p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · More Yellowstone in Winter

Hi,

My wife and I spent three days in northern Yellowstone last week, expertly guided by D. Robert Franz of this forum. Here's the best of what I captured. I believe the EXIF data are intact.

Enjoy!

1. Not the best photo, but the highlight of the visit was a brief glimpse of a pack of wolves far, far away. This is the best I could do with them.

2. This was the only bald eagle we saw; it also was far away, but I thought it was a pretty scene.

3. This one was struggling to get through the snow, post-holing ever couple of steps. I find bison to be awesome.

4. No beasties, but this was a rather surreal scene, with the sun behind fog, and the steam from Mammoth Hot Springs mixing with the tree, as the sun set.

5. A bunch of rams were lolling on a cliffside. These two caught my eye in particular. Their camouflage is good!

6. And this ram posed nicely for me, I thought.

7. This little coyote ran across the road right in front of us. I hopped out and followed it up a hill; I got this just before it vanished.

8. This little fox was taking a rest, not too far from the road.

9. Impressive beasts!

10. There was a line of bison crossing a river and running up the bank. I was surprised, and impressed, that such huge creatures could be so lively!

Have you considered taking a bit off the top of 2? 4 is a stunner and 8 quite good

Thanks, Morris! I have considered it, but I don't have a very good eye for such things. I'll take another look.

Agreed.

All are wonderful and a delight to view; #8 holds your attention and makes you want to reach out and pet the fox

But #4 makes my want to hit the "buy" button, and hang it on a wall ... IMO it could easily be sold commercially.

Did you stay in Gardiner? The south part of the park was closed...I think we saw a lot of the same critters.
