Survival - A persistent wildflower at the top of the world.
Survival - A persistent wildflower at the top of the world., originally uploaded by Carl's Photography.
On the trail, Top of the World, on the top of one of the Teton mountains in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, I found this little yellow flower sticking out of the rock and gravel. The wind howled over the top of the mountain traveling from the west in Idaho over the mountain into Wyoming. Somethings can survive no matter what it seems.

Hiking down the mountain and surveying the valley below.
Hiking down the mountain and surveying the valley below., originally uploaded by Carl's Photography.
When we visited Jackson Hole, Wy and Teton Village, we hiked all the way down the mountain. At about this point, we were stumbling from the hours of walking down the trail. It was a beautiful day and the valley in between the mountains was beautiful.

Purple Star Field During Winter
The temperature had warmed up to the mid 20-30s. I went out and photographed around 8 pm. I stood in the backyard in the shadow of the house. I wore coveralls, coat, face mask and heavy gloves. Amazing low light performance out of the D7000. This is ISO 6400 at 10 secs. I even managed to get a shooting star/meteroite.

Mountain Hiking to Harney's Peak in Black Hills National Forest
Mountain Hiking to Harney's Peak in Black Hills National Forest, originally uploaded by Carl's Photography.
We started hiking at Sylvan Lake in Black Hills National Forest Park. This photo is taken about hour up the trail. Already you can see a long ways into the distance. The foreground of the photo shows the dead pine trees because of the beetle infestation. It was hard to get an unobstructed view of the sky, and so I had edit out a couple of trees that blocked part of the view. I like seeing the different layers of hills in the distance.
