Along the Streams of Yellowstone

Much of our Yellowstone trip was spent fishing - well, Steve was fishing, not me.  Above, Steve brings in a fish on Slough Creek. 

I took pictures of the reflections,

the frogs (about 2 inches long),

the forest service cabin,

and the wagons bringing tourists back and forth from the Silver Tip Dude Ranch, located in Montana, just outside the park border.  The old Slough Creek wagon road is still used to bring supplies and tourists to the ranch.

Here's an 18 inch cutthroat trout that Steve caught on Soda Butte Creek in Lamar Valley. 

After showing it off, he carefully returned it to the stream in good condition.
I took pictures of sandhill cranes,

green-wing Teals,

Canada geese hanging out on a placid oxbow,

bison,

and pronghorn antelope.  The hills were hazy due to smoke from the fires much of the time, but we had a good experience anyway.
