Someone shook the snow globe, and just like that winter returns to Yellowstone. A few inches of snow fell overnight blanketing the pines in white, and reminding us that things can change that fast. But in Yellowstone, that’s part of its magic, isn’t it? #snowglobe #yellowstone #buff4tanman #gobuffs .

This evening was probably the best grizzly bear encounter of the spring season. The combination of a great subject and great light led to an incredible photographic opportunity that doesn’t happen very often. There was no crowd and the bears were able to do whatever they wanted without interference. Pretty much everyone stayed in their cars, which allowed the mother to take advantage of the best grass right by the road.
Yesterday was one of the most amazing mornings I’ve ever had in the park. On my way through Swan Lake Flats at sunrise, I stopped and watched a cow elk and calf trotting through the sagebrush, backlit by the golden hues of the rising sun. I was thinking that was a pretty great start to the morning, when minutes later I came upon a pair of courting grizzly bears not far from the road. They were so close you could hear every grunt, huff, and growl as they interacted. They would nuzzle a bit, pace around each other, and spar as they performed their courting dance. I got to watch them for almost an hour from a safe spot in the passenger seat of the truck. I was awestruck.
If you turn up the volume, you can hear their growls.

The moment... sorry for those who are sensitive to this kind of stuff but this was one of the most surreal events I have ever witnessed in the wild. People might forget that Yellowstone is a wild place with stuff like this playing out all the time. Nature can be intense but it continues to fascinate me profoundly. The image quality isn’t great because this is heavily cropped but it tells the story just the same. More from this encounter to come . . .
