At JBRIsh, which really is not gibberish, we enjoy a good pun as much as anyone and perhaps a bit more. Our readers, friends and others send them to us all the time. I thought it was about time that we shared those puns which we find most amusing. Of course your mileage may vary, but we do hope at least some of them bring a smile to your face. A good pun is a gem, but one that is not so good is just PUN-ishment!
Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, ‘I’ve lost my electron.’ The other says, ‘Are you sure?’ The first replies, ‘Yes, I’m positive.’
A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was cited for littering.
I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.

The fattest knight at King Arthur’s round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi.
Do you have a favorite pun or a real groaner? If so, send it along in the comment section and perhaps it will make our most appreciated list!

While hiking at Hetch Hetchy along the Wapama Falls Trail we saw a number of pretty wildflower. These purple Brodiaea elegans blooms against the backdrop of the brown hay-like growth created a lovely scene (IMHO).

Two trail markers mounted high on a tree along the Taft Point Trail
While hiking along the Taft Point Trail, it was unusual (at least for me) to look up and see what was mounted on the tree above. Did you notice them? I must confess that I am just speaking from conjecture here, but I interpret these as being ski trail markers. The blue sign (see below) definitely has a skier on it.
I am also going out on a limb (pun alert) by suggesting that the yellow marker (see below) is also a trail marker of sorts and is intended to stick out from the tree as it appears that there is a mounting flap that is broken which would be able to hold the sign horizontally so it can be seen from a distance.
If any readers know for sure, please confirm via a comment below. If my assumptions are incorrect, please help me clarify for JBRish readers.

The snow must get awfully high to have these trail markers elevated so or perhaps they do this to prevent vandalism, etc.!

As most of JBRish readers know, I am an amateur photographer. I have explained my photography philosophy on my blog before, but let it suffice to say that I am an “opportunistic” photographer. I do not wait for a scene to unfold, but I capture those scenes before me that resonate in some way.
As an enthusiastic hobbyist, I am trying to learn to use Adboe’s Lightroom and some associated ad ons. I have only begun this journey so if you find that my submissions via this website are lacking, kindly understand that I am learning along the way.
Below is a picture of some of the mountains we encountered while hiking the Grand Teton National Park’s Cascade Trail. The day was overcast with very little color, but when converted to black and white, I think the picture has a special quality. What do you think? Leave any suggestions, remarks, etc. in the comment section below.

Lembert Dome as viewed from one of the parking areas
I have posted pictures from Lembert Dome prior to this, but I thought it would be a good idea to show the entire dome. I will post more pictures of the trail and some scenery as we ascended to the very top in the future. This image was captured near one of the parking areas.
NOTE: Lembert Dome elevation is 9,449′
