ISLAND PARK, YELLOWSTONE, THE TETONS AND JENNY LAKE

One of the best places on earth to find yourself in the middle of the summer or early fall (or anytime really), is Island Park, Idaho and the West Yellowstone - Grand Teton - Jackson Hole area(s). I put together this brief slideshow of some recent photos from Mesa Falls, Henry's Lake, Yellowstone, the Tetons, Jenny and Jackson Lakes. A unique aspect of these pictures is that only very few of them include people. . with one very notable exception. In one of the photos of Lower Mesa Falls, if you look closely you will notice a kayaker just about to go over the twenty-foot drop at the base. Outside of this single exception I think that when drawing from and utilizing the beauty and majesty of its palette, nature realizes that it is not always enhanced with the addition of people to its canvas. Though these photos don't begin to do justice to the region, those of you who have been there know what I'm talking about. You also know what a special place it truly is.
