The Ambuehls, "On the Hills" (Glacier, Waterton, and Grand Teton National Parks)

Our last name means “on the hill” in German, and there’s no place that we are happier. In this post, which is the second in a series in which I am posting images made on our long summer road trip, enjoy these glimpses of our joy…even our mountain dog’s. – H
