These pictures were taken around 12:00pm today. I saw the fire in my neighborhood and quickly turned around to get my camera. I took a little over 140 pictures. Luckily no one was hurt, but they estimate $500,000 in damages. The fire was at the 1800 block of Branch Hollow in Carrollton Texas.
I have been really busy with Weddings the past 2-3 months. I have also been photographing babies. This is Evan at 8 days old
Well today was the last full day for us in the park and it was my birthday. We woke up bright and early to head out and to find and photograph wildlife. Around 8am we found 3 Otter’s playing in a creek. I got plenty of great photos. Jill and I took a short hike to Wraith falls and got to the the waterfall all to ourselves. This was one of the best birthdays I have ever had!
UPDATE: Photos below
On day 6 we headed back into Mammoth. On the way we got to see many things. We saw the Grand Tetons in the distance, more thermal features, the Yellowstone Grand Canyon with the bonus of a half frozen waterfall and of course plenty of wildlife.
While watching the waterfall from a viewpoint we witnessed a good portion of the frozen section of the waterfall break free. This was really a great and memorable moment!
Day 5 has been awesome. Today we focused mostly on the natural geological features of the park. MacNeal was very good at explaining the features to the group.
For photos I mostly focused on the colors and textures. Later on in the day MacNeal and I went out and did some night shots. Being out in the park by Old Faithful at midnight is an experience I will never forget. All you hear are geysers going off and the occasional animal calling. I will never forget this night!
Pictures will be uploaded later…..
