I had a few more interesting photos from our trip up the Teton Canyon the other day, here's a black bear walking down the dappled trail, looking back at us. We rarely see bears on our excursions so it's extra fun when we got to spend time with this one.

We've watched this tree growing from the rock since we moved here in 2003. In real life, it looks 30 feet tall.  We'd feel sad if we took this drive and saw where it was broken or it gave up on life. It's hard to imagine it can live and thrive in that place, but it does!

There are little streams alongside the road along with empty beaver dams. It seems odd they trap the beaver out of there and don't let them live.  The dams they create are beautiful, the water is so clear there....they make this soft deep green  color.

I loved seeing this shaft of light come through the forest and light up this patch of thimbleberry bushes. It only lasted a second! I was glad I caught it!

This little squirrel was running around a campground where we stopped. Of course he was a busy fellow, up and down trees, throwing pine cones to the ground then coming down in a streak to hide them in the ground or tuck them into hidey holes.

Here's a stump where the squirrel sits to eat when he gets hungry and needs a break from storing food for winter.

Hope you enjoyed the photos, we're planning to take another photo trip before long, possibly up the Sun River Canyon to Gibson Dam.  If we're lucky we'll see more bears in the chokecherries, and possibly the mountain sheep! We never know when we'll be lucky and see wildlife.

Horse photos from a week at the ranch.

When I lived on the ranch, and worked everyday, I barely noticed the way the light plays over the form of a horse. If you need your horse in a hurry, and you see scenes like this, they're so fleeting. You don't have time to really see the beauty around you.

So I've posted these horse photos so we can take a moment to reflect on how wonderful our equines are. I hope you experience a feeling of peace and harmony when you see these photos, the same as I did when I took them.

You can purchase these horse photos as prints on my Red Bubble site below. There are many options in pricing and size, canvas and paper. Something for every budget! Place your order today.
