Grand Teton

I took so many pictures while in Grand Teton National park that it took me a while to decide what to post.  I hope you like reflection shots, I do so there are quite a few here.  I stayed in the park at one of the campgrounds. 

As far as wildlife, I saw moose -

Grizzly Bear (note this picture was taken with my camera at it’s maximum optical and digital zoom, so it’s not the best of pictures.  He was eating an elk, but decided not to post the one that I have of that),

Red Squirrels (and other small animals), but this one was too cute to not post -

Now for some of the scenery.  I went on several hikes and below are pictures from either the hikes or just some of the scenic drives.

  2. Those pictures would be good for jigsaw puzzles.
