Drop - Day 247

I was thinking about a picture for today and it started pouring rain. I got out the zoom lens and snapped some shots.

Flowers Again - Day 246

Yesterday I took a crappy picture of a rock.  So today I took a bunch of pictures of flowers.  Here is one.

Flowers - Day 245

Tonight I didn't know what to take a picture of, so I just took some pictures of flowers.  I don't have a macro on my new camera (very sad), and I refuse to use the old camera (stubborn arrogance). This is one of the pictures that I got.

Vacation Picts - Days 232 - 244 (Part 3)

Tower Falls in Yellowstone.

CrabGirl and CrabBoy standing in front of the falls in the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.

A grizzly bear.

A pelican.  I took a bunch of pictures of the pelican on the water.  None of these turned out very well at all.  Then a woman walked up to the water and the pelican took off, and I got this picture.

Once again, we got a little unlucky with the weather in Grand Teton.  We couldn't actually see the mountains at all during our time there.  It was better than at Devil's Tower, but it was still a bit sad.  I have two shots to highlight the mountain pictures.  Here is the first.

The last three shots are here!

The first is the second picture of the mountains.  On our third day in the Tetons, the sun came out a bit, but the mountains were still in clouds. Oh well...

This is from Cheyenne, WY.  I am not sure what goes on in this building, but it really makes you think that the government is listening to you. Not a great picture, but, holy sh*t.

The final picture is another abstract one.  I took these abstract pictures because CrabBoy asked me to take some pictures that he could use as a screen background image.  I took maybe 10-15 of these types of shots, and I think that they turned out beautiful.  They are relatively easy to do, since they are completely flat, but I think that they are beautiful anyways.

The vacation continues!

This is a picture of Devil's Tower, but you just can't see it!

A little abstract art here.  It is a picture of the ground in Yellowstone, where things can be colored differently.

A waterfall.  Quite common in Yellowstone. I took a bunch of pictures of this, just to see what it would look like in different speeds.  I think that I like the slowest speed, which shows the fluidity of the water.

Do you have food for me?

I like this one because of the subtle little heart in the lower left.  I took a bunch of pictures of this, the Roaring Mountain, when I noticed the heart.  I zoomed out and took this.

It is clear that I have fallen behind in my duties in terms of posting to my blog.  I do have a valid excuse, though, since I was away from the internet for many, many days, and very busy the other days.  We drove from our current state out to South Dakota and Wyoming, then back.  It was a total of more than 4000 miles of driving.  Needless to say, I saw a lot of things and took a few pictures (1809 pictures on my camera, and 653 on the compact camera, which CrabGirl was in charge of, to be precise).  Since I obviously can't post even close to this many pictures (CrabMama did upload about 320 pictures to Picasa), I will post a very small selection (1% of the pictures that I took, or 18).

In this post, I show some shots of the first few days:

This is in the Bad Lands. 

Also in the Bad Lands.

I would show a picture of Mt. Rushmore, but I think that you have all seen one, so I will show a picture of goat instead.

I never new that the Needles in the Black Hills existed.  Here is a sample.

Last picture.  This is from Jewel Cave.
