Vacation Selfies

15th November 2024

Cellphone Photos

In past years we hardly had any photographs of ourselves while on vacation.

This has all changed with the advent of the cellphones with their builtin high quality cameras.

We took two mini-vacations this past September and October. Fortunately my arm was long enough to capture these pictures.

Here we are on the salt flat at Bonneville, Utah. Afterwards we had to wash the caked on salt off of our shoes
Enjoying the Grand Tetons on a chilly morning at String Lake
In Glacier National Park we walked on the beach in Apgar at Lake McDonald.
Here is Kris at a Logan Pass overlook in Glacier
On a very windy day at the top of the mountains along the Beartooth Highway.
Resting after a short hike in the Badlands NP.

If you’re photographing scenery or landscapes with your cellphone don’t forget to include yourself.! Hooray for selfies.

From our sister company these stickers are for the parks that we visited StickItToYourCar.com that I used to decorate our car’s bumper.

Back from the Parks

September Park Photos

We’re back from our September cross country vacation. This article is delayed a bit since we took a second trip out west in October. Now that I’ve had some time to organize, I’ll share a few pictures from September – concentrating on wildlife and some scenics.

One of our first visits was to Mono Lake in California.
These craggy structure is called a tufa. They are unique to the Mono Lake ecosystem.
These pretty Indian Paintbrush plants along the shores of Mono Lake
A few days later and 1100 miles north we arrive at Glacier National Park. That’s the McDonald Creek in the valley below.
Beargrass cover many of the higher slopes in Glacier
This deer was grazing close to the road near Logan Pass
Logan Pass sits near the top of Going-To-The-Sun Road. This trail takes you to Hidden Lake adjacent to Bearhat Mountain
Looking from above into one of the many valleys in Glacier.
We drove south to Mammoth Hot Springs in the north part of Yellowstone.
I spotted a Clark’s Nutcracker on a short walk along one of the trails
Here’s a close up look at one of the travertine terraces at Yellowstone’s Mammoth Hot Springs
A small group of bighorn sheet grazing in the Lamar Valley
A herd of bison marching in the Lamar Valley.
Using a long lens I captured these mountain goats a few hundred yards away in the Barronette area of Yellowstone.
The Badlands was the final park that we stopped at this trip out west.
The range of the bison includes The Badlands in South Dakota.

Here’s a few national park stickers from our sister company StickItToYourCar.com that decorate our car’s bumper.

We hope you liked seeing some of the pictures from our September vacation.
