Our plans had changed a bit so Yellowstone National Park was a blur as we drove through with only a few stops to see hot springs or geysers or mud pots...
... but it was nice although not what we usually see.
Just outside the park on the road to Cody we stopped at a viewpoint and caught a Common Merganser scooting quickly across a lake ...
... and a great view of the surrounding forest ...
... that would be a perfect place for my Plein Air Painter friends...
... with the lake on one side and a superb mountain on the other
Fortutune did smile on us when Jill spotted this mama moos and we stopped for a picture and ...
... also got a picture of her young child.
It was a pleasant surprise great to see these beautiful animals so close and for quite a long time.
Quote of the Day ~ "Every creature is better alive than
dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright
will rather preserve its life than destroy it." ~ Henry David Thoreau
