August??? Already

Hard to believe it's August, since it's like 55° outside. I spent a month in Yellowstone, which was amazing. There are some pics here. The best stuff involved things I couldn't photograph: wolves, bears, eagles and the like. Some really breathtaking stuff was observed- wolves confronting bears, eagles fighting each other over fish... you know stuff that happens in nature. Which is an awful reminder that Yellowstone is about the only place left in the continental US where nature can still be observed. Sadly, there are people that think even this is too much. Lots of residents in the surrounding areas don't think that the bears and wolves even have a right to exist. I've taken to supporting the groups I think are doing the best jobs. Defenders of Wildlife is particularly devoted to Yellowstone's wolves.

I've been reading a book dealing with bears that has been quite good, I highly recommend it.

Other than that, nothing to see here, carry on.
