Fall colors in the Tetons are not the same as in NH but they offer their own special touches. Add in a bit of snow on the mountains and it’s really special.
Not only are there moose around but if you get up very early and can locate some elk you my be treated to watching a bull elk taking care of his harem (this means watching over the cows and driving away rivals) and bugling.
As the moose rut progressed the bulls were getting more active. One morning we got to watch this bull drive away a younger one then chase the early cow first i n one direction then in another. They were moving at good speed and sent some photographers running. They can turn on a dime and are as agile as a lot of horses.
Down by the river the willows grow very tall and thick. This provides food for the moose and also hides them very well. I tend to not go into the willows, you never know what may be in there with you!

That photo with clouds, snow and mountains is truly stellar!!! (First one on your post)… really special…
Thanks, it is an iconic image at Oxbow Bend, loads of people were there to capture the same image at sunrise. The fall foliage makes it really pleasing. I was there just long enough to get a few images then went to find the elk.
the fall pictures are beautiful Maxine
Thanks, Maxine, the fall colors there are glorious.
As always, Jean; you have once again captured some fantastic photos. And, as usual, you have left me envious of you time spent in the Tetons, and your photographic talents. Looking forward to seeing you again, soon……jc
Jean, truly love the snowy mountain photo.
Starting to look around our place for an appropriate wall.
So glad you like that one, Lynne. The fall colors and snow combine to make it special.
Thanks for your kind words, Jerry. I do love the Tetons, though if you go in the fall you have to be prepared for all sort of weather, including snow. It’s worth it to me, though, so I deal with what Mother Nature throws at me. I look forward to seeing you and Wanda at Q, if not before.
