Needless to say my first encounter with a grizzly bear was at Yellowstone, I was a bit uneasy the way it was eyeing me.

Spent a lot of time out of the couple days in Rocky Mountain National Park, I found this herd of Elk just resting in the evening hours.

This is my brother's cat Su Chef, she loves the kitchen and is always around to assist when meals are being prepped.

To see this Eagle defend his food by spreading his wings and warning all others around him that this food was his and to steer clear.

This Ram was guarding his flock, keeping a cautious eye on me.

Camping at Yellowstone I dropped my cookie and this little chipmunk came running down the tree to claim it.

Trailing the herd I set up for my picture of this bison, he apparently didn't want his picture taken and showed me so.

This Big Horn Ram was busy this particular morning keeping his flock rounded up, occasionally running off to herd a straggler back into the group.

Seemed like this elk was thinking about stuff while feasting

No two sunrises are ever the same, this was the morning that I drove into Yellowstone on my 7th visit in 3 1-2 years.

This is part of their killing routine, stunning their prey hiding underneath the snow.
