A Fine looking Bull Elk peeking out from the sagebrush on an early October day. Eating all he can before the rut begins in earnest. We wish him well and a bit of luck when needed.

On the plateau
A ponderosa pine strong and silent sits high upon the Blacktail Plateau.
Welcome to October.
Listening for Grey Jays
With the silence only punctuated by a infrequent call of a pair of Grey Jays we walked through the grasses and lodgepole pines on a fall day with the sun veiled by cloud yet still somewhat present.
Listening for a deer or perhaps a bear the forest remained silent. Even the tall dry grasses stood still as statues.
Just when you thought it could not get any quieter a Grey Jay would call one of their various calls but were never seen, only heard. as we walk through the forest and meadows that day.
Footnote: The Grey Jays is now Officially called the Canada Jay but Grey Jay just felt appropriate on this slightly grey and very quiet fall afternoon.
A small slice
Grass browning, trees growing and clouds floating by as another season begins. Just a small slice of a big pie an infinite to be enjoyed.
Happy Autumn.
Or Spring.
Sun, Trees and River
The setting sun behind burnt trees shimmering silver on the Norris river in Yellowstone National Park.
In a quiet forest
A quiet walk in a quiet forest where old trees have been kissed by fire and young trees grow. Sun behind the clouds yet peeking between the trees.
In a quiet forest life goes on.
Hey Chippy!
Hey Chip, Chipmunk that is.
What you doing up high in that tree?
Although we see Chipmunks in trees frequently it is always seems surprising and a good surprise at that.
