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, 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.…
