  • Yellowstone National Park Day 38

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 Yes, we can count; we skipped over day 37. John did some reading on the Canon R7 to change settings to improve the focus. There are three shutter settings – mechanical, electronic first curtain, and electronic. That list goes from slowest to fastest, noisiest to quietest, and most vibration…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 31: NSFK

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, Jun 2025 Just a warning, this post may be classified as Not Safe For Kids (NSFK) and squeamish people. We are staying in a huge wilderness space, everyone has to eat, and not everyone is a vegetarian. Except for a few of the marmots, John took pictures holding the camera instead…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 30

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 We found out that the Natural Bridge Trail was open. They close it in the spring because Bridge Creek has spawning trout that attract bears. Sadly, this means that we missed the spawning trout. We used the trail at Bridge Bay Campground. The trail starts as packed dirt, but…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 26

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 John needed to make calls and deal with problems related to selling his property in Oklahoma, so we could not make it out at a reasonable hour. Rather than fight with other tourists, we waited until late afternoon/early evening to go out. The plan was to hike Cascade Lake…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 16

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 We planned on a short walk and getting a cancel stamp at Norris because the weather was “supposed” to be bad. Also, John had to climb that hill to get back from the White-faced Ibis photographs on his off day. There are a series of lakes across the middle…

  • 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.…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 14

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, May 2025 Today’s objective was to sleep in, work on John’s new camera photos, and hike the Lewis Lake Channel Trail to, hopefully, see a loon. The Lewis Lake Channel Trail is the trail we tried to hike on Day 10 but stopped around 0.9 miles in due to the trail…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 13

    Yellowstone National Park, WY & MT, May 2025 The major goal of today was to drive to West Yellowstone to pick up John’s new Canon SLR camera. It’s an updated version of his camera that has more pixels (mean more detailed pictures), better auto focus(crisper pictures), and can record video. The great part of new…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 12

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, May 2025 We spent most of the morning and afternoon doing needed chores like figuring out health insurance, purchasing travel insurance for states where our health insurance does not cover us, etc. We ended up going on sunset hike hoping to see animals that are most active in the evening like…
