We could hear them all around but the forest was thick and every time I put the camera up to my face they quickly flew away. As we continued our walk I stoped trying to get a photo, put the camera in my backpack and just enjoyed listening to thee Sparrows singing their songs.
As we were getting nearer to our car I finally got a photograph yet what I remember most of that hike is listening to them singing their songs.

Clouds flew by and time stood still as the evening made its way.
Oh the Squirrel. My nemesis in the yard pillaging the bird feeders and outsmarting my attempts to keep them off. In the wild away from the city they are (serious hesitation) cute and this guy munching a pine cone as the November sky says time to fatten up brought a smile to my face.
One of Yellowstone National Parks wonderful tour guides pointing out Floating Island Lake in the morning light. A little past due but November 1st was National Bison Day. We sure are lucky to still have these guys walking around free in a few spots on the globe.
