 Cold and clear on the other hand create amazing and wonderful scenery. |
 Snowdunes near the Soda Butte Creek, just an example. |
 .......but this little creature didn't look that happy! (Both pictures are Lamar Valley). |
 Cold is no danger for the Bison baby; a coyote may be! Mum is very vigilant. |
 Yellowstone for us is wolves and bears in the first place. Spotting for hours, here Hellroaring overlook. |
 Same location, as it was most days. We saw quite a few Oxbow wolves from here. |
 Most remarkable: a wolf pack of five crossed the road not more than 500 yards from the high Yellowstone bridge at Mammoth. |
 That beautiful black was close, unbelievable. Little contrast in the picture, it is 06.15 am! |
 A real achievement: Liesbeth digiscoped this picture (= shooting through scope with dig. cam.). Steady hand. Nice Agate. |
 Another (wet) Agate, waiting for us to move on, wanting to get to the other side of the road. Little America. We moved on. |
 Well digiscoped again: three members of the legendary Druid pack (now 11 wolves) - Lamar Valley. |
 From wolves to bears: immense big grizzly near Old Faithful. Got very close to the car. |
 So close! Poor bear didn't look very happy, there were too many tourists around. |
 Another griz, near a kill. Funny bear. |
 Cinnamon black bear between Floating Island Lake and Phantom Lake |
 Peculiar shape of true Ursus Americanus, or black bear. Got many colors. |
 Coyotes look really different from wolves, but from a distance........ |
 Kill between Yellowstone bridge and Little America. A few of them had earlier chased away a wolf. |
 So much mass, so much melancholy. |
 Brave animal, picture taken from inside the car. Of course! |
 Elk are shy, unless they live in Mammoth. This one is really wild, but a picture was allowed before it horsejumped away. |
 Though we were at least 500 y away, we alarmed them. |
 Another member of the Yellowstone critter family: pronghorn. |
 Pregnant moose near Silvergate, Mt |
 Bighorn sheep descending to Yellowstone bridge near Tower. |
 Geese occupying former osprey nest - Lamar Valley. Look carefully, there are two! |
 Mountain goats on the slopes of the Barronette Mountain. Digiscoped. |
 Sandhill Cranes. Their call can be heard at great distances. |
 THE bald eagle nest of Yellowstone. Between West Yellowstone and Madison Junction. |
 Hellroaring outlook, this time nice weather. |
 Yellowstone and the Absaroka Range disappearing behind the wing. |
