Pronghorn at the Tetons Cathedral

Life is full of interwoven relationships. When I was a Japanese exchange student at a high school in California, there was an uncle in that family. He went to high school years before in Colorado. And when I saw him in Florida recently and told him I was going to Wyoming, he said he knew a photographer in Wyoming from their high school days. Turns out that photographer lives next door to the "boss" of the mother of the bride whose wedding I was attending. And my daughter who went to a small school in Iowa visited that boss's daughter in Paris when she was studying abroad. And that photographer took me on a day-long photo drive to photograph wildlife, but the car ride was filled with intensely wonderful talk about life, politics, and world views.

(Are you confused by my vague pronoun uses?)

It was an amazing day.
Wonderful mix of foreground interesting and awesome mountains.

Wow -- that's striking! I remember a restaurant in that kind of a setting, when Jim and I were driving through to Yellowstone (in about 1981). And we locked our keys in the car! I don't remember how we got out of that mess but this brings it all back -- being in the middle of nowhere and not sure how to break into our own vehicle!

@taffy -- that's SO funny that looking at my scene suddenly transported you back in time decades, to a specific moment!

Truly is a small world. I like how man's impact is trivial in your composition.

@danette -- do you already know Tetons and where to go and what to do? There are SO many wonderful options. I do have some places marked on my map for "stop here for photography" if you are interested. You will have SUCH fun.

That's a great portrait of one of my favorite mountain ranges.

@stephomy -- I hadn't been there since I was in high school and drove by them on a quick tour of the USA. I plan to go back, though. I loved my time there! Say, when are you coming to Chicago??

Love how the mountains just rise out of the landscape. Must be amazing living in that house and having that view.
