| Bighorn sheep ewes and lamb on a steep hillside across from the Gardner River |
 |
| an American white pelican fishing on the Yellowstone River - these birds have a wingspan of about nine feet! |

| my first black bear of the season strolling through the sage near Highway 191 where it passes through the park |

| an obstinacy of bison in Hayden Valley - love those little red dog calves |
 |
| A bison rolling in the dirt. It is believed that they do this to coat their fur to prevent insects from biting them. I enjoy watching since that giant hump of bones, fat and muscle prevents them from rolling completely over and they stir up great clouds of dust. |

| One of my favorite views in the park. These are the wide open spaces I dreamed about while living in New York for most of the last year. Even the prettiest of river valleys cannot compare to this landscape. |
