Just one week later, all the leaves were gone. Good bye foliage, welcome stick season!
And happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

On a recent trip to Yellowstone, my son and I saw just about every major animal except moose: Bison, elk, coyote, bear (with bear cub), wolves. Here are a few shots I liked:

Hundreds of acres of forest in Yellowstone Park were destroyed in massive fires in 1988, requiring over 9,000 firefighters and affecting almost 800,000 acres of forest (bigger than Rhode Island). The remnants of that destruction can still be seen:

The J.H.Sessions factory building in Bristol, CT, caught my eye as I was driving by. Couldn’t get to the abandoned inside, but the outside provided plenty of photo opportunities. Click on any pic to see them in slideshow format:
This 13-point elk buck was watching over a herd of elk in Yellowstone National Park. I was fortunate enough to sneak up for 2 close-ups without being noticed (well, the second picture he’s looking right at me, so who am I kidding?).

On a recent trip to Yellowstone, I saw this bison and took these photos while I followed it for an hour as it crossed Lamar valley, chomping on grass while generally ignoring me. He must have known he had nothing to fear from me. Figures, since he’s the largest land animal in North America, weighing roughly a ton.

I loved how this lizard was perched upside down, looking around for danger (or is it food?). Captured in Costa Rica’s Manuel Antonio National Park.

Captured at midnight over our local beach. Had I waited till dawn, maybe I would have experienced the promised 60-meteors-per-hour experience. Maybe next year…

I encountered these Monarch butterflies during their migration southward. They had stopped at a tree that was covered with hundreds of them.

Captured during a hike in Marin, CA, in one of the many fortifications surrounding the Golden Gate Bridge.
Enjoyed watching this pelican cruise through the evening air in Sanibel, FL.
This trendy girl was very eager to get to the airport and onto her flight home. Captured on rental car bus at LAX.

Seems utterly plausible that Batman could swoop through this scene, doesn’t it?

These two captured my imagination in the New York subway. What is that man listening to? Where did that lady get her scarf?

Don Quijote would have had fun here (or gone completely crazy). Captured outside of Palm Springs.
