Sunrise Over Blacktail Ponds in Grand Teton National Park

Water flows toward the Snake River in the Blacktail Ponds as the rising sun hits the Teton Mountains.

My body insisted on staying in bed this morning, but it had been a while since I caught a good sunrise and I was determined to force myself to get out of bed. I headed up to Blacktail Ponds in Grand Teton National Park and rather than sticking to the overlook, I headed down into the ponds and slushed through a path to capture this photo, among many others.

Sure a bed can be extremely cozy, especially when you’re waking up early and haven’t gotten a full night’s sleep. Sleep, however, can be caught up on. Sunrises like this don’t repeat themselves. Just keep that in mind.

Free Roaming Photography, Photography by Mike Cavaroc, is my portfolio and vision of the natural world. As a nature and wildlife photographer, I am striving to reach the angles of landscapes that haven't been documented before as well as finding the dramatic nature of wildlife in its natural state.

Based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I thoroughly explore the wonders of Grand Teton National Park and its surrounding areas, including the Gros Ventre Wilderness, Yellowstone National Park and much more.

I've come to love this region much more than anywhere I've lived, and with your helpful support, I can continue to give back to this community that keeps me enthusiastic each and every day. Read more...
