

If you've never been, do yourself the favor of spending an evening, whether you opt to spend the night or not.

Grand Canyon

I can't wait to get back to explore the Grand Canyon more thoroughly. I want to do the rim to rim hike, raft the river, the whole deal. It was magnificent just from the rim - I can only imagine what it will be like to see it in depth.

Until then, here's a tough old tree living out its existence where few dare to walk, right on the rim.

Morning Glory Pool

So, I'm ready for another trip to Yellowstone.

Great Sand Dunes

I like this one for the perspective it gives. The park is called Great Sand Dunes for a reason - there's a lot of sand here.
