While out doing my usual weekend fishing, I came across some flowering bushes that were attracting a lot of butterflies. Since I don’t use my macro lens all that much, I was glad to take a break from fishing and put it to good use.
A roughly 14″ cutthroat trout caught and released today in the Hoback River.
As is typical in summer, Jackson Hole has been getting a steady stream of thunderstorms the past couple of weeks. Today I hiked into the Gros Ventre Wilderness (to fish of course) and had two storms blow through. The below image was taken on my way out with the distant Tetons framed by the Red Hills.
This is one of the few images I have taken in the past few weeks; see the previous post for explanation. I was on my way home Sunday after fishing all day, when I came across a small herd of bison crossing the road in Teton Park.
I apologize for the lack of posts lately, but my attention has been elsewhere – the summer fishing season is here. My free time has been consumed by fly-fishing at the expense of my photography. I always have my camera with me though, so I’ll make it a point to take more photographs. The below image is of a small Snake River Fine-spotted Cutthroat I caught and released in the Gros Ventre River today.
This weekend my parents are in town for a visit, so we decided to take a little road trip. On Saturday we drove through Yellowstone on our way up to Beartooth Pass, and today we took the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway to Cody and then back through Yellowstone. Though the scenery was incredible, I didn’t take too many pictures. Below are few that I did take.

When viewed from the north, the Cathedral Group (Grand Teton, Mount Owen and Teewinot) is quite impressive. To go along with the scale of the peaks, the setting sun lights them up nicely at the end of the day. This was the scene as I walked back to my car after doing a little fishing at Jenny Lake.
