  • Yellowstone National Park Day 13: Part 2

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, May 2025 I setup my Canon XSI a long time ago. That one had a manual. The used Canon T7I that I just bought does not. It took a while to figure it out because no manual and no internet. Well, not internet at Barnes Hole, where we were testing it.…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 8

    Yellowstone National Park, May 2025 Today we tried to get out a little earlier, but we were unsuccessful. This was mostly because I couldn’t find my keys, and it took a while to locate them. Once we did get out, our first stop was to hike Storm Point. My main purpose was to see the…
