Looking for a Hookah

OK, so this guy is obviously not into hookah.  He likes his leaves green and fresh.  But that's what I was raised to think caterpillars do on their time off -- smoke hookah.  We didn't discuss it; I just moved along.

Dawn Fog Line 2

Same morning, different angle.  Which do you like better?

Dawn Fog Line

Fog threads its way down from Jackson Lake and wraps itself around the base of Mt. Moran, just before sunup.  Shortly after this, it ran down the lake and caught me in the canoe, yielding the "Fogged In" shot of a couple posts ago.

The White Rim

Panoramic view of the White Rim (and the White Rim Trail) as seen from the Island in the Sky.  I hope it doesn't look muddy at this tiny reduction.  The print is 100" x 40" at 100 dpi.  Lotsa details at full resolution, not so much here.    Gorgeous country, and worth the effort to get the shot, I think.  599 more shots from the desert country to finish...

Fogged In

I've had a good spring, photographically speaking.  Trips to the Moab area and Grand Teton Park have netted me about 700 photos (and some really nice lake trout).  Now the big challenge, as always, is to sit down and finish them up.  Especially tough when it's so nice out.  Here is John Gill's boat waiting for some sun.

Keep Out!

The ever-lovely Diamond Peak gated and chained.  A little allegorical with respect to the current state of affairs here.  Although you can still get to Diamond, around the West big land interests are turning National Forest, BLM, and Wilderness land into their own private preserves.  They simply buy up the private land surrounding public lands and then lock it up to prevent access by the rightful owners (us).  I have a bit of a problem with that.

Spring Snow Triptych

Spring comes hard around here, but underneath all that snow, it's quietly getting ready for its turn...
