A section of the Yellowstone's Lamar Valley, where the Bison, and many other animals, roam. Just never know what you're going to see next.
A few more shots from this special area below:
As always thanks for your visits, faves and suggestions.
Gary and I took a long ramble through Lamar Valley in the NE section of Yellowstone. We saw grizzlies, wolves and a pronghorn antelope, but being the "scenic" freak I am, this was easily my favorite spot. Standing in the middle of a river always seems to do the trick for me.
The color and shadows have been bothering me with this shot, but I'm done fussing over this for now.

The storm was weakening but still maintained decent structure and lightning as it passed to the southwest of Lamar.
Coyote in Lamar Valley, Yellowstone National Park
For this entire series I was using a long telephoto lens and never walked toward the coyote. Eventually, the coyote approached within 25 yards and kept coming, so we moved back to allow him all the space he needed to go where he wanted to. After a while, he turned around and gradually moved away from us.
Took this from the window of the car last spring on a trip to Lamar Valley with my girlfriend and parents.
Here is another photo from my dad's and my time in Yellowstone National Park a few weeks ago.
In the foreground, a herd of bison foraging, and in the background, 5 of the 12 members of the Lamar Canyon Wolf Pack are on the move looking for breakfast.
Bison are so large that there is only one out of the eleven packs in the park (the Mollie Pack, not the Lamars) that will take down adult Bison. These Wolves were more focused on mousing and looking for carrion.
