We enjoyed the scenery after leaving Old Faithful and headed north to Madison.
We headed west after getting to Madison to do the West Entrance drive.
I asked Cerwin to stop so I could get a photo of this reflection.
As I was taking the picture, I noticed that the reflection was going to soon be distorted by this mother duck and her babies.
A little farther down the road I asked him to stop again when I saw these Canada geese.
I think they had just taken their morning bath, because they were doing a lot of preening.
This was kind of shadowed, but I think it is an osprey ~ looking for breakfast.
At West Entrance we turned around and headed back toward Madison, then Gibbon Falls.
This was an incredibly beautiful falls because of the large, black rocks.
Pretty weeds on the edge of the falls.
Our next stop was Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.
You have some wonderful photos here, Doris! Those bison are magnificent, and you got so close to them! It took a while to recognize the first shot as being scenery and not an airplane! And I’m confused about turning around to go to the falls — did you literally turn around and go outside the park, or did the road make a u-turn within the park?
We turned around because we had driven to West Entrance, but did not want to go outside the park. However, we wanted to travel every road inside the park. (There are 5 entrances to the park .) If you go outside the park, you have to go through the process of showing your ID to get back inside – which is not a big deal, but sometimes there is a long line.
Of course! As I read this, I was thinking you were headed towards the Park, when you were actually inside! It must have been getting late when I viewed this post. I do love your photos!
Thanks. I can easily confuse people. 🙂
Hah! Not your fault at all — I’m trying to catch up, and reading too much too fast!
