When this kid was 3.5 years old, a relative gave him a used point and shoot Kodak digital camera. He immediately picked it up and put the viewfinder to his eye. It struck me that I probably didn't know another child that would instinctively do that; all other kids looked at a digital screen. He was obviously a photographer's child. He's a sponge, has a great eye, and takes great photos on his own, every chance he gets.

Not all who wander are lost. To that end, I don't know if I was in Glacier National Park, Flathead National Forest, or simply traveling their border for this summer sunrise, but it was stunning, all the same. Somewhere in Northern Montana.

Multi-year renovations were set to begin at the United States Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel shortly after I visited the first (and last) time, 2 years ago. Therefore, I passed by a few times since, eagerly awaiting its re-opening. Over this Labor Day weekend, knowing I'd be in the area, I looked it up to see if, by some miracle, renovations were complete. Color me surprised to learn that renovations had been delayed three times, and were set to begin *today*. While I will miss being able to visit the next few years, I am beyond grateful that I got to visit one more time on Saturday! For those not familiar with it, the Cadet Chapel was designed by Walter Netsch of SOM (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill) and construction was completed in 1962, the same year as my own mid-century modern home. It is a true masterpiece, and a must-EXPERIENCE for any other architect-photographers out there!

Remember the recent shot I shared with one of two wolves and a grizzly "sharing" a kill in Yellowstone? Well, this impressive guy also walked into the same scene, but much closer and on my side of the river. I joked that if an elk showed up, I'd get the wildlife shot to use for all the gift shop merchandise - wolf, grizzly, bison, and elk. I'd throw moose in there, but I have never actually seen one in Yellowstone and personally consider them much more of a Tetons (and other places) resident species.

Red-Tailed hawk, I *think*. Sometimes luck mixes with skill in capturing a shot. I took this through the opposite window from my seat in my vehicle, at 500 mm, and framed it exactly as you see here. That lens is a beast and I have no idea how the horizon is straight, the bird is in focus, and the door frame isn't showing. The lens barely fits in the vehicle, so maneuvering it for intentional, careful framing on the -ahem- fly is extra challenging! I can't say that I have had much luck in the past, catching birds in flight, but I am pretty happy with this shot, taken a bit south of Jackson, Wyoming and Grand Teton National Park.
