Monday Morning Weekly Commute
Well, as many of you know I work in Jackson Hole. Most weekends I head back to Rexburg for a variety of reasons: Family, Friends, Rusty, Photography, etc. . . Usually I take of Friday after work and head back Monday morning. To make it back in time for work on Monday morning 9am requires waking up earlier then is to my likings. However, the drive is beautiful and the road is fun to drive. Some times the drive is faster then other times depending on weather conditions.
This last Monday I did a little photography during my drive in what ended up in a way a document of the changing of light more then the view. So here is the result of using a point and shoot while driving between 35mph and 60mph in low light.
Leaving Rexburg. 6:54am
First view of Tetons and sunrise. 7:19am
Fog near Teton River, Teton Basin. 7:23am
Teton view after fog, from Teton Valley, before Tetonia. 7:27am
Near state line, starting up Teton Pass. 8:01am
First sunlight. Taylor Mountain, above Coal Creek. North side of pass. 8:07am
Cresting Teton Pass. Morning traffic. 8:11am
10% grade and ice. More Traffic. Sunshine finally. 8:12am
Someone else's morning activity. sigh. 8:13am
Valley fog and inversion. Jackson's Hole and the Snake River Canyon. 8:17am
On the bottom side of the inversion. Valley Fog. Near Wilson. 8:26am
Frost on pine trees while walking from parking lot to work. Downtown Jackson. 8:50am
Since I was early, I stopped by the post office. So for those that were wondering, it doesn't take 25 minutes to drive from Wilson to Jackson.
The drive takes anywhere from 1hr20min in the summer to 2hr20min or so in the winter when roads are bad. On this day, the roads were pretty good and traffic was light.
Total mileage: 76.8
And that is my Monday Morning.

Are those deer as you're leaving Rexburg?
Nope, just reflectors or something on the side of the road. How many deer have you seen in Rexburg? Moose, maybe. But Deer, probably not.
Hi.. I love your blog even though you think not a lot of people read it. I am always captivated by your pictures. I love the passion you have, it shows in your pictures. Is that what you do?? Or is just a hobby? If not, I encourage you to pursue it.
Thanks for sharing your blog and pictures...

Thank you for the nice comment Marisabel. I am curious how you stumbled across my blog.
To answer your question, photography is my passion, my education, my profession. Currently I don't do photography for a living but I work for a photographer as a photo editor and more. I have 2 degrees in photography so I think that makes it a little more then a hobby. However, with not getting paid for my photography I guess it is as good as a hobby.
Thanks again for your comments.
I am not sure if you have a sister that has a blog and she is in one of our groups and I visited her blog and your blog was there so I clicked and since then is in my favorites.. I come here all the time and I love it!!
I can't believe you don't get paid for your photography, is really amazing and you are so good at it.
Your pictures are way better than probably people that have theirs out there and getting paid for it.
I can see you love it, you never know one of this days you'll get credit for it.
Thanks for sharing again...
