My best shot at fall color…
Here’s my best shot for fall color down in the Teton’s. IMHO, it’s — okay — but nothing special. Oh well.
Amusing side story to this image. I saw the color exploding off of the hill as we were driving by, decided it was a good place to stop and shoot. Hit the u-turn, came back and pulled off the road. Laurie went wandering off looking for critters to shoot in the field, I set up the tripod and went to work.
About ten minutes later, I surfaced from focussing on the images to realize about four other cars had pulled over. One had already declared they saw the critter I was shooting (but it just went behind that tree over there), They were all nice enough to (a) not get into my shot, and (b) not interrupt me while I was working [neither action being universally true these days...] but once I stood up, they asked me what I was photographing. I had to let them know it was the foliage.
They all ended up filtering back to their cars, the one person continuing to protest that he had, in fact, seen something up there. Maybe he did, too, but I didn’t, not that I was looking for it…
My first traffic jam…. Laurie and I had been joking that the rangers really needed to put out signs around the park at the jams saying “Bison”, “elk”, “We don’t have a clue, either” so that people could decide without getting out if they wanted to; the reality is, about the tenth time you stop to see a single bison hanging out chewing on a bush, it gets a bit old… And so laurie came back from chasing her critters to note that we really needed our own signs, only in this case, it should have said “only foliage!”
