A Ruffed Grouse walking across a small frozen pond covered with spruce needles is something I have not seen. Those fully feathered legs must keep her warm on her winter journeys.
Happy 2019
Wishing you peace and happiness throughout the New Year.
Vixen Geyser, Yellowstone National Park.
Ring Necked Ducks
These guys always seem so alert and on patrol. Furthermore, they look pretty darn tough. That said, they are one of the more skittish ducks on the ponds and getting close is always a challenge.
Tippy Top
With barely room for both claws to get a good hold an American Kestrel perches on the top a branch.
Letting off steam
Letting of steam at Noris Geyser Basin. The sun and steam are always there to greet you on the walk.
Peeking over the ridge
A small group of Bison peek over the ridge and are greeted by the golden glow of late afternoon light.

Through Sentinel Meadows
Images from a late fall hike through sentinel meadows in the lower geyser basin of Yellowstone National Park. An open landscape familiar yet strange.
Youth
With the morning sunshine warming her face a young elk begins their day.
Holiday Cheer, Pinhole Style.
Wishing everyone a very happy holiday season. May santa leave a few rolls of film and a pinhole camera in your stocking…just for fun.
Wintery Mix
When the forecast calls for a wintery mix where the rain will quickly turn to snow a White tailed doe decides the best thing to do is just hunker down and wait it out.
