WELCOME

Glad to have you visit Mountain Meadows Photographs. I hope you enjoy my view of nature. I am not one for a lot of words, so it is mostly photographs.

Unless noted all of the photographs are my original work.

Your Comments Are Welcome

ENJOY

Grand Teton National Park - Day Four

On our last day the skies were still mostly cloudy, but we saw a lot more of the sun.  We spent some time looking for and not finding bears.  We did find a variety of wildflowers and enjoyed the mountains.  I have tried to identify the flowers as best as I can.  The source of the identification is from "Mountain Plants of Northeastern Utah" by Berniece Andersen and Arthur Holmgren.  Since the book is over thirty years old the scientific names may have changed.
