I'm still 'picking away' at my Yellowstone Squared project. I definitely want some moodiness in there. At times, Yellowstone can have an almost surreal quality that I want to be sure to convey. When I have Yellowstone Squared completed and assembled, it needs to depict different seasons, night and day, snowy and sunny, misty and clear, etc. etc. My goal is to show the full scale and vast scope of Yellowstone. I want to have it ALL in there, not just those blue sky moments. So here's a little 'moodiness' to add to the project....

Our Yellowstone Zoo
I've been stalking birds on our property. I love this time of year for it. The variety of the birds is amazing. We've had some Western Tanagers, Yellow-rumped Warblers and Lazuli Bunting that have passed through lately. Here are my best shots so far....

Yellow-rumped Warbler - you can see where he got his name.
(Another fitting name... they are sometimes call "Butter-butts".) |

I'm still at it, so there may be more to come....stay tuned.
