One of the many scenes I had on a 20 day taxi road trip with 5 young Amish men (Aged 22-39). Now home, before a 7 day road trip to Northeastern USA. It feels like a 40 hour layover! Maybe after that I will be more consistent with posts!

This campsite on the East side of the Grand Teton National Park was one of 8 sites we enjoyed on the 20 day Western USA trip we just took. By the time this is posted I will be on a 7 day trip to the NE of the USA. On this trip it is a pleasure to have my wife with me!
I was privileged to catch a photo of this Marten on a trail in the Grand Teton National Park!
Of course, I had to park for a minute to get the picture! We were disappointed that we couldn’t drive the complete “Going to Sun” road in Glacier National Park because it was still impassable at Logan Pass because of the winter snow! We did enjoy the section that was still open. We did not check out the section on the West side that was open, though we took the road at the East Entrance that was open for 14 miles!
I wasn’t sure which photo to post of my dear wife, who has a birthday today! So, for two months she is older than I am! Here she is doing what she does well! Spending time listening to people’s stories! This is my Aunt Mary Ann, who passed away two years ago! I am traveling for 20 days with five young Amish men, a trip to the West Coast of the USA. We have two weeks behind us, and one week ahead of us! Therefore, I will have to really celebrate Alice’s birthday when I return home!!
Enjoyed this site East of the Cascade mountains in Washington!
Vacationers on the “Samson” waiting to get off of the boat, after a one hour whale watch trip on the coast of Oregon. We did see 3-4 whales!
I tried to upload a mp4 file of this car driving through this tree! Somewhat WP didn’t let me do that!?! Somewhere there is a photo of my father and a car driving through this Redwood tree in 1946! I wasn’t sure if I would ever be able to see this tree or not! Now it happened! This is in the Redwood National Park, California!
One of our sharp-eyed gang saw these desert bighorn sheep (likely) nicely silhouetted in the blue skies! I don’t remember what they said they were.
Can you pick them out on the hilltop! This is the view with the naked eye! I appreciate my telephoto lens!
Have a good day!
I haven’t had a chance to check my life list of birds recorded, but I think this Stellar Jay, seen in the Yosemite Valley, is one of the birds that put my list over 300!
I met Ruth on the Mist Trail that leads up to the Half-Dome and Vernal Falls. This photo was on the Footbridge with Vernal Falls behind us. She was friendly and encouraging. I also met a couple from England, as well as a young man from England. I hiked this trail and the Mirror Lake trail in the Yosemite Valley, for a total of 6.5 miles including the walk from the parking lot, and returning halfway to the trail entrance to make sure the van was locked. It hadn’t been locked!
