Since returning from our extended family trip to Wyoming, I'm wishing for the days when people rounded up friends, family, and unsuspecting neighbors to watch long vacation slideshows. There was a time when people did that, right?
As I watched all the other thousands of visitors take pictures of animals, mountains, thermal features, fellow travelers, and themselves, I did wonder where all these photos were going--surely not all on Facebook.
For my part, I'm thinking a little post-vacation blog series. In honor of those days of slideshows in the basement, I'll start with a batch that I loved in black and white--our visit to Old Faithful...
| Cousins getting good seats for the show. |
| My stylish niece. |
| Something about a crowd of people with phones in the air. I kind of love it. |
| There she blows. |
| My girl filming for her post trip movie. I love everything about this--her intensity, her cousin's Mona Lisa smile and sunglasses, and the crowd behind. |
| Loved the photo action to my right too. |
| Simmering down. |
| The cousin crew at the sign. A tourist from another continent had just walked by and taken a picture of American kids at the sign. I had to explain that they were fair game, a part of the scenery. |
