Foliage Reports September/October 2018 

Plan Ahead! Expect a 30-50 minute delay at the Gros Ventre Roundabout today and for the next four or five days. You won’t want to be stuck in a line of traffic while the pink skies are happening at your destination sunrise spot!.” Note: On Saturday, construction didn’t begin until 7:30 am. 
Roads: If you are driving between Jackson and Rock Springs on Highway 191, keep an eye on the Highway Reports. The highway is occasionally closed near Bondourant due to the Roosevelt fire. Moulton Barn in Grand Teton National Park Quick Foliage Overview: I am still seeing a mixed bag of conditions. In some areas, it’s over. It’s prime in others like Oxbow Bend, and there are green trees in quite a few places. In other words, Foliage Season is far from over. Across the board, colors haven’t been as vivid this year as in some of the previous years. The photo above was taken yesterday with dark, moody skies. Nikon D850 and Nikon 24-70mm lens, Handheld.

September 1st: Saturday of the Labor Day Weekend!

Slim JimThere are 52 weeks in a year. Of the 52, only one of them offers a chance to see bull Moose stripping their velvet. Most photographers like capturing the event, while some, like my wife, shy away from seeing the bloody velvet hanging from their red antlers. Photographing a bull Moose stripping its velvet is actually a tough assignment for a variety of reasons. First, it isn’t that easy to find a bull Moose in a 310,000 park. Second, and more importantly, it’s not easy to find one at the exact moment. A bull can strip the bulk of its velvet in 15 to 30 minutes, but will often have a tassel hanging from the base of the antlers for a while longer.

During September, I’ll work on two pages simultaneously. This September Foliage 2018 post will contain more specific information about the ever changing foliage status in the area. The September 2018 Daily Journal for JH and GTNP page will contain some foliage information, but will focus more on wildlife and landscapes. You’ll want to go to both regularly. Note: Think of this page as a day to day or week to week resource containing mainly “record shots”. The photos are not intended to be “wall hangers”, but more documentary in nature. Also, this page will grow in size and scope as the month progresses. Check back regularly! Continue reading "Foliage Reports September/October 2018"
