Caitlin, the kids and I had a wonderful day at Yellowstone Lake, a drive of at least an hour and a half (depending on how many cars stop to view the bison in Hayden Valley). Today we were delayed about a half hour as the line of cars came to a complete stop, with tourists abandoning their cars to take photos. After a ranger moved cars and bison along, we met Caitlin’s friend, Susan and her two boys at the lake- and had a delightfully relaxing day watching the boys play on the beach. I took several hundred photos- but am too worn out to post more than two.
Here are Miles and Henry playing along the water; the mountains in the background are where their daddy is backpacking for the next four days.
It wouldn’t be a trip to Yellowstone without at least one bison photo. This guy was walking through a field of wildflowers toward our car; you can see him kicking up dust as he ambled along.

Love it!
The shot of the boys is so intriguing. What is in that bucket that has them so focused? The composition is perfect. I love this. As adorable as the boys are and I love all your close ups of them, this is one of my favorite shots. Nice job.
Oh, and of course I live the roaming buffalo.
