The Small and the Graceful to the Big and the Gnarly
Awwwww, Wyoming. Good to be back home.
We had our Teton Village art show this last weekend, and it went very well. Made up for the not good show in Sun Valley. As we were driving to our favorite campground on Monday, we saw this swan family on Flat Creek. Al is so good to stop so I can get photos.
There are 6 cygnets, but this was the only photo I could get of the whole family together.
The little ones are all over the place. I love how this one was under the tail.
The reflections were perfect.
The cygnets are so cute, and fluffy. I wanted to just hold them, and pet them.
One evening when we were doing the show, we decided to take a drive. It was really hot last weekend, and the AC in the truck sounded like a great idea. The only critters we saw were these 3 huge male bison. It was unusual to see such big bulls hanging out together.
It was fun to see them, if only for a minute. They clearly had places to go.
I do love Wyoming wildlife.
Welcome back Mary! It seems like forever since I’ve seen your posts!
I.LOVE.WILDLIFE.
I need nature in my life every day, and if I have a bummer of a day, all I want really is to have a creature near me; we don’t have any pets YET (not until one of us retires) and I really need to have at least a dog. A horse would be nice, but that ain’t happening for these city folks!
Those swans….what elegance.
Wildlife, and animals of any kind certainly make life better.
to pet them could end with a surprise… an angry swan-mom nearly killed the mama as she came to close for a photo…;o)
That would certainly happen. I am all about giving all wild things space.
Hello, I love the Trumpeter Swan family. The little ones are so cute. The bison shots are awesome, so close. I hope you had a good zoom while taking those bison photos.
Enjoy your day!
Oh Yes, I have a big zoom lens for wildlife.
We have swans and swan families in the lake at the park where I walk, and they’re one of my favorite photo subjects. So beautiful. Love those bison too – the very definition of “powerful”.
The bison are so powerful, it’s amazing to me how people don’t see that.
I always love your photos! Thank you for sharing them with us!
Thank you! I love to share with you guys.
The swam family – adorable. More great photos!
Glad you’re back home where you’re happy!
The swam family are so cute! Love the peacefulness you captured, Mary!
Thanks. They are a great subject.
Those buffalo are so gorgeous! Beautiful area you are in.
I wonder which is more dangerous–bison or swan? A swan can be a real mean mama. :)
Wow, those pics are all amazing! I didn’t know that a baby swan was called a cygnet. So I learned something new here today! Bonus. The reflection pics are my fave. I want to cuddle one of those babies too!
It’s all so awesome….but I think I prefer the cute little cygnets. :)
such wonderful captures and things to see.
What a contrast between the graceful swans and their reflections (beautifully captured)… and the huge bison. Wow!!!!!
