Today, we toured the Lamar Valley on the lookout for animals, and we found them! We just started driving into the park from the west entrance and spotted two Sandhill cranes and a chick next to the crane on the left. It looks like a fuzzy, rusted spot. Next is a coyote den with aContinue reading “Visiting Yellowstone part 5.”

Visiting Yellowstone Part 4.
We leave the park today and head to Virginia and Nevada City in Montana. These two towns are what remains of the gold rush in Montana. The view of the mountains and valleys while driving along US 287 to the towns, the snow-covered mountains in June, and the sunlight hitting the valley. Virginia City hasContinue reading “Visiting Yellowstone Part 4.”
Visiting Yellowstone Part 3
Today was my first day in the park, traveling to the lower loup. The main road in Yellowstone is a figure eight, which breaks up the park into the upper and lower loop. The lower loop is where the geothermal activity is: Old Faithfull, hot springs, mud pots, and more. It was rainy that day,Continue reading “Visiting Yellowstone Part 3”
Visiting Yellowstone Part 2
It’s the first full day of the trip, and we’re off to the Grizzle and Wolf Discovery Center for a guaranteed view of Grizzle beras and Grey Wolves. The bears at the Discovery Center are in danger because they are too comfortable around people. Bears like that are sometimes put down, and bringing them toContinue reading “Visiting Yellowstone Part 2”
Visting Yellowstone Part 1
Traveling to Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone is mainly in the state of Wyoming, but it spans into Montana and Idaho. It’s huge at 3,472 square miles, 2.2 million acres or 900,000 hectares, larger than European countries. So it is Big. There is lodging in the park, but it books early, and due to preservation laws,Continue reading “Visting Yellowstone Part 1”
Dead Tree
I love dead trees in photos. I’m not sure why, but they’re beautiful to me. I also turn them into black-and-white images, which show off the texture of the wood.
Steller’s jay
It’s just a rad bird: the Steller’s jay, aka Cyanocitta stelleri, posing for everyone in Bryce National Park in Utah (USA). The blue pattern on the wings shows its relation to the Blue Jay, plus it has a great mohawk.
High Beams
Nighttime at the Fins spot at Arches National Park in Utah (USA). The rocks are triangular, like fish fins. Our guide turned on his car’s high beams so we could navigate the path. The yellow-tinted highlights reflected on the sandstone rock; sometimes you need help with a photo.
Red, Black, and White
I watched something about ballet, which piqued my interest in ballet images. Below are red point shoes and a black and white tutu from Amazon. So I wouldn’t suggest dancing in those 20-dollar shoes. https://www.zazzle.com/pair_red_ballet_pointe_shoes_with_tutus_square_sticker-217952395161144242 https://www.zazzle.com/ballet_shoes_postcard-256824504630807687 https://www.zazzle.com/vivid_red_shoes_acrylic_print-256145381116059535
Black, White, and Cold
The jagged landscape of Antarctica. The sky was gray with incoming snow, so I turned the photo back and white to focus on the rocks. The seagull is a nice touch for scale, so glad it came flying by. Does anyone see the three penguins in the bottom left?

Fun with Photoshop AI-Generated Images
I woke up in the middle of the night and thought I should try out the AI-generated filter in Photoshop. Somehow I started with Dinosaurs Samurai and ended with Dinosaurs mariachi band.
