Majestic Reflections – Taggart Lake – part 2

When we reached Taggart Lake for the beautiful sunrise there was not a cloud in the sky.  We were there for about 30 minutes and I noticed all the clouds moving in.  We waited just long enough to capture this.

Majestic Reflections – Taggart Lake – Happy 4th of July

On our 2nd to last day in Grand Teton National Park my nephew and woke up early to hike to Taggart Lake (2 mile hike).  It was a beautiful morning and we got there at sunrise.  I quickly set up my camera and decided a panoramic would work best.  I’m sure others will say that I had much better shots taken at other locations but this location for some reason really sticks with me.  Maybe it’s the fact that I knew nobody else but me and my nephew were around and we could enjoy the peaceful and majestic sunrise together.  Last, in a few days I will post one more picture from this location.  That picture, maybe my favorite overall is a great example of why you need to be patient!

12 Years!

Want to wish my beautiful wife a Happy Anniversary.  It has been 12 years but we have been together for over 20 years (that’s more than half our lives).

Reflections

It’s been a few days since posting any pictures.  Here is one from our recent trip to Chicago.

This is probably one of the most popular places to take pictures at Grand Teton National Park (Mormon Row).  We set and ready for sunrise around 0530.  I knew it was going to be a wonderful shoot because there were no clouds to the east but many to the west (over the mountains).  This cloud formation probably only occurs a few times a month, we were just fortunate to be there for one.
