Why They Call It Yellowstone
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
2015

I’ve been to “the park” (as we call it around here) many times, but am still impressed by the views down into the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. This is a pretty touristy shot, but I just love the color.

I took this photo after I’d walked away from where most folks gather to gawk at the canyon from the pullout I’d parked in but didn’t quite manage to be alone–there was a young woman sitting on a rock near me on a cell phone giving someone a grammar lesson. Go figure.

These ravens look like they’ve been around the block a few times. It seems to go with the territory. I took this photo in the same area about this same time last year. Must be a rough neighborhood.

From pelicans back to more familiar territory for me. These ravens were taking advantage of the breeze rising over the foothills of the Absaroka Mountains.
