Winter Bison Scene
I had a really good time working on compositions with bisons in the snow in Yellowstone. This one was kind enough to come walk into the perfect spot to show off the snowy hills of Little America.

Patagonian Scene
A Puma gazes out over the Paine Massif. Taken on a Puma photography tour with @danieldietrichphoto, which was truly an unforgettable experience.

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
