Seeing double

Two shots of Mount Moran, two different seasons

Early Morning

Just before sunrise

In order to get a sunrise picture at Schwabacher's Landing we had to wake up at 4:30 to drive almost 2 hours. I could complain but I slept in the truck while Matt drove; boyfriends, useful for some things. Of course the weekend we did this it was rainy and there was a lot of cloud cover. However I did get some interesting shots. I like the one above because you can still see the moon and the pink of the sunrise is just visible. Click for more!

Cody Nite Rodeo

Having never been to any rodeo I was excited to go to the Cody Rodeo since it's a pretty famous one in the circuit. As usual I was thinking of all of the awesome pictures I'd be able to get and not about what I was actually going to see. Now I'm no extreme animal rights' activist by any means; I oppose vegetarianism because I love eating meat so much. However, the rodeo disturbed me. Maybe I'm not used to farmer/southern/cowboy culture but I didn't like it, especially during the contest when you lasso tie and bind a calf. But I did get some nice shots so I thought I'd share.

Wildlife Watch

Bear sighting near Lamar Valley

You never know when you'll get caught in a jam, be it a bison, an elk, or something more exciting like a bear. By now it's more a nuisance than an excitement to pass a jam, considering most tourists stop to look at bison and female elk like they're not EVERYWHERE in the park. But sometimes you get lucky, like this shot.
