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.

Living out the rest of her life in a Wild Cat Sanctuary in Keensburg, Colorado; this animal was rescued from a home that couldn't take care of her any

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

A hungry onlooker watches as this female Golden Eagle devours her meal.

Murray is an Arctic fox that was smuggled out of Alaska, he now resides in the Schneegas Wildlife Rehabilitation Center because he has become domestic

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

This adolescent Bald Eagle was hanging out by the river looking for food.

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.
