Oxbow Bend, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
This was taken on an early spring day very soon after the park opened for the season...it is a lovely area of the park.
Oxbow Bend is one of the most visually impressive places in Grand Teton National Park. Oxbow Bend is a wide and shallow horseshoe-shaped curve in the Snake River formed by the gradual erosion of the river’s banks.
Visitors flock to this viewpoint to enjoy the uninterrupted views of 12,605-foot-tall (3,842-meter) Mount Moran. On clear and sunny days, the mountain and its surrounding forest-covered valley mirror elegantly in the water to create an iconic image of the national park.
This year has been quite an experience...the first six months taking care of the needs of my friend who had a stroke...she is doing beautifully now I am happy to say, then a terrible health challenge with my husband with what was finally diagnosed as acute eosinophilic pneumonia. This is extremely rare, only about 200 reported cases, so it took awhile to track down what was going on. His condition can be read about at rarediseases.org....just type in eosinophilic pneumonia. He has completely recovered now, but it was an experience we don't care to repeat!
So that's why I haven't been around much. With the changes to Flickr, I am sure I will still be active, but will no longer be able to justify the expense of a pro account, so my posts will be less frequent. Anyway, I hope to continue to enjoy looking at all the fabulous shots my Flickr friend post and maybe I will actually be able to catch up with you now!
