Watching a storm develop. 

Storm moving in, and I started to move out. 

I have a small handheld digital camera that I take as a secondary shooter. It's got a flash, so I don't take it on the trail - it's settings are pretty simple. But, what I've found handy on previous visits, is the ability to join in that gangsta recreation, drive-by shooting. Except I use a camera. Besides this one and the later campsite shots on this camera, all of these shots were taken from within the car and while driving. Now about this shot. On my first day of my trip, I drove over to Victor, Idaho for breakfast, and passed the old Spud Drive In on the way. I didn't capture the actual drive in in this photo, but it's a still-functional icon.

Weather happening in the Tetons. 

There was a little snow on the beginning of my vacation, Memorial Day weekend and week. This is in the North section of the Tetons. 

Drive-by weather occurence. The temp was 52, but the precipitation was snow, melting on contact, with a mix of fog.

Unfortunate young canyon jay, and apparently oblivious automobile owner! 

This was a wakeup shot from campsite #1. 

This was the nicest campfire I've ever started and it was scarily easy. No accelerant used! 

This was my first morning on vacation. I flew into Jackson. But the next morning, I drove over Teton Pass into Victor, Idaho to the General Market cafe for an organic chorizo, and then to the Mike Harris campground for a quiet spot to eat it and breathe in all the spring mountain scents. I knew this would be a good trip because the place I chose for my breakfast picnic, an empty camping spot, I found 3 nice hunks of dried split wood that would later serve for a campfire.
