Still more Yellowstone residents...

(Same link as the previous post) From the very large to the very small... and then a coyote I spotted from the road at a great distance, and started a coyote jam while I extended my zoom as far as it could go, for these cheerful shots! Sign in to see full entry.

I promised more Yellowstone...

You might be expecting bears... but on the past couple of trips through Yellowstone country I saw not a single ursine inhabitant, neither black nor grizzly. Instead... Bison! Bison causing traffic jams by ambling slowly, oh so slowly, across the road, or causing drivers to pull more or less off the... Sign in to see full entry.

Yellowstone River Canyon

Some years back, I was in Yellowstone National Park, catching the rising sunlight on the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River. There is a trail from the eastern rim of the Canyon of the Yellowstone, part paved, part dirt, and then, descending to the base of the falls, a series of long metal stairs...

another moonset

Like clouds and sunlight, they happen all the time, and yet... still fascinating! http://www.flickr.com/photos/therovingeye/ These were taken yesterday morning around 7:30ish The squirrel--later in the afternoon. He was not pleased with my attention, or my presence at all, for that matter. Sign in to see full entry.

Another face of the Colorado winter

Saturday, the temps were near 50F. Overnight, in the 20s. The warmth after several days of snow, led to ankle-deep slush on the streets like ours that never see heavy traffic, let alone a plow or sander. And come morning, all that had not actually melted away, was ice. I have never seen worse... Sign in to see full entry.

Snow can be beautiful

And squirrels can be cute... and the mountain in a clear sunrise is a spectacular show! Madame has been spotted in that tree behind the neighbor's far fence a number of times lately. It's maybe 30 or 40 feet from where I stand at the back door. 24x optical zoom was one reason I bought this camera.... Sign in to see full entry.

Afternoon of a Squirrel

I spotted Madame la Darque high up in the tree two yards over, and got out the camera with the long zoom. For the next twenty minutes, or so, I recorded her busy afternoon scamperings. http://www.flickr.com/photos/therovingeye/ You may recall from other posts that she grew impatient with the peanuts...

Monument Valley

It's a grand park on and belonging to the Navajo Nation, and I was there for a couple of days a few years ago. http://www.flickr.com/photos/therovingeye/sets/72157626716797811/ A great number of classic westerns were filmed among these landscapes. A search online for "Monument Valley Westerns" turns... Sign in to see full entry.
