olmueWell, what we didn't see in animal life in Yellowstone last week we made up for today in Grand Teton National Park.
In case you're wondering, no, it isn't zoomed. He was crossing the street just as we got there, so we very quietly didn't breathe as we took the picture.
If you like buffalo and want to see a LOT of them in the wild, there is no better place than Mormon Row in Grand Teton. This is the classic poster photo you see of the Tetons. (This photo by my husband.)
And this is the furthest-out outhouse I know of:
Buffalo were not the only animal to walk right in front of our car.
Here we have Little Bear, who went up Signal Mountain to pick blueberries with his mother, only he ran across the street and got all mixed up with Little Sal and her mother who were out to look at bears. It's not a very clear picture because I was taking it through the window. As there is a huge sign every mile or so saying, BE BEAR AWARE, I figured I should probably NOT do anything to annoy Mama Bear. Eventually they were reunited and Little Bear got to go home to a lecture about cars and listening to his mother when she says stop.
Moving on, here we have the Snake River oxbow and the Jackson Reservoir and Jenny Lake.
Finally, isn't this what summer is all about? The lovely, warm and shallow String Lake, which is actually shaped like your stomach. Naturally the first thing you do when you come to something like this is walk right in. I did.
You can see more at my Flickr page. Even though it's smaller, I think I actually liked Grand Teton better than Yellowstone. It's good for hiking and enjoying nature and not so big on vats of boiling, poisonous substances that could spring up underfoot at any time.
