A bull Elk watching a cow

I found this male Elk towards the end of the day on the Madison river in Yellowstone national park. He had been eating some grass but his attention soon shifted too the female Elk across the river.

An awkward game of tag

This bull Elk had been hanging out in the tall grass a quite a distance from me. When suddenly this Coyote appeared near him the two began to drive each other towards the Madison river. Occasionally crossing in front of one another as they moved closer too me.

A Wolf in the mist

On my last morning in Yellowstone I got up really early and went to a location I had scouted the day before. It was a very foggy morning and I was hoping for some bison in the fog. Much to my surprise I did not find any Bison but soon I knew why as this lone Wolf emerged out of the fog.

A cold stare

Early one late fall morning in Yellowstone I found this bull Bison enjoying a little breakfast completely covered in frost.

Sunset in the Hayden valley

I just fell in love with the Hayden valley while in Yellowstone this October. Every time I went there I seemed to find something interesting to photograph.

Lower Yellowstone falls

Yellowstone lower falls is approximately 308 feet tall and is nearly twice as high as Niagara falls. This is the view from approximately half way down the canyon as viewed from Uncle Tom's Trail.

Yellowstone Grand Canyon

There is something quite amazing about this spot and I found myself drawn to it over and over again on my recent trip to Yellowstone. The landscape is a result of glacial melt and volcanic activity which quickly eroded away the fractured rocks.

Pronghorn in the lamar valley

My first trip to the Lamar valley and my first time at slough creek looking for wolves. I came across a group of Pronghorn that were very widespread over the area apparently not worried by the wolves nearby at all.

Sunrise at yellowstone lake

My last morning at Yellowstone lake I was greated by this amazing sunrise as the clouds moved over the distant mountains.

A small rock outcroping

Near the base of Mt. Washburn in Yellowstone National park there is a small outcrop of rocks near a pullout in the road. I stopped there one afternoon and just sat in amazement of this scene that encircled me !

Bunsen Peak

I took a sunrise here last October on my first visit to Yellowstone National park. So I made a return visit in late may to see the peak in the spring, and was treated to these wonderful rain clouds.
