Most wildlife are preparing for winter right now. We’ve already had some snow though it won’t start accumulating yet, except in the high mountains. Some animals hibernate through the winter months while others migrate to lower elevations. Bison have been on the move in Yellowstone and a few mornings ago I came across several large herds on the move. The light on Fountain Flats near the Lower Geyser Basin was beautiful but the bison weren’t as cooperative as I would have hoped. I wanted them to move further out in the meadow so I could nicely frame the image with the steamy background but instead they decided to walk right past the pull out where I was parked. So I stayed in my car for safety and used a shorter lens. It didn’t allow for quite the angle I hoped for but I was still able to achieve what I hoped for while staying safe.
