Snow up high and rain moving in down low along the Buffalo Fork of the Snake River in Wyoming. Fall colors in the Valley and dark clouds up high portend the early arrival of old man winter.

Mighty Might
While drinking our morning coffee at our campsite we watched as this little Ermine pass by carrying a chipmunk as large as they were. Unfortunelty we had no camera in hand. A few minutes latter the Ermine scurried past us in the direction in which they just came from. Within a few minutes there returned again carrying a Chipmunk. Still no camera in hand. However when we saw the Ermine return again heading the same direction I grabbed my camera and was able to capture them caring their third successful catch back to their nest. It was a tough day to be a Chipmunk and a good day for the Ermine pups.
Williamson’s Sap Sucker
A wonderful looking Williamson’s Sapsucker rests in a dimly light forest in Yellowstone NP.
Not a common sighting for us so we sure felt lucky to see him that day and had to sped a little trying to correctly ID this guy.

The water on the pond is just a bit stiller.
The dragonflies are out in force and the water lilies are in bloom.
Summer delivered.

Listening to Frogs
On a quiet days drive between diverse landscapes we listened to frogs at each destination. Some expected,
some unexpected,
and one a complete surprise.
Although we never saw a single frog that day their song still lingers on. Ribbit!
