Let's get the annual year-end thread going. Post a couple of your favorites from your 2018 Yellowstone/Teton trips here. We'll also have a similar thread in the Non-YS forum for shots taken outside of the GYE.

Nice shots lah!

I got to go twice in 2018 but the Fall trip was mostly a bust except for a couple great greys.

Liked very one of your shots, Linda! You really did a great job.....you, too, Rik. Your shots of the GGO are superb!! I'm still trying to get some decent in-flight hummingbird shots. In fact, I think that if I'm patient, I might even be able to get one of the little rascals to perch on my finger. So far, no cigars. But I just love watching them, even if they can be little S---heads at times. We're entering the HB mating season. So keep your fingers crossed. Maybe I can get a few shots of Ralph (male Costas HB) and Alice (female) courting and mating. Found a HB nest on one of our patio overhand supports last March, just before we went home to MT. Their eggs were about the size of jelly beans. We've got 2 new little HB's flitten' around our patio, so I have a strong suspicion that maybe they're the offspring of Ralph and Alice. Gosh are they ever cute.

Missed posting a Christmas greeting. So Happy New Year, everyone! May all of you be blessed with good health, safe travels and lots of wonderful adventures and photo ops in 2019. Hope to see some of your smiling faces in the Park. PJ :)

Great shots. I especially like the mousing coyote, GGO, and Grizzlies. If I ever figure out how to post pictures, I'll throw a few on.

Wow -- thanks to all for posting these photos! I'm in a "winter Yellowstone homesick funk" and these really helped (both abate it and exacerbate it!). What fun they are. Loved the pouncing coyote, the black bear closeup, the GGO, the black-billed magpie flying, the moose "nosing" the other moose, the "reflecting" fox ... and everything else.

Linda -- was the cinnamon bear walking down the road near Sheepeater Cliff? Of course, most all cinnamon bears look alike, but it bears a striking resemblance to a cinnamon my sis and I saw "up close and personal" at Sheepeater.

Anyway, again thanks to all of you for posting photos!

Dorothy, the cinnamon cub was across the road from Rainy Lake. The pouncing coyote was in almost the same place. I think the cinnamon was a 2-year-old, as is the black in the first picture, which was taken on the road east of Hellroaring a bit.
Thank you for liking them!
