I’ve been having some computer trouble, so it’s a nice change to revisit more pix from the NxNW flight. So relaxing to rest my eye again on this one just after takeoff from Jackson Hole Airport.
8262 Teton Takeoff
Not many airports offer a view like this within four minutes of takeoff in a small plane. Keep in mind this was only a tiny section of the panorama before us. Seems all the more amazing now, and looking at this pic takes me right back into that sensory feast even at this distance in time and space.
8377 Lakeshore Landscape
Along the highway next to the lake were many areas like this, and we wondered if some geysers might be there too though we never saw one. Looks like people have laid logs into some of the ponds. I especially like the spring at top center that looks like some sci fi critter with tentacles. Also the deep one at bottom-right.
Maybe we’ll go flying tomorrow… 🙂

Hi John & Anne,
I’m going to suggest that a couple of friends – themselves bloggers – sign up for your blog. One is a composer, Alex Shapiro, who I think you both would enjoy meeting one day. She and her husband, Charles, now live in San Juan Island. Check out her blog: http://www.alexshapiro.org/blog/. Alex and Charles are good friends of Ann and Mike Dockendorf. Ann and Mike started a brand new career at 60 years old – alpaca ranching – in Oregon. They love having visitors. Their farm is outside Eugene. I think Ann would enjoy subscribing to your blog. You can get acquainted with the passion of Ann’s life – her alpacas – at her blog. http://aragonalpacas.blogspot.com/ Ann doesn’t get much time to keep up with her blog but I think she’d enjoy seeing the photos and entries about your travels. Ann’s daughter, Jennifer, a physician, is a remarkable person – and so is her husband and 2 daughters. I think Jennifer (who now lives in Seattle) would like subscribing to your blog; she subscribes to many blogs and I think yours would be so uplifting for her because of your stunning photos, the descriptions of your travels as well as your philosophical entries.
Well have fun flying this weekend,
Carla
