My favorite aspens
We probably wouldn't have gone to Jackson this year if I hadn't needed to visit the town library. The scientist has been under extraordinary pressure these last few months, and it's hard to justify the time away from the lab. So we made a short trip, with time for only a few photos. The original mission on the day I shot this landscape of Mt. Moran was simply a record shot of my favorite trees in Grand Teton NP, maybe anywhere. In all the years I have hiked, kayaked and photographed in the park, I had never seen them as glorious as they were this October. One more gift that came from my US 89 project. I will finish the book but the highway goes on forever.

Outstanding shot Ann. The colors and reflection are exceptional.

Love this picture, Ann. On a snowy day like today, I realize I didn't celebrate and savor Autumn enough!!

Who remembers this: placing the nubs of used crayons in the center of a piece of paper, folding the paper, ironing it and opening it to reveal a "butterfly"? This photo is burnt umber, yellow ochre, lemon yellow and cornflower blue melted together. A gorgeously evocative butterfly, Ann.
