Photos Used In This Blog

Many of the photos I use in this blog will be made using my smartphone and others with my DSLR camera. I hope you will not mind me posting with the smartphone since we can do it while we are on the move and from any location where we have phone service. I think the smartphone photos will be of lower quality so I hope you will understand.

Sunday... Rain Again

We have not done much today. When we woke up this morning it was raining and has rained at times the remainder of the day. It has been deeply overcast. We don't see such dark days at home like this except in winter. Sometimes it has looked as if it was getting dark like after sunset. We decided that we were just not going to try to go exploring in Yellowstone today and just come to the town of West Yellowstone (Montana) and just relax a bit and update this blog. Of all times for Windows 10 to update, it picked this afternoon to do it. I have been waiting for a very long time for Windows to complete the update but it finally did finish here at McDonalds.
If you have not been to West Yellowstone, I will try to describe it. It is a small town filled with tourist type stores, and everything we have seen is very pricey. Of course, they have to make their money for the year during the tourist season which makes it understandable why their prices are higher than most other places.
Yesterday, we did get a short break in the weather and went to Artist Point. That is the viewpoint for Lower Falls in Yellowstone. I knew that Inspiration Point was closed due to construction and I feared that was the viewpoint for Lower Falls that I liked so much in the past but it was not. Artist Point is the viewpoint that I liked to visit to get the beautiful photos of Lower Falls. Unfortunately, the lighting was terrible for a good photo. Below are a couple of photos of Lower Falls. I am sorry the photos are not better than they are.
