A Weekend in Yellowstone

I took a long weekend with my dad to Yellowstone National Park. My dad was and still is my photo professor. He taught me all the basics of photography and was responsible for giving me my camera. I'll always appreciate him for that.

We had a good time finding animals left and right. I have a few great examples of animals and the pictures we took.

Morning Lights

The fog that forms on top of the river has a cool effect in the golden morning sun. My dad taught me that it comes from the cold atmosphere combined with the slightly warmer river.

Bison Dragon Breath

When my dad and I were heading to Lamar Valley for wolf-watching, we saw these bison crossing the street. We watched as they breathed out through their nose and I thought it looked cool. Don't they look like cartoon dragons breathing out smoke?

Lamar Valley

I know the quality of this photo is really bad, but this was the best I could do to show the wolf sightings. Every morning people come to Lamar Valley to see the only wolf pack that is semi-perdictable to see. As wolves are my favorite animal it satisfied me greatly.

Coyote Stops Traffic

At Hayden Valley, this coyote walked out onto the street and caused a stir. One car just stopped and kept taking photos on their phones never mind the long line of traffic he was making. Someone had to get out of their car and demanded him to move on. Luckily for me my dad did the smart thing and pulled over to the side and I got this.

Unfortunately, on the last day of the trip, I got COVID. So I spent the last day lying in my hotel while my dad got me everything I needed. As he had it a couple of weeks ago he was in the state of being almost immune to it.

Also an interesting thing, we didn't see a single bear this time. we searched far and wide for a bear and they were being shy this time. It's a bit odd cause all the other times I've been there bears were more common to see than coyotes. But not this time so odd.
