Bull Moose resting near the Beartooth Mountains in Montana in the fall.
Beartooth Butte and Lake in Northwestern Wyoming, along one of the most spectacular roads in the lower 48, Beartooth Highway. The sky wasn’t perfect, but the green of the grass and the sepia tones of the rock, made it a nice moment.
The Beartooth-Absorka Mountains heading SouthWest toward Nye, Montana. It was a hazy day (I tried to make the most of it!) and the first time I had an opportunity to bring out my new camera! Taken with a Nikon D80 18-135mm lens.
A weekend camping in the Beartooth Mountains near Mystic Lake. One of my favorite captures from the weekend.
These are my Beartooth’s. This is truly Montana to me…

Black bear along Beartooth Highway near Red Lodge Montana didn’t know whether to eat or smell the flowers.
During a trip to Yellowstone we made the drive through Beartooth Pass. We got caught in a blizzard at the top of the pass. The snowstorm resulted in a few nice images though. This is one of them. If I located myself correctly, Google Maps calls this Beartooth Creek so that’s what I am going with. ;) Canon EOS 20D / SIGMA 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM / 3-exposure HDR

Yellowstone Spring Babies / A.M. Ruttle / 6/09 The drama of Yellowstone plays out every day, but particularly in the spring when the babies of the season arrive. Bison calves cavort and nestle next to their moms to nap. When wolves start circling bison, other bison come running over to help. We watched recently as a group of cows and calves were able to keep some wolves at bay. Then moments later the wolves were over a small ridge, tails up and wagging, heads down and pointing inward toward something on the ground. There are so many biologists following the wolves of Yellowstone that we were able to overhear a walky-talky report that they might have found a still-born calf – there had been no tussle between wolves and bison, they had one minute been circling bison then moments later just magically came up with something that had their attention. The predators of the park are particularly focused on the babies in the spring, and so it’s always a bit of a “thank goodness moment” to see a healthy baby that is not being carried off. One such personally thrilling moment, was finding an elk cow in the high country, and noticing that she slowly wandered away from the spot where she had been grazing/browsing. Carefully approaching the area where she had been, we found a fuzzy rock… hmm, fuzzy rock?? No, it was an elk calf flattened to the ground, hidden in thick sage. I was able to creep slowly toward it while my family kept an eye out for the mom (or any grizzlies) to materialize. What a treasure of a moment, watching the fawn’s breathing carefully to make sure it wasn’t stressing. It’s instinct to lie still was so strong that I was able to approach within an inch of its muzzle and bend back some grass that was in the way of the photograph. / / A particularly poignant moose drama was playing out at Trout Lake this spring. A few days before our arrival, a cow moose had been attacked; some say it was wolves (note the slash on her throat), some say is was a grizzly. She survived the attack and within possibly another day she delivered a fine healthy moose calf. Imagine being torn up from an attack and having to watch out for a newborn! Those of us keeping an eye on her were dismayed to see the baby butting her lying down, as it was trying to nurse. Would she be able to rise so that the calf could suckle? / / Eventually she did rise and the calf was able to eagerly nurse. More of her wounds were visible when she stood up… on her shoulder, her right hip, and behind her right leg. She definitely gets Mom Of the Spring award from our family! Both mom and baby were doing well when we left Yellowstone. It’s possible that this mother has figured out what some bears have discovered… that near the roadsides can almost be a safer place to hang out with their babies… with all the people and sometimes throngs of cameras discouraging the predators.
A baby elk fawn hidden amongst sagebrush by its mother. Careful not to stress the baby, my companions and I quietly edged toward the youngster. Not moving a muscle, the fawn’s defense mechanism was in full sway. Elk fawns remain motionless when left by their mothers for short periods of time…apparently scentless, the babies are difficult for predators to detect when they remain motionless. This fawn did not flinch or twitch a muscle upon our approach. Mother elk remained in hiding in some nearby trees, wary of us but not sufficiently alarmed to attack. This being bear country we remained vigilant for any possible grizzlies’ approach on the mountain meadow. Retreating as quickly as possible in order to allow mother elk to return to her fawn’s side, I thanked both mama and her baby for this special encounter, wishing them both godspeed. Encountered at an overlook along the Beartooth Highway in Wyoming, USA. This exceptionally scenic highway runs from Cooke City, Montana (the NE entrance to Yellowstone National Park) to Red Lodge, Montana yet much of the route is located within the state of Wyoming.

Abandoned miner’s cabin in the “New World Mining District” in Montana’s Beartooth mountains only miles from the northeast corner of Yellowstone park. Fortunately, the federal government bought out mining rights several years back so no more depredation of this extroardinary landscape is likely. It is a valuable buffer to our treasured 1st national park. Canon EOS-1D Mark II, Canon 17-40 L@ 23mm, 1/60, f/16, ISO 100 / Processed on Adobe Lightroom 2.2.

Federal government has purchased the mining rights so this beautiful country should remain relatively undisturbed in the future. Famous Pilot and Index peaks show behind the ruins.
