Tim says I whine about not seeing enough bears–at least enough to get good pix…and that typically, right after I whine, we see bears (how’s that for reinforcing the whining!)…well, this morning changed all that 🙂 I couldn’t sleep in…so around 8 I abandoned Tim and went off on my own. Needless to say, bison are making me a little skittish, but I stopped to take a few bison pix. I went up as far as Madison–and then turned around–less than 12 miles from the Inn, what do I spy at a convenient turnoff, even–but this wonderful subadult grizzly….clambering on the hillside and even stopping to munch on a few flowers. I had to shoot fast, didn’t even have time to turn the car off….but this is the result.
As always, if I forget to hyperlink the images–the full size images are always on my flickr site.
Sunday is Tim’s birthday–but we both have to work–so we’ll be doing something calm tomorrow evening–a quick trip to West Yellowstone and a really good pizza or some barbq.
