Pacific Sublime
The open expanse of Pacific Creek beckons enroute to Two Open lake. On this early autumn day the tawny bronze and yellows of the native grasses and aspen merge.

Sunset Through the Smoke
The sun sets over Rendezvous mountain in the Teton Range, through the smoke and haze from California's wildfires
Good Night, Moon
A full moon rises just above the silhouetted peak of Sleeping Indian. For what seems like years, I would read this book -- perhaps their favorite - to my young daughters as they would slowly fall asleep to dream of places wide open and vast and free.
A Growing Cub
Grizzly 610, daughter of 399, and mother to two large cubs, is in the prime of her life and cuts a powerful figure.
Family Feeding
Grizzly 610 and her two large cubs, now more than two years old, root for grubs, ants and yarrow roots along Pacific Creek road. Next spring, 610 will send her cubs on their own as she prepares to mate again.
Autumn Aspens on Pacific Creek

Remembering You
Surrounded by fall's aspen, a pond reflects in Willow Flats. Aptly named, this "Moose Pond" frequently home to moose.
