Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Since I was a youngster, the spectacle and uniqueness of Yellowstone has always drawn me. However, it was not until now that I was able to have all the pieces in place to make this special trip. Though I was able to cover the majority of the parks almost 3,500 square miles in the three days I was there, I'm certain there were many things I missed. I saw coyote, fox and elk but like many visitors I was not granted the pleasure of viewing the ever solitary black or grizzly bears. I did come across many small and large herds of wild buffalo and in one case was given a gift I may never forget. As I watched an average-sized group of about 25 bison, I was stunned to see, in the late morning sun, two usually elusive wolves, circling the herd. Though they were a significant distance away and my telephoto lens was not quite strong enough to take a perfectly focused image, I was able to capture the moment anyways, regardless of it's imperfection.

Grand Tetons - Jackson Hole, Wyoming
When you are standing in a field at 6:00 AM in 25 degree temperatures with a dozen friends and another two dozen photographers from around the world, you realize you're either all completely crazy or in a very special place. I believe the latter to be true. The Grand Tetons can only be experienced up close and personal. Photos, no matter how good, do not convey the beauty or the impressive size on these mountains. Spending five days in this valley with photographers Ed and Kelly Heaton was a experience I will always savor and remember. For a gallery of my favorite images from the trip, please CLICK HERE
