Birds and Bears.. and an Update

by Editor on July 9, 2010

Well, I have been down in Texas a little over a week now.  Finally recovered from the marathon drive and am now thinking clearly and feeling a little more human.  (Getting no more than five hours of sleep a night has delayed the recovery process a bit!)

Recently returned from a trip down the coast to Corpus Christi.  Driving along the coast, watching flamingoes fly overhead, uncomfortably large snakes crawl through the grass at rest stops, and anglers reel in good-sized redfish I couldn’t but help compare the fauna of south Texas with that of Montana.  Up there, we worried about grizzlies and mountain lions.  Down here it’s snakes and sharks.  Pick your poison – it’s all interesting to photograph!

This grizzly was cruising around Yellowstone Lake on my last trip to the Park before leaving Montana.  I spied a funny looking brownish lump in the water and turned around to check it out.  It turns out Mr. Bear was going for a swim.  I guess some days we all need to cool off a little.
