Some Yellowstone Scenes

I am linking up with Linses Cotton's first Scenic Weekends and Watery Wednesday II. Please join in on the fun and visit Linses Cotton's blog and to see some pretty waterscapes visit Tricia's Watery Wednesday II.

These are ARCHIVED Yellowstone photos. Yellowstone National Park is my favorite national park. I could go there again and again. The scenery and the wildlife are just incredible. Even though these shots are from my archives I love looking at them and I wish I was there.

Grand Prasmatic, one of my favorite Yellowstone Scenes. The colors and the fog coming off the hot spring, along with the pretty sky created a beautiful scene. These amazing colors are created from pigmented bacteria.

Above are some buffalo hanging out near the river and kicking up some dust. It was cool to be riding along next to one of these massive size buffalo's and hear them snorting and breathing as they walked down the middle of the road.

I could not count how many times we were in buffalo jams, the longest one was over an hour. Waiting for this huge herd of buffalo to move off the road.

Old Faithful being faithful, staying in one of the Snow Lodge cabins we could run out and see the geysers at any time. Hubby walked at on a moonlit night and could hear either wolves or coyotes howling.

I hope you enjoyed my re-run of Yellowstone. Some of my followers might have seen my first post on Yellowstone but my new followers can enjoy Yellowstone for the first time.

To see more Scenic photos please make sure to visit Linses Cotton's Scenic Weekends and Watery Wednesday II join in on the fun. Thanks for stopping by and for the nice comments. Thanks to both Linses Cotton and Tricia.
I wish everyone a safe and happy weekend.

Yellowstone Mosaic Monday

I created Yellowstone Mosaics for this weeks Mosaic Monday. One mosaic is from the photos I have on my Yellowstone post below and I created new mosaics of the Old Faithful Geyser and some of the other geysers in the park and another of the Yellowstone buffalo. Yellowstone National Park wouldn't be Yellowstone without seeing geysers and buffalo.

Please click on the photos to see a larger version of the mosaics

If you would like to see my Birds of the decade mosaic you can visit here: viewingnaturewitheileen

To see more wonderful mosaics go and visit Mary at The Little Red and Mosaic Monday

Thanks for stopping by my blog and for commenting and thanks to Mary for hosting Mosaic Monday.

Teton skies

Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Holidays! I am not sure if Skywatch is happening this week but I will post my skywatch photos just in case.
This week's skywatch I am continuing my Yellowstone-Tetons theme from my previous two post. I have some shots I took of the Tetons. Two are views of the Teton mountains from the road and one is from our Jenny lake hike. We have taken the boat ride across the lake to do the hike to the waterfall and we have also taken the hike around the lake. The scenery is just awesome, another reason why I love this place so much.

The sky was a pretty blue with just some white puffy clouds around. A great day for a hike.

To see some more wonderful skywatch photos go to Skywatch Friday

Thanks for visiting my blog and checking out my Teton skies. Also, thanks to the hosting team of Sylvia, Sandy, Wren, Louise, Klaus, and Fishing Guy.

Camera Critters. another critter from Yellowstone

Seeing animals was high on my list of things to do when we were in Yellowstone and the Tetons National parks. Both parks are rated in the top ten for wildlife viewing. For this weeks camera critter I am posting my photos of the Moose. I just love these animals, there is just something about them and makes them a
cool critter.

It was in the Tetons and we were walking a loop trail about Heron pond or Swan lake. This is where we came across this big guy and his female was not far off. It was my coolest sighting of the trip. This big Moose was eating something in the water and then he would lift his head back up and look towards us and there was the famous MOOSE DROOL. We sat and watch this big guy for awhile, we also noticed he wore a collar. I can only assume the park service was tracking this guy, I am not sure.

This is his women, I assume. She got mad and walked away. Maybe because he was showing off.

I had a few different moose sightings but for me the Moose drool sighting was the coolest.

Sometimes I got shots like this one, this big guy was walking away.

Thanks for checking out my blog and my Moose critter. Thanks to the host Misty Dawn for hosting Camera Critters, I love looking at everyone's critters.

Idaho Falls, Idaho

Hello,

Hubby and I enjoy visiting the national parks in our country. In 2005 we flew into Salt Lake City and did a huge loop, starting with the Tetons, Yellowstone, Glacier, Idaho Falls and on to Arches NP.

Our hotel was close-by the waterfalls below and they had bikes you could use to ride along the trail and river. We had a nice dinner at a local brewery.

The Snake River channels over the man made dams create a urban waterfall.

Below are images from our visit to the Craters of the Moon National Park. Caves and lava tubes can be explored.

" We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone." unknown

I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day!
