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.

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.

Some Yellowstone Critters..Camera Critters #78

Yellowstone National Park has a lot of critters. Just about anywhere you look you can see some kind of animal. I read that in 1902 the Yellowstone buffalo herd was down to just 23. Now the Yellowstone Buffalo herd has grown to 4000 or more.

They are amazing to see and when I first saw them I thought of what it would have been like back in the 1800's when there were millions of the free ranging buffalo. Wow, can you imagine seeing that many buffalo.
The first time I drove into Yellowstone and was caught in the middle of a buffalo jam, I thought it was cool.

The buffalo would walk in the middle of the road and cause a huge traffic jam. It felt safe in the car even though some came close they were snorting and sometimes I thought they made a growling noise. We were in multiple buffalo jams sometimes it was just one Buffalo and sometimes there were larger groups of buffalos in the road. The scenery is wonderful, not like being in a traffic jam on the beltway that's for sure. I didn't mind at all sitting in the car and soaking it all in besides I was on vacation..no worries and no hurries.

Maybe another time I will show the Bear jams and the moose jams. I just love the animals of Yellowstone.
There is a buffalo farm near my house and everytime I ride past this farm I think of the Yellowstone Buffalo. I loved seeing them free in the park.
