The Breathtaking Beauty of the West

The Tetons - a glorious mountainous area in Wyoming.  Under almost perfect conditions for photography, we spent a day exploring the area around Jackson, or Jackson Hole, depending on who you talk to.  Our first stop was some early morning shooting on Mormon Row, a group of buildings built under the Homestead Act of 1862.  This settlement agreement promised 160 acres to anyone willing to build a house and cultivate the land for five years. There are seven buildings remaining on what is known as Mormon Row...with the stunning backdrop of the Tetons. Jenny Lake is a lovely lake set within Teton National Park.  Pristine and preserved, we love the wonderful blue sky and cumulus clouds which help accentuate the scene. Another lake in the park is Jackson Lake.  There is a nice resort here, with camping, cabins and standard lodge rooms to choose from.   Boats to rent, hiking trails, miles of wilderness to explore, what more could you want?! Of course,...
