I'm back home from vacation. Got home just before 1 in the morning. Got an added bonus--my manager called and told me not to come in to work Friday because the truck for Friday morning was really small.
Weather kind of sucked, as you may have gathered from my earlier posts, but this meant I got to see Yellowstone in winter and I saw much much more wildlife than I ever did there before.
So here's some pics:
Yellowstone National Park Sign and a Japanese Tourist
(I really don't want to be Mr. Ugly American here, but there were a lot of Japanese in the park, and they annoyed the living shit out of me. Apparently it is not enough for them to just take pictures of the wildlife and scenery. They HAVE to be in all the pictures, and they will hold up traffic and butt in front of other people to do this. I mean, I saw them posing for pictures in the middle of crowded boardwalks in geyser basins, holding up people trying to walk on through.
Interesting but not sucky about the Japanese tourists--they all had huge-ass cameras with huge-ass zoom lenses. I found that interesting, considering we are talking about people who built a bustling economy making electronic things smaller.)
A grizzly bear's bare ass (I think this is Grand Teton National Park)
Stupiddle Stupidity.
What those two idiots were gawking at
(Yes, those are baby buffalo. Yes, the one is completely in midair. They were feeling frisky this day.)
The buffalo stampede we ended up stuck behind for an hour and a half.
Moar stupid people doing stupid things near large, tramply, stabby animals.
These buses are so neat.
Black bear makes an appearance, does not steal any pick-a-nic baskets.
Wile. E. Coyote drops by, on its way to its den full of quality Acme products.
The town of West Yellowstone, Montana.
(Note: Bullwinkle's Bar, in the second photo, is a Green Bay Packers bar. Yes, they follow the green and gold out there. When's the last time you saw a Cincinnati Bengals bar?
I almost got a good shot of this pool until these two tourists set up shop right in front of me.
On the way back, we stopped at a rest stop in Utah and saw hummingbirds.

I watched the early ones on a black & white set. Sigh, I had such a disadvantaged childhood.....
