The mosaic is inspired by a summer trip to the Teton Mountains. I hiked the Canyon/Paintbrush Loop where the mountain views were spectacular, especially from the backcountry campsite in the Northern section of Cascade Canyon near Lake Solitude. Everything was so lush and green, the wild flowers were blossoming everywhere – the blue and yellow ones stood out to me the most but the reds and pinks were equally impressive.  A thunderstorm was brewing as my partner and I arrived at our campsite. We held our breath as it roared.

Following the storm a thick fog rose from the ground to fully cover the tall peaks and decrease visibility of the scenery.  Just as we watched it rise, we watched the fog fall back to the ground and reveal the spectacular scenery back to us.  The fog kept coming and going until it fully dispersed just as the sun began to set. We got to enjoy watching the mountains be bathed in the bright light.  We observed the marmots and the picas and even saw an antelope run across the meadow.  We fished in the lake, listened to the creek run past our camp as we enjoyed our supper. This was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited.  I used a variety of views from photos I’ve taken to design a scene which conveys my overall impression

Above is one of the photos I took in the morning, still catching some of the morning fog.
