Grand Tetons in Spring

@Magda: Thank you Magda - I was just commenting to my wife on how wonderful your recent images are - you have a real gift for photography of children.

@Terry: Thank you Terry - I will admit that the foreground came out darker than I wanted, and did some dodging in PS to lighten it up some. I exposed for the peaks - and then dodged some light in the foreground pointing towards the tallest peak (ever so slightly).

@Dulcie: still here until sunday -- family vacation -- thanks for the well wishes - it's beautiful here.

@zOOm: Yes, I'm fortunate to be here. I count my blessings every day. It's a beautiful place, that helps me remember how wondrous this world is.

@Veronelle: thank you - I thought the little yellow helped with the photo composition.

@dj.tigersprout: They are amazing - they rise straight up for nearly six thousand feet from the floor of the valley. It's very special, especially with the surroundings being kept so pristine with our national parks preserving them.

@Lorraine: thank you Lorraine - it's a beautiful place, and those flowers aren't out for very long - it's great to be here with them blooming.

@Marie-Hélène Ammor: Thank you - Grand Tetons is the name in English, may be the same in French - I really can say little more than Merci in French.;..

@Roman: Thanks Roman - glad you like the contrasts of the mountains and plains below

@Onlymehdi: thanks Mehdi.

@Susan: Thank you Susan. Glad you like the landscape.

@MARIANA: Thank you Mariana - it's a pretty stunning place: one that movies would surely use...

@Jason Kravitz: thank you Jason - it was fun being out in the open spaces for a little while, some time for photography: but mostly a great family trip overall.

@Mandy Provan: it's good you have a list, but let's hope you have many decades to work that list. It is beautiful here. Do make it soon, it's a fabulous trip.

@Ajay: I just drove in from yellowstone again today, arriving about midnight - and it's nearly a full moon. The Tetons are impressive any time, day or night: the moon illuminating the snow was magical as well. Not often you see a peak rise from a valley floor of 6300 feet to a peak height of over 13300 feet... There are still glaciers on the northeast side of the grand teton from many millinium ago. Thanks for such a kind comment on the blog.

@Sarah: Thanks Sarah - coming from a land with such beautiful mountains, that's high praise!

@john4jack: thank you jack - still learning, but I do like an interesting foreground to give scale and interest.

@B. Thomas: Well, it's really my first visit: so I guess I'm jealous of you knowing about them before I did :)... Thanks for the comment on the shot, and let's hope all of us get another chance to visit such beauty again soon.

@Dawn Bayer: Thank you Dawn - it caught me by surprise when I first saw them as well.

@Per: Thank you Per - always love specific feedback, you're the best.

@LauraS: Thanks Laura. I need to get up your way again soon - it must be beautiful near your home as well, especially this time of year.

@roentarre: thanks for the kind words on the image - I believe the setting makes the photo !

@Karthik: Thank you Karthik.

@Steve Rice: Thank you Steve - it's amazing landscape here in Wyoming...

@Barbara: Thank you Barbara - tomorrow's our last full day here, and the kids are having a blast: but there is a great deal of driving: there are large distances to travel, and the roads are great: but you must watch your speed, as there are commonly animals crossing the road... appreciate your visit, and I do think about how things are out your way.

@Barbara: You are a true friend for those that needed you. I am fortunate to know such folks truly exist. Thank you for what you did for her. Sorry to hear about the recent loss. Mourning takes time. Take care of yourself - it hits me hardest months later.

@jamesy: Thank you jamesy - it is one of my favorite shots from last week in wyoming.
