  • Grand Prismatic Spring Day 39

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 The plan for today was to get up at 7 am, leave by 8am, and arrive at the Steel Bridge Parking at about 9 am to hike to the Grand Prismatic Spring Overlook and Fairy Falls. John stayed up until about 1 am culling and processing photos and writing…

  • 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 35: Part 3

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 This was attempt number two to get decent pictures. The day was still sunny, so the light was decent for pictures on the water. At this point, John realized that the “One-Point Auto-Focus” was not one point. He changed up some of the configurations to turn animal tracking on…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 35: Part 4

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 (If you want to skip the sad camera lament, feel free to skip to the pictures.) Rant This is the tale of the third trip out. This trip was not a complete disaster, but the pictures from the Canon EOS R7 are less often properly focused than the Canon…

    Yellowstone National Park, June 2025 John and Kate spent the morning and early afternoon sleeping in and getting things done around the trailer.

  • 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 29

    Yellowstone National Park, MT & WY, June 2025 Nez Perce Picnic Area A couple days ago we went to Nez Perce Picnic Area and saw a Great Blue Heron nest in the far distance. Today, we decided to use a pull off that was closer to the trees in which we saw the nest. (John…

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 28

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 Today was a recovery and catch up day. We got the blog up to date. We relaxed. We went owl hunting. The only thing I can say about our owl hunting is that owls are in no fear of becoming endangered due to our efforts. There were owls reported…

  • Jackson National Fish Hatchery Day 25: Part 2

    Jackson, WY, June 2025 I’ve never been to a fish hatchery. So, visiting the National Fish Hatchery in Jackson, WY would result in both learning about the fish hatchery and obtaining cancel stamps 🙂 From the Grand Teton National Park Day 25 – GlampingWithCats.com blog, this facility was working to preserve and maintain two fish.…
