Late summer moon rise in the sky above Shoshone Lake in Yellowstone National Park. We are already thinking about another trip there next year.

Dip a toe in
Go ahead…dip a toe in it’s summer.
when it got windy
The clouds got interesting, as well as the waves, when the afternoon breeze kicked up. Photographed while kayaking on Shoshone Lake in Yellowstone NP.
Early Spring
Early spring reflecting into calm water in Yellowstone National Park.
Snowy Muzzle
This good looking guy with a bit of a snowy muzzle was photographed earlier this year. I am sure the grasslands where he roams are greening up, and even though he looked quite happy this snowy day, I bet he is happier now that spring has arrived.
Ruffed Grouse

Blue on blue
A Great Blue Heron perched on blue rocks looks for that afternoon meal.
Mountain Bluebird
A Mountain Bluebird with a Killdeer behind forage for insects that thrive in the warm waters of a Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park.
The warm waters provide food for birds that have arrived early this year before the spring thaw.
Waiting for spring
Ruminators ruminate and I bet this American Bison was ruminating on the thought of springs arrival.

Sleepy Heads
I am not sure if all the grazers had full bellies and were spending the afternoon ruminating or they were saving all their energy to make it past the extended winter but last week was fill with sleepy heads. From the Elk to the Big Horn Sheep napping or just taking it easy seemed to be the order of the day.
