Congratulations to kdacharya for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 3 votes - View Previous Winners
My friend David Turko, who is an amazing photog, called me in March this year and said that he was going to be spending a month in the YNP and the Tetons in May and asked if I wanted to come down there for a week or so.Since I had never been to YNP I jumped on the chance. While we were shooting there we met with a wonderful couple Paulie and Barb, who were from Bozeman and came to the park very often. They actually gave us great company, nice tips and places to shoot and shared their hot meals with us. Thanks for the hospitality, Paulie and Barb. Hope to see you soon, either in the NE or in YNP.
There were many firsts for me, grizzlies, black bears etc. here goes.

Stunning shots! Well done. I have never have visited Yellowstone, but always wanted to. We have a lot of the same wildlife here in Alberta, but Yellowstone has the free roaming bison. They are just being reintroduced to Banff National Park, so hopefully we will have wild herds up here again in the future. There are a lot of bison in Elk Island National Park, but that is a very large enclosed park, so the bison can't roam freely beyond the park, so not quite the same thing.

KD,
Just incredible! That first shot with the grizzly sow and cubs is fantastic. As I'm scrolling through I'm thinking WOW what a great trip you had. Every shot is special, then I get to the Badgers and I couldn't stop grinning. Great job catching them. I don't know how many hours I stood on the road baking in the sun waiting for them to appear and I never saw them. I'm thrilled that you did and shared them -thanks.

I’m sure this is only the opening salvo....Many many wonderful shots....bears and badgers are especially wonderful. How you held on to these so long is either a testament to restraint, work getting in the way or a backlog of recent images that seems almost endless.
YGMV!

thanks Gordon. Thanks for sharing the information on Banff and Elk Island NP. Hopefully one of these days I'll make it to these amazing parks.
