Have 2 last Yellowstone/Tetons pictures I want to post - which is a good thing since all that's happening around here right now is watching the river rise and highways close. They closed down the Corps park today (to some unhappy Memorial Day campers) in anticipation of higher water tomorrow. Quite a few homes in neighboring towns are being flooded.
But I digress - this is a picture somewhat similar to one I remember my mom talking about when she made a trip to Jenny Lake back in the early 80's. She never learned to drive so she had taken a bus tour and fell in love with this area.
Beautiful. A lot of the areas around our lakes are closed as well. We usually have fireworks starting up on Memorial Day but that has already been postponed til sometime in July.
Nice memory and image. We were at Jenny Lake two years ago. Hillsdale (KS) State Park closed today due to flooding, believed to be the first time this happened, and more rain coming . . .
Makes a beautiful b&w and wonderful tribute to your mom. Hope you are safe with the rising waters - I am so storm weary - enough please ? Stay safe my friend
What a lovely picture in every way. I love your spectacular subject, beautiful and perfect black and white processing, and - of course - your sentimental story. Fabulous, Milanie!
This is beautiful, Milanie. I like the B&W edit, and how neat that your mom once stood in the same place, taking a very similar image.
(I'm sorry about the flooding. Same thing here in IL... rivers have been out of their banks for weeks, if not a couple of months. I've never seen so much mud in all my days of living here.)
