American Bison (Bison bison)

As these Bison kept coming down the hill next to me, I started wondering about their travels, their journeys, and all that they had experienced in life. How many have endured long hard winters, how many are experiencing winter for the first time, and how many have been lost because of it. I wondered how many times they have traveled this same path and where exactly their destination is this time. Will they all make it there safely or will mother nature call on one of them for something.


After they had all made it across the road, I turned back to watch them. The silence was magical as they traveled up the hill, some playing, some running, and others just taking their time.
Just as they started to disappear over the horizon, I once again realized how incredibly lucky I am to get to spend my time in such an amazing place. A place full of unexpected surprises. A place full of many beautiful beginnings and sad endings. A place that is such an incredible force of nature. A place you you can rest your soul. A place called Yellowstone. - Julie
