And they are darn good eaten:clap . I had a half pound Buffalo Burger in Montana last week. Oh man it took several very large beers to wash that puppy down.:ivar :ivar

    Great pics! I've always wanted to try a buffalo burger, but haven't got a chance to yet. :D

    Yeah, icon and surprisingly fast too! I love the flowers and bison shot (your first one).

    Worked a couple summers in Yellowstone and used to ride my bicycle from the dorm to the hotel (where I worked). There would be times I'd be late and racing down the trail and come around a corner and there'd be a bison standing in the middle of the trail. Well you've seen those yellow bison warning leaflets the park service hands out (the bison goring a camera toting tourist)... so obviously I'd have to jump off my bike and get ready to climb a tree... one time I actually did have to climb a tree. The bison walked over, sniffed around the base of the tree, then just started grazing again. I had to wait half-hour until it moved on before I could climb down.

    BTW: little trivia, the park service folks actually have a betting pool every year for the date the first tourist in Yellowstone will get gored by a bison. Yup, it happens EVERY year-- first one is usually around mid-June.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
