Saturday in the Park with Tom



We went up to the park yesterday. It was a day that demanded it. While the aspen leaves had not fully turned there were plenty of patches of color that drew focus. The recent snow storm left the mountains full of snow and, with the brilliant cloudless sky, gave meaning to the now hackneyed word awesome.
In addition to walking some trail or other, one of our favorite things to do is have lunch at Jenny Lake Lodge, a marvelous lodge with cabins that was once the Danny Ranch. On this visit, because we had the point and shoot, we played tourist ( for you) and had the waiter take our picture.
The above shot is from the porch of the lodge. Not a bad front yard.

The top shot is The Grand Teton. The french trappers coming to the valley from the western side of the range could see only the very top of the three highest peaks of the range. Clearly a tad randy, too long on the prairie without a femme - mon dieu, pierre, what do those look like to you?- they named them Les Trois Tetons, the three breasts.
