 Yellowstone Lake in early to mid May. The lake is at about 7900 feet and stays froozen each spring from late May to early June.
 We've seen a lot of moose in Yellowstone. Even watched a female raise a calf next to our campground one year, but this is the closest I've managed to get to one and still feel safe. The picture was taken in Teton National Park just south of Yellowstone. Moose are very unpredictable creatures and have been known to charge humans with little or no provocation. In this case there was a small stream between us and about a hundred other tourists jockeying for picture taking position. I thought the odds were pretty good that if he became irritated he would go after someone else.
 Carole takes most of the flower pictures but these two are mine. Two or three times a week I would drive by this particular field and watched it mature until one day I just had to stop and take a couple pictures. Shot up a whole roll and these are a couple of the best. Indian Paint Brush comes in several different colors and the reds will vary from drab to what you see here. If I have a favorite flower, and I'm not sure I do, Red Paint Brush would be it.
 In 1997 we watched two swans sit on a nest for five or six weeks. The little ones here are less than a day old. Soon after the hatching the parents leave the nest and seek a more secluded area to raise the young ones.
 Sunrise in West Yellowstone. MT. I like a good sun rise almost as much as when then set. The problem is that I'm more of a night person than an early riser so just don't have the same opportunities. This picture was take from our campground in West Yellowstone, Montana. Its looking toward the Park entrance which is about a mile from the campground. The cut in the mountain ridge line is the Madison River Valley in the park. The Madison is famous among fly fishermen. It originates in the park and meets with two other rivers at Three Forks Montana to form the Missouri River.
 Hamilton Store's, the Yellowstone National Park concessionaire that we work for in the summer, has 14 General Stores in the park. Each of the stores has a gift department and Carole is the front office representative to the 14 gift departments. She doesn't supervise them but she does offer guidance and assistance to the gift and store managers. She's pictured here with one of the more expensive stuffed animals.
