"A Good Stretch to Make More room for Food." Finally, I have found a creature that like to eat the green of the Watermelon! Caught this shot in Yellowstone National Park. No, I did not contribute the melon. This beautiful coyote found it on his own. After several snacks on the melon, a long stretch made room for even more food.

Took a trip to Yellowstone to see the fall colors and animals.

These guys were on the move...the road is an easier place to walk than the hard crusty snow.

They look slow, but you won't out run them no matter how fast you are...

This shot in from Yellowstone National Park. I was drawn by the different shades of blue on the mountain-scape. Hope you enjoy!

There were a couple of sheep just inside the park boundary digging for the grass under the snow.

I have never seen an elk the color of this bull. It was just about dark as I was heading out of Yellowstone Park, and I spotted this bull with a few cows. They were quite far away, and the light was not good, but I got a few shots before they took off.

Yellowstone National Park offers many waterfall photo ops...some of which require a nice hike. However, here's one that you can get to within 1 minute from where you park.

I'll be revisiting this waterfall as part of my traditional mid-July photo shoot and again when I return for my Tetons fall colors photo shoot. Hope you be able to join me for shooting a ton of great sites.

Thanks for stopping by.

the people on the boardwalk are looking at Excelsior Geyser

Grand Prismatic Spring is behind us

Excelsior Geyser next to Grand Prismatic Spring had the most beautiful blue colors. The Midway Geyser Basin is simply spectacular to see, although it is tough to get to. The parking area is relatively small and was completely full, so we ended up having to park on the road and walk a bit to get there, but it was totally worth the effort.
