Thanks Kim! Seals of any age are fascinating to me but the pups always steal the show.

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful wildlife photos! And I think the one from Nice qualifies as its own sort of wild life.

Thanks Cathy – Hope your holidays are going well and that you have a happy and healthy new year!

You take such beautiful photos – it’s always a pleasure to see them!
Also, I had a quick question for you about Yellowstone, if you don’t mind me asking. Was May a good time to go and would you have any suggestions about visiting the park, or anything else? My husband and I are hoping to go in 2013 (we were thinking around May/June), and we would love any suggestions!
Thanks so much, and all the best for 2013 (and hopefully more beautiful photos!
)!

Dounia,
Thank you! I really liked being there in May as there were fewer people than the summer months. I think that is the biggest advantage. The disadvantage is that the services (hotels, restaurants, etc) may not be open yet – many open memorial day. Another disadvantage (depending on how you look at it) is that the weather can vary greatly. I saw brilliant sunshine, pouring rain, and snow during my week there. I kind of tried to see the whole park so I planned my trip so I would at least get to ride through most of it. I spent more time in the northern sections because I wanted to photograph wildlife and there are more opportunities up there. In any case, I think you’ll have a great time. Have a great new year!
PS – I liked it so much last year that I’m meeting another photographer friend up there this May.

Thanks so much for your detailed response, Scott, I really appreciate it! I absolutely loved your wildlife photos from Yellowstone, and I’m hoping we’ll have a chance to see that for ourselves. And I’ll be looking forward to more photos this year after your trip in May!

January 4, 2013 at 5:51 pm
Maybe! Once I know our dates we’ll have to see if they coincide with when you’ll be there

All of these are just marvelous, but the wolf face really captivates me.

Some really nice wildlife shots,Scott – including the arm out the window
January 9, 2013 at 6:33 am
I’m glad you liked “the arm”. I saw that out of the corner of my eye and had to take it…kinda makes you wonder about “the rest of the story” inside….
