#608 Really........Your Takin' My Pitcure?

2010-02-25

Hi everyone-

Well the snow has begun to fall, albeit light at this point. We have about an inch of new snow on the ground and it is continuing at a pretty light rate. The wind is also picking up a bit.

So I'm not sure what we'll actually get out of this one. But for those of you to the north and east of us, good luck...lol

In today's image I shot this bison coming up over a hill from the Yellowstone River in Hayden Valley, Yellowstone National Park.

It was shot the morning after an October snowstorm moved through the area. It was very cold and pretty windy.

The wind actually worked out nice for shooting a series of "environmental portraits" of the bison crossing the area. That combined with the sun very low on the sky made it as though I set up lighting and had fans in place. Heck even the bison cooperated.

Have a great day!!

#607 Did Someone Say Snow!?!

2010-02-24

Hi everyone-

Well its going to snow again! The weather man is saying that starting tonight we can expect another 4 to 8 inches of snow.

As a matter of fact in North Eastern PA and NJ they are saying that the conditions will create a snowicaine with lots of snow and very strong winds.

While normally I am all for it this may have some effects on upcoming travel plans. So much so that my mom, dad, sister and nephew have changed their travel plans to leave a day early just to make sure they get out.

So today I have mixed emotions. I love the winter and snow, I don't want to miss our flights, I am looking forward to better weather, I am going to miss playing in the snow... Oh well there will be more...lol

Here is a image from Yellowstone highlighting the beauty of the snow and winter, just to remind you that it's not all bad!!

#601 Swan Lake Storm

2010-02-03

Hi everyone-

Today's image was shot in the Swan Lake Flats area of Yellowstone National Park this past fall.

I had left the park for a few days but decided to come back and spend a little more time when word of an impending snow storm began to spread.

I lucked out a bit and the park received a fair amount of snow.

As the storms began to clear out I headed to Swan Lake Flats in hopes of seeing wolves but that didn't really pan out. I did get to watch the beautiful landscape of the area begin to wake up from the snow.

This was only a momentary laps in the storm as it turns out and later in the day we received a lot more snow.

Have a great day!
