Photo Safari on our last morning in Yellowstone

Back at Fishing Bridge very early in the morning.  

We signed up for a first for us--a photo safari.  We arrived at 5:30 a.m. at the Lake Hotel with an open but groggy mind.  A photographer took us to some nice places and gave us some tips on shooting.  It was interesting and helpful.

Swallows I think, she told us, but like I said it was very early.

Our restored Yellowstone "bus."

"This coffee tastes like shit."  We are coffee snobs.  We buy fresh roasted beans and grind them ourselves.  Need I say more?

Exquisite light and clouds make for more amazing pictures.

We were trying to catch a rainbow at the bottom of the falls at 9:30 a.m.  The sun wasn't too cooperative but it was worth a try.  A pale rainbow did emerge but my camera didn't pick it up. Susan's point and shoot did but I don't have a copy of her picture.

Right at the end of our tour, our guide spotted a pile of cars, knowing it had to be something good and it was--another grizzly.

And finally, a Swainson's hawk flew over head just before we ended our tour. What a morning!
