Do you remember campaign buttons? I do.

These, which were part of the Voices and Votes display at the Wyoming State Museum this summer, brought back some good memories for me.

Since we're approaching election time in the States, I thought I'd feature some photos from the Smithsonian's Voices and Votes traveling exhibit that came to the Wyoming State Museum this summer.

Although I thought the red, white, and blue entrance to the exhibit was attractive, what intrigued me was intrigued Thomas Paine's quote, "We have it in our power to begin the world over again." It gave me an insight into the minds of the country's founding fathers at the same time that it made me wonder whether any country has the power to do that. 

What do you think?

Today's the last day of September and the last post from Vedauwoo ... at least for a while. 

I particularly liked the way the dead tree framed the panorama of aspens, evergreens and -- of course -- enormous rocks.

I hope you'll come back next month for more glimpses into Wyoming.

Look closely. Do the rocks in the center look like a rabbit to you? They do to me. 

Rocks that may or may not look like something else are one of the many things I like about Vedauwoo.

Sometimes it's the little things that catch my attention, like the lichen growing on these rocks at Vedauwoo. I was also intrigued by the exposed tree roots and wondered how the tree survived.

One of the popular sports at Vedauwoo is climbing the rocks. You definitely wouldn't catch me doing that, but seeing how small the climber looks gives you an idea of just how large these rocks are.

Fall is coming to Wyoming, the golden aspen adding a new dimension of beauty to Vedauwoo. 

What's Vedauwoo? A mecca for hikers, rock climbers, picnickers, and people who simply enjoy being outdoors. Best of all, for those of us who live in Cheyenne, it's only thirty miles west of the city.
