Yellowstone Day 2

Another good day in Yellowstone. The day started with cold and breaks in the clouds. Made the long drive out into Lamar and found this big fella lying in the road. He was in no hurry to go anywhere.



After making our way around him, headed into the east end of Lamar. Just short of Pebble Creek, the wolf watchers saw 3 blacks and a gray. A short time later they were sighted to the west and we headed that way. They were in the area of a previous kill. Most were on the far side of the valley and difficult to photograph. This grey was in the middle of the valley.



The remainder of the day was spent checking out the valley and photographing various wildlife. Hope you enjoy.

Yellowstone Day 1

The winter trip to Yellowstone started Wednesday with me forgetting to bring my winter jacket. However, they sell winter jackets in Bozeman. Great way to spend $130. : )

Day 1 of the trip started cold with light snow. Headed out around 7AM and found nothing of note. The wolves which have been active for the past few weeks were no where to be seen. Past evidence of the wolves is this elk carcass located in the middle of Soda Butte Creek. All you can see remaining is the antler. This coyote is hoping to pick up a scrap or two from the elk.



Driving around I found a few decent winter landscapes. The snow made it difficult to shoot.



Many of the elk and buffalo are bedded down to conserve energy during the winter. This big guy was hiding with a few friends in the shelter of the tree line.



Later in the day I was able to scare up a few ducks on the Lamar River and coyote who was good enough to pose on a rock.



Last set of photos of the day was a large drift with the only sun of the day.



More to follow tomorrow. Hopefully the wolves will appear.

A York County Morning

I took a trip back home and was able to get a few shots of a cold, frosty morning. Enjoy an York County PA sunrise.

Early October Weekend

It was the annual October weekend in which Daniel and I go to Strasburg Railroad to ride the train and go to the Cherry Crest Farm. The day started with a glider ride which was a Christmas gift. It was too foggy to fly the glider so Daniel and I took a tour of the airplanes.









The ride started at 3000' and lasted 30 minutes. It was pretty cool to fly the glider but it was very touchy.







We headed to Strasburg to ride the train. Here is Daniel waiting for the next train.


After the train, Daniel spent several hours climbing in the hay and on the jumping bean. Hard to believe that you can make more money on a fall fest than on farming.




After a long day, the last train and light of the evening.
