Wrapping up the end of day two in Grand Teton National Park.

(Full post, with additional photos, on my site: andrewflenniken.com/2025/03/07)

After being awed by the ghosts of the Tetons, I pulled my jaw up off the ground and hopped back in the Jeep. I figured that I'd finish the day where it started, in the Oxbow Bend area. I'd noticed in the morning that there was a road going around to the the other side of the Bend, a place the map labeled "Cattleman's Bridge Site". There was no signage off the main road for it, but it looked promising.  So after grabbing a last shot of Mount Moran for the day, down I went.

A couple of wildlife photos, in honor of World Wildlife Day.

Wildlife should matter to everyone, and does whether they realize it or not. Our environment is a system of systems, and those natural systems interact with human built ones in a multitude of ways large and small. Wildlife are the ambassadors for those systems. Healthy abundant wildlife means healthy wilderness, which makes those points of contact with human systems healthy. If you like clean air and clean water and the things that rely on them (hint: it's everything), wildlife and wilderness play a big role in those things existing. Defending them is self-defense. We're not separate from them in any meaningful way except physical distance.

Frequently not even that! The photos in today's post were taken in a town park (the elk), and on an afternoon whale watching tour.

Wildlife is closer than you think. Go see some! You'll enjoy it.

Gear: Nikon D750, Nikon Z 7II, Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3, Sigma 1.4 Teleconverter

Day two at Grand Teton National Park in 2023. In honor of Valentine's Day, we'll start with a photo of the heart of the range. :)

That morning I got up before dawn and headed to Oxbow Bend. The intent was to see if I could get a shot of elk coming down to the Snake River to drink, or foraging in the fields. I definitely heard them bugling nearby, but wasn't rewarded with seeing any. I did get a shot of a Great Blue Heron catching breakfast, though, and that was pretty nice.

Once the sun was up, I took the road up to the top of Signal Mountain, where I got that wonderful shot of the range.

Clouds were building all morning, and I was a little worried that the day would eventually get rained out. But that meant the sky was very active! To the north, puffy white clouds. To the south, dark and ominous. Both made for good photos.

Next Week: Midday and Unexpected Ghost Town.

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 S, Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3
