I’ve been working on getting up more often for sunrise while there’s plenty of green on the ground, something I missed out on last summer. With it being my first summer up here then, I was surprised at how quickly things change around here. As a result I’ve been pushing myself to catch more sunrises this summer and especially get out hiking once all the snow has melted from the mountains. The other day I woke up at 5:15am and just barely caught the sun beginning to hit the peaks of the Teton Mountains from Schwabacher Landing in Grand Teton National Park. There were a few other photographers there as well from out of town and each of us heard what sounded like a moose splashing behind some trees, hoping for it to make an appearance. It never did, unfortunately, but the scene was still an extremely peaceful and inspiring scene to see.
