  • Yellowstone National Park Day 27

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 Today, we planned to sit somewhere and watch. We had talked about this a few times, but we had not done it.

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 23

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 We planned to do nothing today because John had to make a lot of calls.

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 20

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 One of the office workers told Kate that there were goslings at Madison, so Kate needed to go see the goslings.

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 17: Part 2

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 The first part of Day 17 had all of John’s professional looking pictures and videos.

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 In Yellowstone, you do not make a run to the border; you make a run to Cody for groceries. Cody is about 75 miles from Fishing Bridge out the east entrance of the park. It is essentially 75 miles of little more than wilderness and a few campgrounds. On…

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, Jun 2025 (Note: There are a lot of videos on this post. Some of them are longer. We down size and reduce the bit rate, but it might still take a bit to load some of them.) When John downloaded the bird list to identify a duck, he ran across the…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 15: Part 3 – Beaver False Alarm

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 Spoiler Alert: It was a Beaver false alarm. John was taking pictures of a male and female Barrow’s Goldeneye Duck from Fishing Bridge. The ducks were diving to feed, and it looked like they stirred up a stick from the bottom. A short time later, Kate started yelling about…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 13: Part 3

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, May 2025 (Note: These images are just click to expand because I am trying to catch up.) After the hiking at Barnes Hole Road, we went Harlequin Lake, which is only a mile and a half from the Madison Visitor Center. On the drive to Harlequin Lake, I figure out that…

  • 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.…
