Halloween
Halloween Hey, it’s Halloween. My computer rebuild took longer than planned and I planned a long time. So, I hope I am back in the swing of things now. This image greeted us while trick or treating.
Lamar River
The Lamar River flows through Lamar Valley northwest into the Yellowstone River. Along with its natural beauty, it serves as a source of water for most of the wildlife in Lamar Valley. This image faces northeast with the clear river water flowing toward the camera. Although it’s only two hours before sunset, the light still seems to be pretty hard.
Juvenile Bald Eagle
Juvenile Bald Eagle This image represents one of the great advantages of keeping your camera close. On our way into town from the ranch, this young eagle was sitting on a telephone post. As we passed the telephone post, he started to fly. The Nikon 1 V1 was quickly retrieved from the floor of the truck as we approached the post and powered on. Then, it was just a simple click.
Yellowstone’s Crawfish Creek
Yellowstone’s Crawfish Creek Crawfish Creek flows over Moose Falls on the southern edge of Yellowstone NP. This image looks downstream from Moose Falls. It’s such a quiet, calm location to enjoy Yellowstone and capture serene images.
Eye of a Bison
Eye of a Bison Normally, I am not an eyeball shooter. Actually, I captured this image almost by accident. But, after looking at it in post, I really like it. Yellowstone provides so many opportunities to capture interesting images. Visiting Yellowstone for a few days on vacation just isn’t enough.
Yellowstone Lake Tree
Yellowstone Lake Tree Yellowstone Lake and the surrounding mountains provide the context for this lone tree on an island. This simple click was captured after a quick stop while driving to Hayden Valley.
Bull Elk
Bull Elk Our day in Yellowstone was getting short. The late afternoon sun was hidden behind a mountain. Lamar Valley can come alive with wildlife in late afternoon and we were almost there. Coming around a bend in the road; my eagle-eyed sister-in-law noticed an Elk laying in the snow about 50 yards off the road. Simple click. Yes, I said snow. Yellowstone has several inches of snow in the higher elevations.
Moose Falls
Moose Falls lies on the southern edge of Yellowstone NP. It’s just off the road; just before exiting the park. I try to capture a few images every time I go by the falls. As you can see, this falls has been a challenge for me; I’ll just keep trying.
