The western sun hotter than blazes,
everyone looking for relief
from the rippling rays,
so evening comes as quick as a thief.

| Western view from our house |
We travel north to escape our plight,
from the endless hot days of summer,
and find a few high mountains
that are cooler.
 |
| Grand Tetons |
Living in the Tetons of the west
is really for tough hombres,
but for tourist like us
the beauty of this place will bring future memories.

| Clouds over Teton Village |
On the way to Jackson
old abandoned structures adorn the way,
in towns and along roads
they make our day.
 |
| A house near Bear Lake |
Little house on the prairie
not for me,
Inside plumbing nowadays has thrones
pioneers never did see.
 |
| Somewhere in Wyoming |
Paris and London, small towns
along the road,
have a variety of structures
and stories mostly untold.
 |
| A ghost house? |
Even this old church house
whose bricks look pretty good,
needs repair, perhaps a new door
and some sturdy new wood.
 |
| Old church |
Well, this gargoyle pictured below,
must have been placed there to keep an eye on the people.
Why the wire is tied to its left hand,
I'll never know.
