$25.00
This is nature at its finest. You can find wild animals in many places, but how often do you find them in their natural environment looking carefree and undisturbed. These big horn were migrating into lower a lower altitude for the winter months ahead. This was mother natures way to assuring there would be food to eat until they returned to the top of the mountains for the summer.

A bison calf, Original Fine Art Photography

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 17:01:07 -0500

$20.00
As we enter the spring each year, a new crop of animals appear in Yellowstone National Park. This spring it was soon after the birth of this young bison that I appeared on the scene with my camera.

My zoom lens allowed me to take the photograph without upsetting the mother and the young calf was very content. As you can see from the surroundings, it was early spring in Yellowstone.

A fawn in the pasture, Original Fine Art Photography

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 16:52:16 -0500

$20.00
As I walked through our pasture to take this picture there was a doe and her twins. I approached them in some fairly tall grass and "mama" beckoned the babies to follow her away from me into another field. The doe jumped the fence as did one of the fawns. This one didn't make it over the fence, I stood still and eventually the fawn became comfortable with me standing there.

I then took of series of pictures, this being my favorite.

Speed Limit, 25 MPH, Original Fine Art Photography

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 17:30:05 -0500

$20.00
What is the speed limit for bison in Yellowstone National Park. Standing beside this sign is a way of bragging or perhaps a way of telling both friends and enemies that you may have to work hard to keep up with him. Actually this is not the complete story. The bison’s best defense when they are in the open grasslands of Yellowstone National Park is to run. They can reach a top speed of 35 miles per hour for up to a half hour. So if you are a visitor in Yellowstone, don’t aggravate this critter, especially if you are strolling in the general area where he is grazing, loafing, or relaxing. If you are a predator, capturing the bison is no easy task either, especially if he wants to run or turn on you with his powerful head and horns.

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 17:30:05 -0500

$20.00
The Mountain Bluebird is the most vivid and beautiful bird. Most of the accolades are aimed at the male. The female does most of the work, yet she is beautiful in her own right. There is blue around the tail feathers and a halo around her eyes. Most of the ladies are not as attractive as this one.

This lady is a resident of Yellowstone National Park

After a long winter of hibernation, the Grizzly has an empty stomach and a furious appetite. During the period of no eating, their stomach shrinks and they many small helpings until their stomach has stretched to its normal size.

This bear was just out of hibernation and had spent several days devouring a carcass. He would eat and rest, then eat and rest, and the day we took this picture, he was leaving the carcass for the first time in 3 days. He was full and was ready for a nap.

A zoom lens made this photograph possible and kept the photographer safe.

The pecking order of the predators starts with the wolf or the bear. Once they and the rest of their family is full, they rest and the next crew arrive, which is usually a coyote or the eagle.

A neighbor in Montana called to tell me that there were 2 bald eagles feasting on some "road kill" near her ranch. By the time I arrived, the eagles were full and the ravens had taken over the carcuss. This eagle is full, looks full, and is relaxing on a fence post. Tomorrow he will be soaring the geography looking for another meal.

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:15:33 -0500

$17.50
This photograph looks more like a painting than a photo. This picture, taken near the end of the summer, represents a male bison who has experienced one of the finest years of vegetation in Yellowstone National Park for years. The snowfall in the winter and late spring of 2008 created the a lush environment for the wildlife.

This bull is a fit as I've ever seen and then posed in the area of some large rocks. An artist could not have created a better surrounding for a picture. We will make this photo available in other sizes or as well as 4" x 5.25" note cards supplied in lots of 12 with envelopes for mailing.

Western Meadowlark, sturnella-neglecta ,5 x 5 Framed Fine Art Photograph

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:13:24 -0500

$27.50
The Western Meadowlark ,sturnella-neglecta (Audubon), was chosen as the State bird of Montana in 1930 by a vote of the school children of the state. By an act of the Montana Legislature, the western meadow lark was adopted as the official state bird on March 14, 1931. It is also the state bird in the western states of Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, and Wyoming.

The meadowlark was first noted by Lewis and Clark in 1805 near Great Falls, Montana. The neglecta part of the formal name occurred in 1844 when Audubon noticed there was a difference in the wetter climate (eastern) and the drier climate (western) meadowlarks and named the western meadowlark, neglecta as it had been overlooked for so long.

Its bright colors, fearless behavior, abundance, and above all its loud, cheerful song make the Western Meadowlark one of the best known of western birds. The song is often heard on movie sound tracks even when the setting is far from the bird's range.

An abundant and familiar bird of open country across the western two-thirds of the continent, the Western Meadowlark is beloved for its melodic song. It is frequently seen singing atop fenceposts along roadsides in native grassland and agricultural areas. A male Western Meadowlark usually has two mates at the same time. The females do all the incubation and brooding, and most of the feeding of the young.

Nice photograph, tough day, Original Fine Art Photography

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:13:23 -0500

$20.00
It was a struggle for this bull elk even though the photograph does not tell the total story. While you and I may think this is beautiful, the temperature was 5 degrees below zero, there was at least 18 inches of snow, and the only food to eat was bark from trees and shrubs. A park ranger once described to me that the elk’s winter diet would be more like humans having a diet of paper. This bull elk, who probably weighs over 700 pounds, is one of 15,000 to 22,000 that winter in Yellowstone.

Elk (Cervus elaphus) are the most abundant large mammal found in Yellowstone National Park; paleontological evidence confirms their continuous presence for at least 1,000 years. Although climate and elevation are important criteria to the survival of the elk in the winter time, this bull will survive as this picture was taken in March.

You may have doubts about this elk’s ability to survive, but he ate well in the fall in preparation for the winter, snowfall and cold weather. He started preparing for winter as the days got shorter and the temperatures got colder. There may be up to 75 inches of snow during the winter season and the temperatures can get well below zero degrees fahrenheit. The elk are at their weakest as the winter extends into spring, hence, the visitors to the park are asked to give them as much space as possible and the predators will stalk the elk and pursue either the oldest or weakest.

Soon this bull will lose his antlers and new ones will start to grow back in May. As you can see there are 6 tines or points on each side and the total weight of the rack could approach 30 pounds. These are important parts of his arsenal when he starts sparring for authority when mating season starts in the fall.

Sing, Sing a song, Original Fine Art Photography

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:13:23 -0500

$20.00
I have visited Yellowstone National Park over 100 times since the mid-90’s. On only 2 occasions have I been close enough to capture an image of the canines with this amount of emotion and feeling. The artistic quality of those images can only be determined by you, the viewer.

On a recent trip to the Lamar Valley, I was returning to the Mammoth Hot Springs entrance when I spotted a buffalo carcass and a pack of coyotes. I took a number of photographs, 2 of which I am fond of and I hope you are also. Three coyotes had left the carcass and appeared to be leaving the feast when suddenly 2 of the coyotes appeared to resent the company of the 3rd one, and attacked it. The attacked showed definite signs of submissive behavior while the other 2 turned in the opposite direction.

Soon they started to howl, like a celebration of the riddance of the one attacked. A picture of the attacked coyote is shown to illustrate the reason for their singing. The howling continued for some time, which was when I took this picture.

I have captioned the photograph as, “Sing, and sing a song”. Looking at what I now believe to be the alpha male and female, they would remind me of a happy couple singing their favorite song. If only I could relate what they were really saying.

Montana Red Tail Hawk in flight, Fine Art Photography

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:13:23 -0500

$30.00
Before this Red Tail Hawk was inflight, it was sitting on a fence post, and you probably asked yourself, how long did he sit there, how patient was he. The answer you see in this picture. The fence post is in the left corner and the hawk is on its way. As was documented on the other picture, he was hungry and he didn't fly very far before it landed on another fence post.

If you haven't seen the red tail hawk, captioned, "I'm looking, I'm waiting",it's pictured next to our inflight hawk, go there to learn the rest of the story.

The price on this item has been revised. An 11 x 14 inch numbered item of this photograph in an "old faithful inn" frame just sold for $275. This is a bargin without the frame.
