The smoke from the Maple Fire created this surreal sky at sunrise along the Madison River near the Three Brothers Mountains.
As of 9/3/2016 The Maple Fire has consumed 39,000 acres in Yellowstone National Park. The firefighters are working to keep the fire north of the West Entrance Road. If they are successful, this area will not burn.
As always, thanks so much for stopping by.

While landscapes are my primary photographic objective I pack 2 cameras in case I get lucky and see wildlife. This proud elk was standing in the Madison River while looking at his wandering herd who had wandered further downstream. Got lucky this day.
An elks impressive antlers draw a lot of attention, as they should....did you know:
"An elk’s antlers – which only grow on bulls – don’t just look cool. They’re made of fast-growing bone. How fast? Well, they’ve been known to grow as much as one inch in one day. This rapid pace has led some scientists to suggest that studying elk’s antlers might give us some help in the fight against certain types of cancer in humans. The size of an elk’s antlers depends on the amount of sunlight the elk gets; sunlight causes a boost in testosterone levels, causing the antlers to grow. They can weigh as much as 40 pounds in a full grown male." visitestespark.com
So like we photogs may the light be with them!
Was a treat to watch this healthy bull elk cross Yellowstone's Madison River. One just never knows what critter might cross one's path in this special place.
Thanks for taking a look!
Hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start.
Ahhh titles....!
But this simple title says it all.
I was fortunate to find and enjoy this treat along Yellowstone's Madison river.
Have a safe, wonderful weekend!!
Wild Elk (cow) relaxing in a nice grassy spot in the middle of the Madison River, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Could not let the 100th anniversary of our beloved national parks go by without a post celebrating it. This is one of my personal favorite spots at Yellowstone. The Madison river, the bison(note the little ones) and a man fly fishing. Peace in a nutshell!
Wyoming
THANKS

She was standing in the river, after the wolves moved on. This is full-frame, I didn't much care for the legs in the top left, but that's the way it was. I'll probably drift back to present tomorrow.
I set out early from West Yellowstone along the Madison River. Spotted a small herd of elk by the 7 mile bridge far off along the woods. 1 mile later I encountered this elk grazing alone along the river. She must have slept in and missed the herd's departure. I was leaning against a large boulder and she was just noticing me. A great way to start the day!

I posted a lot of wildlife photos from this remarkable winter safari to Yellowstone at the time of the trip circa 2010, so I'm pretty much repeating myself a decade later. However, this image did get processed with my latest software, not too shabby for ISO 12800 on a Canon 7D. Our tour stayed two nights I think in West Yellowstone before moving to Old Faithful and then to Mammoth Hot Springs. Both mornings we entered the park pre-dawn, and on both mornings we saw wolves along the Madison. They were watching a small herd of elk - in fact, it was clear one had fallen near the pullout - just a pile of fur pretty much.
An elk jam along Yellowstone's Madison river. Yep, I was one of them. All cows here with the bull on the other side of the river. Some folks did get a bit too close though.
One of the pleasures and rewards of a visit to Yellowstone.
Enjoy a wonderful, safe weekend!
Entering Yellowstone National Park from the west, the road follows the Madison River for several miles. Driving along that road before sunrise in early June we were treated to this scene with Bison grazing peacefully and steam fog rising from the curving river.
The mountain to share this week as it is National Park week.
Sat, Apr 22, 2023 - Sun, Apr 30, 2023
National Park Week is a time to reflect on what parks mean to us, enjoy what they provide to their visitors and communities, and commit to protecting these places we cherish.
Was a nice surprise to see this peak receive the honor of this great name. Millions drive by yearly probably without recognizing it's importance and significance. On March 1, 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant signed the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act into law. The world's first national park was born.
"National Park Mountain (7,553 ft or 2,302 m) rises above the confluence of the Firehole River and the Madison River and is just west of Madison Junction." Wikipedia
Our Park's are vital, precious and priceless. And look now how many grand parks have been preserved worldwide since. Thank you!
Female Coyote (Canis latrans), with leg injury apparently caused by some type of snare or trap, glides along the Madison River in Yellowstone National Park. We watched her make her way up the river bank, through deep snow and over rocky terrain. She didn't seem fazed by her injury. She appeared to be on the lookout for fish in the river. Very interested in the water - even looked like she was about to jump in. But we didn't see her do that. We're happy with the extended view we had of this resilient, tough animal surviving in a harsh habitat.
We were looking for a Bobcat on the Madison River after lunch. Then she trotted along the opposite bank in heavy snow. A female Coyote (Canis latrans) hunting for rodents and keeping an eye on the water. Not sure what caused the nasty gash on her left front leg - a snare? a fence? No idea, but it had ripped the fur off and exposed her raw muscle. This tough Canid didn't miss a beat though, and we photographed her for almost an hour as she made her way down the river bank, bounding through snow drifts and navigating the narrow stretch of exposed vegetation and rock.
It was a sublime morning along the Madison River in Yellowstone National Park. I'm not sure I have the ability to capture the feeling of this beautifiul and peaceful scene. In the face of nature's awesome artwork this is my meager effort.

This bull elk had a terrible time trying to decide if it wanted to cross the river or not. It waded back and forth several times during the time I watched and photographed him.
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

A couple bull bison work their way across a chilly Madison River.
"A bison’s hump is composed of muscle, supported by long vertebrae. It allows the animal to use its head to plow through snow.
Most of the 500,000 or so bison nationwide are raised as livestock on ranches. About 30,000 are managed for conservation in private and public herds.
Fossils and accounts from early travelers show that Yellowstone National Park is the only place in the U.S. where bison have lived continuously since prehistoric times.
The Yellowstone herd is one of the few that remains genetically free of cattle genes." NWF
Enjoy a Super Weekend!

It was our first day in Yellowstone and I had gotten up early in anticipation of what hopefully would be a good morning of shooting. I made several stops at the pull-offs along the west entrance road, getting a nice sunrise and an osprey sitting in a tree above the Madison River. There were quite a few (at least so I thought that morning) cars and trucks stopped at a particular pull-off, so I got out to see what was drawing everyone's attention. It was an elk herd with a few animals on each side of the river. As more elk began to cross the river, the light turned truly divine and this little one decided to pause as it walked in the water. I love how its head was looking up and into the light - an early morning devotion?
Thanks for stopping by! I truly appreciate your views and comments. After having been away for the better part of a month I have a lot of catching up to do!

Early morning along the Madison River. The clouds and steam had not lifted and cast such beautiful light on the surroundings.
