Watch Your Back
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

There was an interesting interaction going on between these two ravens. The one in the foreground appeared to be trying to hide some food, as ravens often do. And the other raven–also as ravens often do–was trying to get close enough to see what was being hidden, perhaps to determine whether or not it was worth coming back later to steal. But in this case the first raven was actually just playing with a rock, maybe in an attempt to fool the other one.

Caught in the Middle
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
2019

This is technically a POTD rerun of sorts as I recall photographing this rock stuck in the roots of a tree a number of years ago and posting it on this blog. If I could easily put my hands on that post it would make an interesting comparison, both in the image composition as well as the title I chose for it. But alas my indexing of posts is quite poor so I doubt I could find it easily.

At least from this angle that’s what it looked like.

No Service
Jeffrey City, Wyoming
2019

The Catholic Church in Jeffrey City on a Sunday morning. No sign of a service happening that day, which is perhaps largely explained by the fact that Jeffrey City is no more than a ghost town these day–only a few stragglers hanging on after the mines closed down some years ago.
