I am back from 8 days in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks on a shoot with my good friend and fellow photographer, John Musaus. The weather was pretty nice and we were blessed with some great light. Here are some shots from the trip...

One of the highlights of the trip was being able to see and photograph members of the Slough Creek wolf pack while they were active in the Lamar Valley at the northeast corner of Yellowstone. As a follower of the progress of the wolves since their re-introduction to the greater Yellowstone ecosystem in 1995 & 1996, I was thrilled to finally see them in the wild. What a beautiful sight. Unfortunately, even with 1200mm of glass on the front of my camera, the photographs are unusable for print sales but they will provide me with memories for a lifetime.
Stay tuned, I will be adding some shots from this trip to the gallery later this fall.

Take care all...
