End of Another Summer Season

As of yesterday most roads in Yellowstone National Park have closed for the 2022 summer season. In less than two months they’ll re-open to guided oversnow vehicles for the winter season. Back in May I had a pretty cool viewing of a wolf and my season ended with another pretty cool encounter a few days before the park closed. The light was pretty low with clouds and fog and the wolves were a bit too far out for even my longest lens, so the quality on this isn’t that great, except for viewing on the internet, but the moment was pretty cool so I had to share. Seven members of this pack (six seen in this photo) had regrouped and had a howling session for several minutes. Once they were done greeting each other, they quickly moved off into the trees behind them.
