The mighty buffalo

Buffalo intrigue me! But I know to stay back. These two weren't happy with each other.

I enjoyed watching this babe nursing, oblivious to the arguing males.

This photo makes me think of those dairy books showing the different bulls you can use for stud, lol.  Wonder how he would rate.

Watching Elk

We saw this fellow in the distance and pulled off into a parking lot to grab a few shots.

Oops, here he comes.

He's passing us and he crosses the road so we move into another position - the sun was coming up during this time, you can see the lighting change as the series continues.

He had many ladies on the other side of the road and he seemed to be trying to shoo them away from all us watchers.

He even has some babes there - aren't they cute!

He did a little talking, and as you can see, it was a chilly September morn.

I got a little panicked when I saw this in my lens, in fact I ducked back in the car ready to roll up the window, lol. He was further away than he looks.

Colors of Yellowstone

We walked a few of the paths in Yellowstone and snapped many photos! These are a few of my favorites. The color of that water! Just wow!

The white in this formation is not snow.

The Geysers were way awesome!

Still amazed that things can and do live there.

Signs around Yellowstone

And after forty some years, I can finally mark Hawaii off my traveling license plate game - in Wyoming!

Yellowstone life

I think were called mud pots. Whatever they're called they are pretty cool!

It looks like a dying environment, but there are flowers, elk and birds, so it must be alive in ways we cannot see.

Is it safe to breathe?

He was really too far away, but I tried. . .

Yellowstone

This deer thought it was hidden, yet there were several of us pointing cameras at it, lol.

I'm so taken aback with thermals, a terrifying concept, yet intriguing too!

How deep does that hole go? Why is white around the edges? So many questions; so much to see!

Amazing that flowers can grow in this environment!

Not sure what these bubbles are about. I wanted to poke them but was afraid the thermal would melt my finger off, lol.

Yellowstone sooc #32

The view from a hill in the National Bison Range.

These were shot on our first evening in Yellowstone, Wyoming, with the point and shoot, mostly from the car window.
