Halloween Late Night Out and about tonight, I ran into a couple of real party animals. One of them got all wrapped up in his own jokes. The other just could not keep a straight face. Hope I don’t see them again until next year; real scary dudes.
Several of my associates and some family have begun to refer to me as Montana Hank. Hopefully, the people of the great state of Montana will not be too offended. They seem to want a portrait of me in my Montana garb. So, this image shows me acting like I’m from Big Sky Country. Perhaps, it should be labeled farmer goes to the ranch, Montana style. My brother did the honors.
Yellowstone Bison Bison roam most parts of Yellowstone. This one seems to know his around the thermal features. For me, this image captures the essence of Yellowstone.
Mammoth Hot Springs B&W Mammoth Hot Springs photographed in the rain, again. Perhaps, it is better in B&W.
Mammoth Hot Springs photographed in the rain. The morning had been mostly rainy with a few rainbows. Just after noon, the clouds brightened a bit and occasionally the sun poked through followed by rain showers. This image was captured during one of this showers. Wonder if it would be better in B&W.
Elk Cow & Calf It’s hard to miss the affection this mom Elk has for her baby; well her bigger baby now. Yellowstone has thousands of wildlife stories every day. It’s a real privilege to witness just one of those stores.
Yellowstone Rock Yellowstone NP is not really known for its photogenic rocks. Still, the images are there for the photog willing to get a bit off the beaten path. This image comes from the northwestern part of the park; just south of the north entrance near Gardiner, MT.
Although Hayden Valley is well known in Yellowstone for wildlife viewing and photographing, with the right weather, it can provide stunning landscape images. Hayden Valley is a large, sub-alpine valley in Yellowstone NP straddling the Yellowstone River between Yellowstone Falls and Yellowstone Lake. The valley floor along the river is an ancient lake bed from a time when Yellowstone Lake was much larger.
