Oxbow Bend by exposure4u

Oxbow Bend

I am finally getting back and uploading again! Our family decided to take a camping trip we had planned up to the Tetons and Yellowstone after the fires. We really needed to de-stress and get away from the worry for a few days. We are now back and had a wonderful time! I sure apologize for my lack of participation on 365 and hope to get caught up. I have been without a laptop (in repair) and now have it back after our trip.
I am looking forward to getting caught up on the amazing shots you all have been producing!

This was taken at Oxbow Bend in Teton National Park.
Glad to see your back and that life is returning to normal for you. Another amazing landscape - colour, texture, reflection, ducks - absolutely stunning. Fav for sure.

@purdey Thank you so much Sharon for you wonderful comments! It feels great to be back to doing something I love and not so consumed with the fire. Our community has a road ahead, but I have confidence that we will rebuild. Thank you so much!

Oh and I was thinking of you when I was looking at the Blurb software to make a photobook. If you make one through them you could then put it up for sale on their website as well. They make it very easy to publish and market a book....!
July 17th, 2012  
@kiwichick Thank you so much Lesley!! I sure appreciate the information on Blurb too! I have been thinking about making a book, but sure have struggled with how to publish one. Someone else mentioned Blurb and I will definitely have to try them out! Thank you so much!

Very nice shot. I was beginning to worry about you, having not seen you around since you posted a shot right after you were allowed back in.

I've been posting many of my Bryce Canyon shots, and thinking about you with each one as they remind me of many of your Garden of the Gods shots.
