My wife and I are working in Yellowstone this summer for the sole reason that we'd be able to have the 2.2 million acres at our beck and call to photograph.

So far, our first week has been a photographers dream. We've seen and photographed every animal except a Grizzley, a Moose and Wolfves. We've seen both the wolves and a Grizzley, but they were too far off to get any decent shots of so we just sat glassing them through scopes and binoculars, probably one of the best way to see wildlife in the park!

So here is what we've captured in the first week.

    Wonderful pictures, including several species I wasn't lucky enough to see in Yellowstone.

    I remember useful traffic jams caused by wildlife, such as when a coyote slowly crossed the road. That was a video moment. Bison must hold the record for halting traffic, which they can do by taking over a road or hanging out nearby.
