Tetons

If you've never experienced the Tetons, you are truly missing out on one of the most awesome, spectacular places on Earth (and maybe even in Heaven). There is something about the rugged beauty of these mountains that fills me with peace and bliss and bit of longing. I've seen them in the dead of winter, slumbering under several feet of snow. I've seen them blooming in the spring and trembling with summer storms in July and August; ablaze with reds and oranges in fall. I've seen them waking up in the early morning hours and hunkering down at night. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, like the feeling of approaching the Tetons as my plane descends into Jackson. Despite their rugged peaks, they are welcoming to me. And I know, despite my desert address, this will always be home.
