The last of winters ice and snow tenuously clings to the walls of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. The ice cone at the base of the Lower Falls can, on a good winter, reach 200 feet tall. The Lower Falls thunders 308 feet to the canyon floor. It can be hard to visualize how tall the Lower Falls truly is. The trees in the bottom left are over 50 feet tall and are dwarfed by the waterfall and ice. There is a bit of photographic compression going on here. I am using a telephoto lens which compresses the whole scene. The waterfall and ice are closer together than the trees are to the waterfall and ice.
Grand Geyser erupting in the winter morning light. The bursts from Grand were beautifully backlit which showed the beautiful texture in the eruption.
The Canada Goose. Not normally an exciting bird to photograph, but when it's double digits below zero and the geese have been resting along the Gibbon River, magic happens. The geese are frosted which shows off their feathers.
