Yesterday was another really slow day in Yellowstone National Park. I didn't even take a shot until about 6:00 pm! The wildflowers are starting to bloom so we spent some time photographing them yesterday evening because it was calm and one nice patch was in the shadow of a nearby hill. Alpine Shooting Star is one of my favorite wildflowers, and I particularly liked this group of three blooms — OK, maybe two blooms and a bud.

On my way back to camp, I came across this adult Black Bear out feeding in a meadow. I spent some time with it and captured my first good image of an adult on this visit.
