I now understand why so many “summer in Yellowstone” blogs have so few entries. The park calls each and every day…you get off work at 2 or 3 and it seems criminal to spend any part of the daylight (and the light doesn’t fade until 10 pm) not out in the park…or, if you’ve been out in the park you collapse into bed..especially if your next shift starts at 6;15 am.
When your choice is writing about moose or seeing moose there is no choice.
It’s as if writing about things interferes with experiencing them. The same thing can happen with the camera. Old Faithful is much more impressive when you just sit and watch it then when you look at it through a viewfinder. The viewfinder really inhibits the view.
With all that said, I shipped 30+ dvds home this weekend as a backup of all the raw, unedited images…so we start again tomorrow with a “spring shoot” on the Beartooth Highway
