This young coyote at Yellowstone National Park was "stalking" a traffic cone that had blown into a field.
This Columbian ground squirrel was munching on greens at Glacier National Park. They are commonly seen along the trails and even near visitor's centers.

This young elk, sporting new velvet, was enjoying the wildflowers at Yellowstone National Park.
We found this marmot near Logan Pass in Glacier National Park. Curious animals!
One of many mountain goats we saw along Hidden Lake Nature Trail at Glacier National Park.
We watched this (same) marmot scamper along the trails, around and even through the feet of tourists, and finally stop for a pose atop this rock.
Ewe and her kid, not far from Hidden Lake Nature Trail. We followed this pair from here, among the August wildflowers, to (eventually) along a nearby snow field in Glacier National Park.
This is one of my favorite shots. This whitetail deer seemed to pose for me in these wildflowers. Notice the doe watching from the tree line above.
Yep...this is just a common toad I found while walking our farm. There is beauty even here...at least to me.
