I'm changing things up a bit for this post and delving into the archives. I was recently thinking about the awesome trip we had through Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks in 2011, and I recalled that there were still some images I had marked to process but never did. One such memorable experience in Grand Teton National Park was watching a herd of bison grazing on the prairie while the sun set behind the mountains. It was so impressive to see the large bison herds, but these two images of a solitary bison feeding on the expansive prairie captured the serenity of the sunset scene.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Phyllis!
DeleteSuper perspective.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reviewing your other recent posts, especially the tiny Piping Plover.
Thanks for stopping by and having a look around, Frank! Photographing the piping plover chicks has definitely been a highlight of my summer so far.
DeleteLove seeing these guys and thinking about how it must have been when the prairies teemed with them. Have you ever been to Custer State Park in South Dakota? The wildlife including bison and pronghorn, rivals the National Parks. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sallie. I agree -- just seeing 50 or 100 in one herd is impressive enough, especially if they start running, that I can barely imagine what it must have been like in the past. I've never been to Custer State Park, but I'll have to remember that if I make it through that area again. While they don't get as much fame as the national parks, there are a lot of state park gems all around the country!
