Book progress and a lesson learned
Screen shot of my U.S. Highway 89 book Progress, frustratingly slow, but progress nevertheless. I don't dare put a date on when it will go to press, but it is going. Here's a screen shot of the introductory spread...
Cowboy Bar
Cowboy Bar, Jackson Wyoming I knew in the back of my mind that I had a keeper of this neon, but then I moved on. Today I put some time into readying it for the Highway 89 project....
Best of 2008 on Highway 89
I wasn't going to blog a best-of for 2008, mostly because the end-of-year recap on my 2008 resolutions was already nagging at me. The national implosion of the publishing industry directly impacted my Highway 89 project, and by the end...
Western Classic: Dempster windmill
Hoback Canyon, Wyoming I grabbed this shot of a working windmill on our drive to Jackson last September. The Hoback River valley has some of the most consistently beautiful autumnal aspen, and we look forward to the drive from...
Aspencade
My favorite aspens We probably wouldn't have gone to Jackson this year if I hadn't needed to visit the town library. The scientist has been under extraordinary pressure these last few months, and it's hard to justify the time...
Aspen and sky
Another look at the great aspencade of 2008 in Grand Teton National Park My photographic life got simpler when I started wrapping a rubber band around each camera battery after I charged it. The rubber band necessarily comes off...

Pronghorns on the way to Jackson Hole
Herd of Pronghorn near Bondurant, Wyoming My troops revolted yesterday. Or is it troop, when there's only one member of the corps? Anyway, R insisted that we take the US 189 route to Jackson, through Evanston, Kemmerer, Big Piney...
Wyoming air quality - you can say you told you so
Apropos nothing in the text, just a pretty spot in Wyoming* R forwarded me this story from MSNBC about the degradation of air quality in rural Wyoming as a result of the rapidly spawning gas industry during the last...

Sarah and Sam, Percheron draft horses, pull one of the sleighs at the National Elk Refuge My friend Nancy and I really wanted good imagery of the National Elk Refuge, but neither of us had been there before in...
Ice Column, Afton Wyoming
Ice Column, Afton, Wyoming Can anyone explain how this ice column erupted out of the farmland alongside U.S. Highway 89 in Afton, WY? On the way to Jackson today, I saw three of them. This one was the largest,...
Homecoming preliminaries, Star Valley, Wyoming
Snake Dancing across Highway 89, Afton, Wyoming I arrived in Afton knowing where the high school was, and that a "snake dance," bonfire and powderpuff football game were on the schedule. Stopped in at Rulon's Burger Barn/Sinclair Gas station...
Mule deer buck - Yellowstone National Park
Mule deer buck - Yellowstone National Park My repair request to Nikon describes the failure of the D2X as occurring "after a burst of frames." Here's the subject of said burst. He was relaxing, moving into dappled sunlight with...
Tetons pano (WIP)
Clearing storm over the Grand Tetons A WIP, for you non-knitting blog readers, is a work-in-progress. I like to finish things at least once a week. In fact, I try to schedule myself a "finishing day" which is different...
Antlers - Jackson, Wyoming
Antlers for sale The other reason I went to Jackson last weekend was to photograph the annual elk antler auction. Thousands of animals winter on the National Elk Refuge adjacent to Jackson, and the males shed their antlers in...
Bluebirds at the National Elk Refuge

Cottonwoods in the fog - Jackson, Wyoming
Fog rising from the Snake River south of Jackson, Wyoming Snow forecast for Utah tonight, time to get out of town again. We had snow in Jackson a couple weeks ago too. On our way out of that town,...
Mt. Leidy - East of Grand Teton National Park
Clouds billowing over Mt. Leidy, east of Grand Teton National Park Sunrise on our second day in Grand Teton NP - cold, some light clouds on the Teton range, not much color. Then heading back to the lodge for...
Snow on Signal Mountain in Grand Tetons NP
Snow on Signal Mountain The snow started yesterday just as we entered the park and blew with a lake effect off Jackson Lake for most of the afternoon. It was so tempting to lie abed, because the storm wasn't predicted...
Sunrise +37 minutes at the Oxbow in Grand Teton National Park
Ox Bow, home of otters, elk, trout and moose Still out in the frost, R having retreated to the car. Oddly, I don't get cold while I am photographing, but feel chilled later, when I go inside. Chemical bootwarmers...
Waves of sunlight - Grand Teton National Park
Still a little early on the color at Menor's Ferry, Grand Teton National Park I staked out my position to align the bush in front of the fence just where I wanted it, to the consternation of two other...

Fishing gear - Grand Teton National Park
The launch site for Snake River canoe/kayak float trips is a prime fishing spot. Met this shy little princess as we were gearing up for a float to Deadman's Bar, about 15 miles downstream. No bears, one coyote, three...
CD boxes - Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone: break in the storm I have started a fun personal project, cropping and printing images to fit into CD jewel cases. With a little sticky gum, I will fill the hallway with little squares of ideas. The temperature...
