Yellowstone

Ted and I drove to Yellowstone for Labor Day weekend, meeting Rusty and Deborah for a weekend of camping. The park was beautiful, and we saw lots of wildlife - elk, a bald eagle, river otters, deer, chipmunks, herds of bison, coyotes,and a black bear. Perhaps most prevalent was the breed of human known as "those to whom the rules do not apply." We could not believe how many people we saw who freely walked off of the boardwalks, ignoring the signs, and stupidly approaching wildlife. One woman tried to justify her proximity to the geysers by saying she was "only posing for a photo." Here are a few of my photos - very hard to choose which ones to post!
