Yellowstone in Spring

One more Yellowstone photo. Northern Yellowstone is amazing. It's off the path of all the tourista marvels and so gives rise to true nature and wildlife enthusiasts. There was hardly a soul in site...as in, you could stop your car in the middle of the road for ten minutes without obstructing any traffic. some of the pullouts had people who had brought scopes and spent time looking for wildlife. That is how I got to see the bears. Where ever there was a scope there were usually a few people gathered around having a scope party. A lot of the people knew one another. It was a great little community of photo-sharing, birding discussions, where people had seen the alpha female wolf of this or that pack, etc. Yes, these people actually know all the individual wolves and which packs they belong to!
It was like Bright Kite but in a much more beautiful, experiential setting. This is the way to experience an interactive community!
