A Beautiful Sky, Lovely Moose and Happy New Years Eve!

Big Bull Moose Beautiful Blue Sky and Sage Brush

I decided that I wanted to spend my New Year’s Eve in the Grand Tetons amongst the animals and my wife. I was actually surprised by how many people were actually on this same path.

I literally drove down a road that would require a four-wheel drive. Why? I noticed a whole bunch of cars at the end of this road.

So I decided to take this route and when I finally entered into the domain of these animals, the moose. I was awestruck by the beautiful backdrop of the sky, the clouds and the Sun against the Mountainside.

Even the teenagers we’re going at it as if they were in the rut showing off on the road. I was literally surrounded by a family of moose having a excellent time enjoying their New Year’s Eve!

This was one of the most amazing New Year Eve’s I’ve experienced.

Happy New Year to you all, thank you for all your support and keep coming back!

Eagle Taking Off Yellowstone Park

So here’s a funny story for you. We just happen to be driving around the Grand Tetons looking for something to photograph. It was the day of the elk hunt where the hunters we’re able to shoot on the elk that are in the National Elk Refuge.

What I noticed was there were a lot of birds around. Especially eagles! I remember saying to my wife that I wouldn’t be a professional photographer until I caught an eagle in mid-flight.

These are very smart creatures these creatures will keep an eye on you and as you get closer to them they will take off. This specific guy was sitting on a pole, I only had my macro lens on me which made it much harder because I had to get up close and personal with the eagle.

I walked up to the eagle I kept the camera up close to my face while inching closer and closer. As I moved the camera up to my eye to start taking more photographs this Eagle took off into the air.

I guess this means I’m a professional photographer now?

Big Bull Moose – A Moment Of Trust

Moose Standing Tall 5 Feet Away

I’ve been following this big bull moose and all his buddies since I have arrived in the Grand Tetons just a couple months ago.

I’ve been photographing them just about everyday when finally the big bull stood up at the perfect time and place!

What a gesture of acceptance!

Bighorn Sheep Eating and Hiding within The Brush

I was out photographing the bighorn sheep as they were in the rut. While doing so I happened to find this guy trying to hide behind the brush.

I had to get a snapshot of him because I felt like it was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. Plus, I feel like this would make a great ad.
