On our way back to the Wildflower Inn tonight, we saw a bunch of people and cars alongside the road.  Has to be an animal in the woods.  So of course we had to stop.  The bear watch was on.  There were 2 or 3 bears in the woods.  The bears like huckleberries and we could see the huckleberry bushes move but could only get a glimpse of the bears from time to time.  Two rangers showed up for crowd and traffic control.  Here is a picture of a small part of the crowd waiting for the bears to move so we could get a photo.

Another beautiful day in the Tetons.  The aspens are just beautiful in the Tetons. When we stopped at the Old Faithful Inn a few days ago, we saw a beautiful picture of some aspens. However, the smallest size – 10 x 14 – was around $500. So we decided to take some photos and see if we could come up with anything close. We really like how this one turned out. We would rather spend the $500 on more camera gear. That’s what a couple of crazy amateur photographers would do

Jackson Lake   The lake is really low – in fact as of August 1st, it was at 62% of it’s 847,000 acre capacity   It is estimated that it will be at 18% capacity by the end of September.  We were surprised to discover the reason was that the water drains into the Snake River thru a dam and is used for potato growing and dairy farming in Idaho.  The dairy farming industry has been increasing in Idaho because of water restrictions in California that forced dairy farmers to move elsewhere – Idaho
