We had a really big driving day yesterday, traveling over 500 miles from Estes Park in Colorado to Cody, Wyoming where we are now to visit both the Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Teton National Park.

Needless to say, we did not have an early start this morning! We were on the road towards Yellowstone National Park when we came across a group of people standing on the side of the road all with seriously enormous camera lenses watching something. We stopped, I hopped out and some very kind gentleman brought me up-to-date. A Mummy Grizzly bear had just killed an Elk, and, together with her two cubs, the family was enjoying lunch! These are not great images, as the scene was too far in the distance for my camera lens, and I decided not to take-up Michael’s advice and wrap my head in bacon and move closer to get a better picture!

Driving into the Park, we came across a small herd of Bighorn Sheep grazing on the hillside. This is not the time of year when the sheep are really looking their best as they are shedding their winter coats. But they were very cute and kindly posed for photographs!

And, finally, the majestic Bison (also known as American Buffalo), who are grazing everywhere. They too are shedding their winter coats, but it was such a thrill to see and photograph them!
