In the garden before leaving home - Licorice & Marigolds |
The Denver skyline - on the way to shopping at the Asian market |
One of my favorite spots ;-) |
Wyoming - the sky cleared and turned...absolutely gorgeous |
Utah |
Utah again |
Idaho - mountain stream and pines |
Stream and cabin |
A beautifully restored steam traction engine |
Heading west - morning in eastern Washington |
Fields to the sky - central Washington State |
Overlooking the mighty Columbia... |
Barn with wind turbines in the background (and a bit of car window reflection - actually a rather neat effect in this particular picture) |
Up in the mountains that first formed my idea of mountains way back when. (The photo on the bottom half of my "Ellen" cover was taken up near here, but that's another story. ;-)) |
And...fall colors |
At...the...zoo!!!! :-) |
It was fairly misty, so a little tricky to get many animal pictures, but the foliage ones turned out great |
Spiderweb! |
There's an elephant... ;-) |
Northern wolves |
Our cows have this very expression when they want something. (This cow elk was watching us eat our lunch.) |
Brown bear |
After walking all over and back again he finally got tired |
Aslan |
New Short-Clawed Otters - the size of puppies they were too cute! |
In and out of the water |
And...the red panda did not want his picture taken - much too busy |
See? |
So I settled for the sign |
And then...the event :-)
Wedding roses! |
Aren't they gorgeous? |
Dahlias at the lovely (and delicious) rehearsal dinner |
Fun shoes! |
Back in Idaho |
Good pizza |
The pizzeria building used to be a garage |
Gelato! (I'd read about it, but never actually seen it in person.) |
This was hanging on the wall and reminded me of-well, you know-a certain costume drama :-) |
Tamarack pines against blue sky |
Some festive creatures with whom we formed an acquaintance |
Snow in the mountains - heading east |
Site of the Battle of the Little Bighorn. You can see the monument at the top of the hill - distant center |
And yes...again...one of my favorite shots of the entire trip ;-) |
Wyoming...lots and lots of pictures - story atmosphere!!!!! |
And...finally...home again, home again-safe and sound :-) |
