Jackson Hole 2010: Jackson Lake
Tuesday, 5 October 2010, 5:00am
Jackson Lake at Teton National Park. After spending some time at Jenny Lake, we made our way past Willow Flats Overlook and headed north toward Jackson Lake Overlook. It was beautiful with the trees, the lake and the sun. The sun was starting to set making for some wonderful photographs.

Fall Colors in Teton National Park. Just some additional fall color photographs taken from Willow Flats Overlook and up along the road toward Jackson Lake Overlook. It was getting later in the afternoon and some clouds were slowly rolling in from the North West making for some great photographs. Enjoy.

Jenny Lake at Teton National Park. We spent some time on the south side of Jenny Lake and then went up to the north end and by the time we got there, the wind had calmed down and the lake was like glass. There is a scenic drive to get to the Jenny Lake Overlook. It was beautiful.
Jackson Hole 2010
Sunday, 3 October 2010, 8:02pm
Jackson Hole 2010. We decided to take a weekend trip up to Jackson, Wyoming and enjoy Teton National Park. I brought along my camera and was able to capture some great photographs and the beautiful fall colors. We left Friday afternoon and got into the Teton Village after 9pm and crashed for the night. Saturday was spent running around Teton National Park and capturing pictures. We watched the sunset at Oxbow Bend and went back into town. Sunday we enjoyed the sunrise and made our way back to Salt Lake.
I managed to take over 1000+ pictures and have many to share. I used my Nikon D300 and my AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lens for most of the photographs. My Canon SD780 IS captured a few. The tripod was used for a majority of the shots. The photographs were prepared using Aperture 3. I used Photomatix Pro for the HDR picture. Enjoy the pictures. There are many more coming…

Fall Colors
Sunday, 26 September 2010, 10:32pm
Fall Colors. We decided to go for a drive this afternoon up Big Cottonwood Canyon and I brought along the camera. It has been a few weeks since I broke out the Nikon D300 and I was struggling a little to compose and capture some images tonight. I didn’t use my tripod and was running around without much patience to really grab a great shot. The drive was really nice. The weather was fantastic and the colors are beautiful. Enjoy.

Big Cottonwood Canyon
Saturday, 4 September 2010, 6:30am
Big Cottonwood Canyon. A few weeks ago Charlie and I decided to drive up Big Cottonwood Canyon to enjoy our Sunday afternoon. It was the 11th of July and it was a warm day down in Salt Lake valley and it was really nice to be able to drive up the canyon and enjoy the cooler weather and beauty of the mountains. The canyon is actually a really fun drive and probably about 15 to 20 cooler than the valley. I snapped a few pictures from my camera and really like how this one turned out. Enjoy.

Ice Cream Cookie Cake
Sunday, 29 August 2010, 6:30am
Ice Cream Cookie Cake. Back toward the end of May, we held a little get together at the house and Charlie decided to home make an Ice Cream Cookie Cake using his special Williams-Sonoma Sandwich Cookie Pans that he secretly purchased and hid somewhere in the house. Everything in the cake was home made including the vanilla ice cream. We probably should have left it in the freezer a little bit longer but that didn’t effect the taste at all. It was delicious. The cake was very rich and super delicious. Enjoy.

Salt Lake Sunset
Sunday, 22 August 2010, 3:01pm
Salt Lake Sunset. Today is my last day of summer before school starts up again tomorrow. It has been a fun summer with lots of fun activities and great memories. A few weeks ago while visiting some friends, we were able to watch the sunset and I was able to capture this picture with my little point-and-shoot camera. My goal is to carry my Nikon more frequently so I can take some better pictures. It was a beautiful warm summer evening and the colors were amazing.
