Our Yellowstone trip last fall was epic. While we had no snowfalls, the temperatures were cold enough to help create those magical, morning moments when light, water and mist combine to create a wonderful backdrop. Here, two trumpeter swans appear to greet each other in those amazing conditions.
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

Yellowstone NP opened as the first NP in the US (and the world) on March 1, 1872. This was taken on our trip out west in 2013.
Happy Birthday Yellowstone!
If you look through my photo stream, you will notice I have a real affinity for elk. It goes back to the days when we owned a cabin in southwest Colorado. We saw plenty of elk, but I could never get close enough to them for decent pictures. Now, from our travels in Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Rocky Mountain National Parks, I literally have thousands of elk images.
My favorite scenario is to shoot them in or near water as this habitat element adds so much.
On this particular morning, I was headed back to West Yellowstone when I got caught in a wildlife jam of some sort along the Madison River. I glanced to see what was causing the backups and saw this magnificent bull attempting to cross the river. It seemed his harem had already crossed, and he was wanted to corral them again before another bull tried to take over. He would come close to shore only to head back out into the water, eventually going over to the opposite bank. Then he went back into the river only to stall out again.
I sat on the side of the road as cars and people passed, switching between my two camera rigs, happily clicking away. After 15 minutes and 500+ images, I decided to move on. As I was leaving, a park ranger came up and asked if I thought he was acting skittish and reluctant to cross. I agreed. Was he bothered by the crowd that had gathered? I would have thought not as this is by far the busiest stretch of road in the park. I guess we will never know.
More to follow!

Lewis Falls located in Yellowstone National Park is a short drive from Grant Village. It's in between Grant Village in Yellowstone National Park and Colter Bay Village in Grand Teton National Park. One advantage to staying in Grant Village is it's location. It's close enough to Old Faithful, Yellowstone Falls, Lewis Falls and Grand Teton National Park. Lewis Falls is next to the road. On one side is the falls on the other side is the river valley which is equally as spectacular. #NPS #LewisFalls #YellowstoneNationalPark #SouthernLoop #LewisRiver #Wyoming
Dragons Breath is in between Grant Village and Canyon Village in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. It's a great stop. It sounds like it's breathing. It's pretty cool. There's a boardwalk around the basin. It's a short stop (about 30-45 minutes). #NPS #YellowstoneNationalPark. #MudVolcano
This week is National Park Week, so I thought I'd go back to some older shots that were originally private in comments and give them their own time to shine. The post today is from Yellowstone in 2013.
Winter winds in Yellowstone can be brutal and this day the snow was blowing sideways. A typical way bison endure this is to settle into the snow and wait it out.
A short 30 second video of the Dragon's Mouth. It's a cool stop. It continuously vents or breaths. It's located at the Mud Volcano just south of Yellowstone Falls. It's in between Grant Village and Yellowstone Falls. It's a cool stop. We spent 30 to 40 minutes there. It's accessible via the boardwalk. #NPS #YellowstoneNationalPark #DragonsMouth #MudVolcano
This 12 second video shows the Dragon's Mouth It is located at the Mud Volcano in between Grant Village and Yellowstone Falls. The boardwalk allows access to this area where there's bubbling mud and geothermal venting. The Dragon's Mouth is a good stop. It continuously breaths or vents so there isn't any waiting. We spent maybe 30 to 40 minutes there. #NPS #YellowstoneNationalPark #DragonsMouth #Wyoming #MudVolcano
Terri and I had a successful wildlife tour in Yellowstone NP today. We never thought we’d be lucky enough to run into a wolf pack on today’s journey, but we did. I will be posting many more of the pack coming down the hillside, but this juvenile was the best I could do as he crossed in front of me to get over the snowy road. #yellowstonenp #greywolf #wolvesinyellowstone

Black Pool is one of the largest springs in the West Thumb Geyser Basin. The dark-colored water is the combination of the natural, transparent blue of the water and the orange algae lining of the pool. The low temperature of the pool is responsible for the abundant growth of the orange-colored microbial mats. Algae and cyanobacteria in combination with sinter deposits have created coral-like formations on the sides of the pool but these are visible for only a few feet. The pH of Black Pool is a slightly alkaline 7.8.
