Snowblind Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming 2014

We have good friends who are among the ranks of Yellowstone National Park’s serious wolf watchers, spending hours and days looking for and peering through spotting scopes observing wolves and other wildlife. (Hi Ned and Teresa!) I like viewing wildlife as well, but am mostly content to wait for them to present themselves to me unexpectedly. That’s exactly what this wolf did a few weeks ago when I was driving back to Mammoth Hot Springs after skiing. I got some easy close-up photos of the wolf, but they didn’t really distinguish themselves from all the excellent photos that the wolf watchers have amassed since the wolves’ reintroduction into Yellowstone a couple of decades ago. So I felt compelled to take a little artistic license with this one.]]>
