Ansel Adams I am not

Ansel Adams was a famous photographer who photographed the Tetons in 1941 and 1942. He took his picture from a spot called the Snake River Overlook. It is a kind of way out of the way place but we found it last night. I didn't do the photograph justice. It was taken at sunset but picture is a bit hazy. But I will say that it looks almost just like Adams picture. This Snake River has been wonderful to fish in (upstream) and we will be taking a scenic float trip right about here tomorrow. We also had a hard time with animals crossing the road right in front of us. First, there was a moose that crossed the road in front of us.

Then, the bison, who don't seem to understand that there are boundaries, decided to cross the road in front of traffic. When we got back into the park, there was a herd of elk in the field that we enjoyed.


This morning, we decided to go to Yellowstone and on our way out, there were 2 grizzly bears rummaging for food. The picture had to be taken quickly because the ranger was moving us on. We realize that anytime there is a ranger present, there is a bear. It's almost like they follow the bear because people are really stupid. People walk right up to the bison to take pictures like they won't do anything.

Hmmm, I wonder if there will be such views in Savannah??!!! Can't wait our trip! I believe I will be having SIDE RULES, such as SIDE RULE #1, Tracy THINKS she gets to do whatever she wants, but we will be exercising the right to veto as needed... :)
