A Wyoming Escape

I apologize for missing the September 10th posting due to a vacation and lack of internet along the way.  Actually, it was a welcome reprieve not to be connected to the chattering noise of information that high tech provides.  We stayed at a campground about six miles from Jackson, Wyoming that was quiet, peaceful and scenic.  Taking a walk around the camp, came across this sight and had to take a photo.  I can't imagine sleeping in a tent on top of a cab on a pickup truck but to each his own, as the saying goes....

The beautiful Teton mountains were not sharply visible since smoke drifted into the area from so many wildfires.  It cleared just briefly for a photo or two that I was able to get from the camp-site area.

Sunsets are beautiful, no matter what part of the country you are in

Driving into Jackson, we noticed a group of people by the side of the road with cameras in tow.  Not to miss an opportunity for a photo shoot, I joined them to see what the fuss was all about.  At the bottom of the hill was a moose with her two calves.  They were enjoying themselves eating and drinking on one of the banks by the river.  The calves were large - at least 300 pounds each and still nursing!  The following photos show the story in sequence....

I think Mama Moose was getting tired of her large babies nursing at her side and broke loose to head to the other side of the river with her calves scrambling after her.  It was a great photo shoot!  There is always something unique to photograph in such an amazing part of Wyoming.  We were able to visit Jackson last year and the weather was a little more co-operative with less smoke.  You can check this link to my post entitled "The Awesome Tetons".... https://turn-uppatch.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-awesome-tetons.html

Please join me at The Turn-Up Patch on Monday, October 8th....  As we enter the Fall season, I leave you with this thought that echos my heart.... "Fall has always been my favorite season.  The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale." - Lauren Destefano
