There is only 1 stream that we cross over on the road to the Bison Enclosure, and I always have to stop for a picture – just one side and I’ll get the other side on the way out. The Bison weren’t hiding at all this trip in, and were actually quite close to the… Continue reading Riding Mountain National Park in Early Fall – day 1, part 3

Riding Mountain National Park in Early Fall – Day 1, Part 2
The drive to Riding Mountain National Park takes approximately 3 hours, but the clock stops as soon as I pass the East Gate on the way in on #19. The Black Bear was quite a distance away when I saw him and I stopped the car immediately while he stood beside the road. As soon… Continue reading Riding Mountain National Park in Early Fall – Day 1, Part 2

A Walk in between Rain Showers
Showers were in the forecast for all day yesterday and we had a big storm the night before, so I decided to stay in my own area to walk around. Of course, I brought my camera and hoped that the rain would hold off until after I returned home. My first sighting was a man… Continue reading A Walk in between Rain Showers
White-tail Deer on my Doorstep
A White-tail Deer and her 3 fawns have been on the area in front of my window for the last several days. The first pictures were taken from my window looking over a field just past the parking lot in July and August – up to yesterday. This morning, I found them on my doorstep. … Continue reading White-tail Deer on my Doorstep
Toby Time
Last week, I spent a couple of days with my big buddy Toby, while his family was out of town. This guy keeps me moving! 🙂 I took a few pictures to share with everyone. Too many pictures to show full sized, but you can click on one and scroll through the larger sizes. He… Continue reading Toby Time
