  • Frigid

    On my first morning in Yellowstone, I didn’t quite have the hang of doing photography in gloves, which mean I lost most of my shots. For whatever reason, I managed to get the shutter all the way down for this composition. I really liked the wider version of this shot, but the silver lining to…

  • Gray Fox

    Normally a photo this busy might not even survive my initial cull. But, this is my first time ever getting a portrait of a Gray Fox, so it stays. I’ve hiked or camped in these hills about a dozen times. In that whole time, I’ve only seen a fox twice, and one of those times…

    The other Coyotes trotted across the frozen marsh, but this one wasn’t having it. She paced back and forth to find the perfect spot, and then picked her way across the ice before running to catch up with the others.

  • Rainy Day Hunt

    I rarely see Bobcats in the rain. The only other time I saw it, the poor cat was absolutely drenched as it headed towards cover. This time, there was a light drizzle the day after an absolute downpour. The Bobcat was out putting up with a stiff wind and light drizzle, probably making up for…

  • Chance Encounter

    I was out for a hike when I came around a corner and found myself face to face with this American Bison. I’m not sure who was more surprised to see whom. After making sure nobody was about to make any sudden moves, we eased past each other and continued on our walks.
