Standing tall, our trusty winter companion named Bunn, a Mountain Cottontail (Sylvilagus nuttallii), scans the surroundings for hints danger or perhaps where to head for her next meal. Bunn typically spends her day feeding on the shrubs nearby or just sitting perched upon a high snow mound.
Alone on a small ridge this Ponderosa Pine grew strong and tall despite the wind and snow.
A Bull Elk grazes away as we take a quick portrait an leave him to go at it. He never really looked up as eating on this winters day was more important than saying hello to a couple of photographers. He does have his priorities in order.
Perched upon a wonderful old tree stump a Red Squirrel sat flaunting it’s gorgeous red tail to the other squirrels nearby. This winter the Red Squirrels seem much more mild mannered than last winters Frenemy. Will it stay that way all winter? I’ll do my part the best I can.
But in this case the shelter comes with you. An American Bison, with a wonderfully adapted coat, waiting out a day of snow in Yellowstone National Park this winter.
A little drop of color on an otherwise very grey day.
Looking out at slices and slices of the diverse landscape in Yellowstone. From big open skies and snow capped mountains framed by hot springs and trees. All littles slices that come together to make this place unique. A fine winter day indeed.
Enjoying the beauty of a winters day.
Quietly looking out on a blue-grey day.
The skies so heavy yet flakes don’t fly.
A day that weighs with nothing special yet grabs your attention with a quiet shout.
Nothing to say on a day like today.
Bison heading home after a day on the job. Yellowstone National Park.
