It’s been mixed weather in Yellowstone but we did get a wonderful sunset the other day and these two posed for me with the sun behind them. I’ve seen bison, black bears, grizzly bears, eagle, otter, elk, coyote, wolves, and a variety of birds. I cannot wait to share some great photos with you. Shooting wildlife in #Yellowstone can be very difficult. You definitely have no control over which animals you may see and under what circumstances. And of course, you don’t want to get to close any of them. The park was busy, but for the most part, people were kind and considerate. You just need to have patience. I was caught in more than one traffic jam as people stopped to view animals along the roadside or, in some instances, as animals crossed the road. #Roadtrip Day 41.

I caught this coyote staring back at me in Yellowstone and I’m glad I was more than 100 yards away, the minimum recommended distance by Yellowstone National Park. If you look closely you can see the orange of its eyes and its pupils right on me. It was working over a carcass it had drug into the shrubs and kept sticking his head up to make sure it wasn’t going to be disturbed. #Roadtrip Day 42.
