Grand Tetons Spring 2012: Day 4

Arrowleaf Balsamroot

Cold. Freezing. Windy. Not a great day to get out and photograph, but we did! Frost covered some areas and snowflakes fell from time to time. We found a couple fields of wildflowers, but the breeze and cloudy, low-light conditions made photographing them difficult!

Using small aspen groves as wind-breaks helped, but still, not an easy situation for photography.

This young bull moose made a fun appearance and we were able to grab a few shots from the vehicles without scaring it… until another vehicle appeared.

On our way back to the lodge we came across this coyote sniffing out ground squirrels. You can see in the bottom pic he got one!

The rest of the day was spent downloading and processing images and having a group review and pizza bash!
