Elk Skeleton

Yesterday while hiking around in this steep canyon looking for landscape opportunities, I stumbled across the remains of a magnificent 6 x 6 bull elk!  Predators most not have found the carcass as even the leg bones were completely intact and connected to the body.  The rack lacked velvet, he must have died last fall or winter, it makes you wondered what could have happen to such a huge bull in his prime.  Maybe he was past his prime and died of old age.Read More

Old Faithful Geyser Photo

What would a trip to Yellowstone National Park be without a photo of the Old Faithful Geyser!  I now have a bunch.  That is the famous and historic Old Faithful Inn on the right.  Look how empty the boardwalk is in the morning, I think there are 3 people down there – nothing like the afternoon.  This is one image out of 4 that will eventually make a panoramic of the Upper Geyser Basin.
