Ramblings

A roughly 14″ cutthroat trout caught and released today in the Hoback River.

This is one of the few images I have taken in the past few weeks; see the previous post for explanation. I was on my way home Sunday after fishing all day, when I came across a small herd of bison crossing the road in Teton Park.

I apologize for the lack of posts lately, but my attention has been elsewhere – the summer fishing season is here. My free time has been consumed by fly-fishing at the expense of my photography. I always have my camera with me though, so I’ll make it a point to take more photographs. The below image is of a small Snake River Fine-spotted Cutthroat I caught and released in the Gros Ventre River today.

This weekend my parents are in town for a visit, so we decided to take a little road trip. On Saturday we drove through Yellowstone on our way up to Beartooth Pass, and today we took the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway to Cody and then back through Yellowstone. Though the scenery was incredible, I didn’t take too many pictures. Below are few that I did take.

As usual there was the one fox kit out and about when I stopped by the den after work. It wasn’t very active though, as it mostly napped at the den entrance.

There was one kit out when I checked after work. This little guy is definitely more approachable than its siblings.

Fishing was the reason behind a trip to Yellowstone earlier today, so photography wasn’t a priority. On my way home, though, I came across a bison herd that had a few calves and had to stop for a few images. This one was quite playful as it was running and jumping all around.

I checked on the den again today after work. The kits are definitely wary, but I manged to get a few images of one of them.
