childhood unplugged: august

it’s difficult to even know where to begin when describing the wonder that we experienced on our trip to yellowstone and back.  every place was so uniquely beautiful.  and the people were even better.  when we were looking at our summer trying to plan a getaway, a strategically placed weekend off meant we could make our first trek to visit my sister and her family who live in mammoth on the northern edge of yellowstone park.  our route was dictated by the desire to connect with dear friends in high river, so though we took the long way, it was well worth it.

so here it is, the journey from western british columbia to the shuswap to southern alberta to the united states border to northern montana and finally the edge of wyoming.  some planned stops, some not, pictures taken from mountain tops and through car windows.

    Ah, Sharalee, you made my heart rejoice and ache at the same time. I grew up just east of Yellowstone Park. In fact, my grandma lived near the east gate of THE park. So beautiful and mysterious at the same time. Your photos did it justice, thank you for sharing. lori
