Wow….
Thanks. Hope your evening is going well.
Wonderful image – iconic!
Thanks Eliza. I really like those big guys.
You probably saw this, but it does give one the idea that these are powerful animals not to be messed with: https://youtu.be/srLjIZK2y_8
Yes they are not with for sure. One big guy walk around our vehicle once and was taller than the car by about 2 ft. Kinda like messing with a VW bug going at 30mph.
Beautiful capture!
Thanks Allison, hope your day has been a great one.
Such a majestic, massive animal. We have some on a wildlife refuge near us. Such huge tracks they make! Beautiful shot!
Thanks, it is always a pleasure to get to observe these guys up close. IN the winter they are definitely a little less concerned about you being around so observing them is a bit easier.
So amazing!
Thanks Laura.
You’re welcome,l. I can’t imagine seeing those in person.
They are only a short trip away. 🙂
Well sorta lol.
Just imagine it close.
I think it would be a “moment” in life for sure. If I live through it that is. 😉
No worries about living through it. Just choose the right adventure and all will be fine.
Maybe I was a bit dramatic but that’s me! lol
🙂
you gotta be who you are. It just makes life so much easier.
Yep! That’s me…lots of exclamation points!!!! Have a nice Day!! 🙂
Thanks, so far so good.
I just want to walk into that mist and listening to his ancient knowing… When losing oneself to a picture, it’s like finding home.
Hi Hanne and thanks. I fell like that as well when seeing photos of wonderful landscapes of all ancient thing like forest and the sea.
I deeply (not surprisingly, I think) recognise what you describe here.
I’m not surprised you see this either. Your images of the ocean and those large waves give me the same feeling…ancient wisdom and beauty.
Thank you! I’m so very touched my images can reach out to/into you in such a way. That although it is always unique to the viewer what they take with them, if anything, it is what I constantly aspire to express; a powerful simplicity in the ancient wisdom and beauty of the elements that can be immensely humbling. It is not gone, it still exists, right in front of us…
HI Hanne, yes nature still exists we just have to look and sometimes listen. Hope you had a great weekend and have a beautiful week.
Thank you and likewise to you.
Thanks I will.
Oh my, you done it again..it is just a dream of a photo.
Thanks Paula, even though we visited tis place only a few months ago for me it is like a dream as well.
A fanstastic image.
Thanks Kevin and thanks for the feedback. It is much appreciated.
Marvelous!
Thanks Diana.
How regal is that!!! Stunning shot of a fabulous beast.
Thanks, they are regal for sure and in the Yellowstone winter landscape even more so. Hope you are having a great week and have a wonderful weekend.
Fantastic shot, Mike. You have really captured winter in Yellowstone.
Thanks Jane, I can’t get enough of that place in winter. Already think about a trip next year. Hope your weekend is filled with fun.
Cool picture – aptly named.
Thanks and thanks for taking the time to leave a little feedback. We really appreciate it. Yellowstone in winter can indeed feel primordial at times. Have a great weekend.
Excellent composition. Very effectively conveys place, time(lessness) and emotional tone. 🙂
Thanks for the constructive feedback. Yellowstone is a wonderful place especially in winter.
What a fabulous image~!
Thanks.
Oh, what I just said at the mule deer – I love animal photos. This one could be at my wall. 🙂 … and how incredible it has to be to experience them in their natural environment. I just know them from the zoo.
The subtle shades of grey of the trees in the fog and the dark Bison in the foreground add also a lot of depth to it. You could enter a contest with this. In my amateur opinion. 🙂
And I wanted to ask – why are they less concerned of anyone human being around in winter? Are they quick to attack otherwise? Or in general?
Hi Suzan and thanks for the kind words. In the winter Bison are in conservations mode. The have little food and do not like to wage energy messing around. In summer they will charge but are tolerant. You just need to stay further away in summer and especially fall in mating season.
Great shot Mike.
The title of the post had reminded me of the story the park ranger told us when we visited Yellowstone, that couple of months before our visit, a bison calf had fallen into one of the hotsprings, and was firmly lodged inside, for quite some time the region smelt like beef broth… Would loved to have been there!
Yikes, a great ranger tale and we did see quite a nice skeleton lying around in one thermal area. No beef broth sure does let you know the cycle of life is still going strong in this place. Hope your week was fun and enjoy your week ahead.
