What an adventure!! I checked out all of your pictures. How amazing that you were able to get a wolf shot. And the bears, how awesome, good that you have the big daddy lens- perhaps you should get the bigger daddy belgrande if you are going to take more of the grizzlies. I have a friend who monitors wolves at yellowstone and takes amazing wildlife photos as well. His name is Mike Oconnell. He sends me pictures from yellowstone and excerpts from his time out in the field, that are fun to read.

I had hoped to spot a wolf or two when I was on Isle Royal, but never did.
I have heard wolves in Northern Wisconsin, but never have I seen one in the wild let alone take a picture of one.

On the one occasion that I had to take what could have been an incredable shot of a bull moose, I was so awestruck I could only inch my way behind a tree and stare at this amazing creature that had just charged down the hill, we had a stare down until finally got his point across and wandered away. That photo I’m afraid I can’t share, but it will be in my head for a long, long time.

All of your pictures are so good. My favorites are mama and baby grizzlies walking away, the wolf of course, the shelves at hot springs, and the thermals especially the one to the left of the redish one.
That is a place I want to go someday.
Scott showed me some pictures that you and he took in Arizona, a place I would like to visit in the spring, as I have heard the dessert is beautiful and in bloom then. Glad you had a good time.

Hope you are feeling better. Will see you soon.
