Great National Parks' Photopalooza - Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone, and Glacier National Park

We checked in to the Cherokee Landing Thousand Trails park in Tennessee, plugged in and planted ourselves under the a/c for the predicted heat spell. For the first time since leaving Kalispell, Montana two months ago we have all the necessary ingredients in one place: Loretta with Lance's  photography computer, consistent shorepower, mostly solid internet, all the camera's memory cards handy and absolutely nothing else to do - for two whole weeks. Finally, an opportunity to catch up on all the National Parks photos. Thus far all the photos you've seen have come from my phone, here we go with the real cameras. Grab some popcorn. As with all our blogs, if you want to see bigger pictures you can double click any of the pictures for a slideshow.

The following Glacier National Park photos were mostly not Shutterstock appropriate for a variety of reasons but we are thought you might like them anyways:

Lake McDonald

The beautiful colored rocks of McDonald Lake

The two above pictures were shot within a few minutes of one another, the top one with Lance's newer camera and mine with the older Nikon D200. These have not been color-edited but both cameras were white balanced shortly before this moment, it's interesting to me how each of them sees color - my camera tends to lean a little magenta while Lance's tends to lean a little green.

A little too close dude (at exactly the moment I was shooting this from the driver's seat of the Mini, the big pickup behind me was honking and shouting at me to "Just Go!!!!!"

These pictures are not on Shutterstock, enjoy:

The little sailboat in the foreground is a MacGregor quite similar to one we used to have. The time lapse shows the "MacGregor Dance" beautifully.
