Bison in clay

John has been working on a fantastic bison sculpture. It's the clay model for a future bronze sculpture.

Love the movement and texture of this one. To really get a feel for the piece, I'll include a few photos of different angles....

It's that time of year -The fall elk rut in Yellowstone - so there is a lot of elk action these days....

 

We've been graced with a group, on and off, across the River from us. Sometimes they head back into Gardiner to the school football field, which adds another dimension to the games!

 

There has been a very young bull on the fringes of the herd, that this bull (in the center) is determined to keep at bay. We've enjoyed 'the show' and the bugling.

 

Who needs 'dinner and a movie', when we have this right out our windows?...

 

 

There has also been a lot of elk action in the center of the town of Mammoth. They get MUCH more attention from the Rangers there...

 

 

 

With a few competing bulls in Mammoth, it makes it VERY interesting....

 

 





 

 

If you have never experienced the fall elk rut in Yellowstone, put in on "your list". From about mid-September through mid-October, it signals Fall in Yellowstone and is an event you need to be here for....at least once.
