Traffic Woes....

Ah....the woes of getting caught in a traffic jam.

We were clever enough to get to just west of Denver, 

on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend.

Well....at least there was something pretty to look at.

And, plenty of time to to look at it.

But, even in more remote places, there are traffic jams.

Getting up early to head out to Lamar Valley in 

Yellowstone National Park, 

to see if we could see some wildlife.

Even early, sometimes you catch up with the 'traffic'.

These guys weren't too interested in hurrying.

You don't want to push the issue with them, though.

An auto wouldn't have much of a chance, if this guy gets a case of

Road Rage.

The Best Laid Plans...

We've been back in Wyoming.

We planned a trip to Yellowstone National Park, 

a year ago.  Way before our daughter ended up moving up here.

Before and after our time in Yellowstone, we've been back in

Pinedale.  We love it here.

Last week, we got up extra early, so we could drive the 89 miles to Grand Tetons
in time to catch the morning sun.  It's on our way to Yellowstone.

But, nature had other ideas.  The morning was really foggy.

In places, we could barely see the road.

The Tetons were shrouded in clouds.

And, shortly after these photos, they disappeared completely.




So much for best laid plans....

Good Morning....

It's a beautiful morning.

Sunlight streaming into the Fenced Yard, makes things sparkle.

They've forecast some rain....maybe today or tomorrow.

But, not yet.

The Hyacinth Bean is doing it's thing.

And, the Esperanza is finally blooming.

There are pretty blooms on this Gaura.  I'm not pleased with the plant itself.

It'll probably get moved to more sun, this fall.

And, speaking of fall...

We're getting ready for the bucks, when they begin to rub the velvet

off their antlers.

They seem to love the yuccas and agaves, for doing that.

It just shreds them....and, ruins them.

I don't like having plants living in cages.

But, what I like even less, is having to replace those plants.

I hope you're having a great morning, too.

Once in a Blue Moon....

The old saying means something uncommon...something rare.

The second full moon, in one month...it's rare.

According to NOAA,

The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration,

it only happens once every three years.

It took me until morning to see it.

Next time up, 2015.

Happy Gardening...
