Cottonwoods along the edge of the Grand Teton Canal catch late day light in Teton Valley, Idaho. #cottonwoodtrees #tetonvalleyidaho #driggsidaho #atorcuttphotography #springtimeidaho cynthia June 7, 2023 Uncategorized You Might Also Like After four sunny days this sky appeared at the end of the day, as I was skiing the Alta Ski Track. This venue is a five minute drive from our Driggs, Idaho home. Trail conditions are outstanding after the added snow last week! #driggsidaho #altawyoming #bestofthegemstate #orcuttphotography.com #tetonvalleyidaho February 15, 2023 Bobby Socks Trees, Yellowstone National Park. Several weeks ago we drove to Yellowstone for the weekend, and noticed these white bottom tree trunks. From Wikipedia we learned about the cause: “These are lodgepole pines that died by shifting hot spring run-off. By capillary action the trees soaked up mineral laden water, which colors their bases white and retards decay. Dissolved minerals in the water deposited a crust of white silica on the bottom of the dead trees and stumps. This silica, a non-crystalline compound, slowly impregnates the wood and over time, with the absence of oxygen, could eventually petrify the wood. These skeletons have stood here for decades.” #bobbysockstrees #yellowstonenationalpark #lodgepolepines May 9, 2024 Wild sky to the northwest last night over Rolling Fatties backyard bar, the Sniki Bar in Kingfield, Maine. I guess the old saying, “Red at night, sailors delight. Red in the morning, sailors take warning”, does not always ring true! Lee may have had something to do with it. #kingfieldmaine #rollingfatties #snikibar #tropicalstormweather #mainesunset September 16, 2023
