Tetons

A++ James. The tetons are an amazing place. Thank you for sharing.

If i may be so bold....if you have a link to some of your other photos from said trip, i would love to view them, and only if you are comfortable with sharing. :beer::beer:

By the way - i say all of this, because i have traveled quite a bit, but am a photography dunce.

i take photos of what i think are amazing scenes, only to view them later and be wildly disappointed. real photog's have an eye and a talent that can not be faked. i have neither!

I use this one for my big screen. The White Mountains of New Hampshire, from the top of the field at my grandfather's old place in Lancaster.

This is my favorite pic of all I’ve ever taken. When I lived in Mexico I’d go to our top deck with my coffee to watch the sunrise and start my day. This day started spectacularly!

Are you kidding??? Mine has GOT to be this - an under construction image of my soon to be arriving Bishop. Not only is this occupying my desktop, but it's also occupying much of my waking thoughts!

Mine's a summer bouquet arranged by a very talented graphic artist friend--the flowers are from her garden too! (As is the snail!)

Points and my insta-friending if anyone can identify where this is?

Old home town photo from a training ride photo stop when I rode through real winters. Is it crazy that since living in Cali I miss cold weather? :fight:
