Photograph Notes: After four days in Yellowstone Park, we
found our first buffalo!!! This large male was separated by about a
quarter of a mile from a small herd of 50-60 buffalo. After watching him
graze contentedly for maybe fifteen minutes, he started to trudge across
the river to rejoin the rest of his herd. The details on this picture
really highlight the folds in the skin on his back, the splash of the
water as he moved across the river, etc. We watched very, very quietly
as he passed by our location maybe fifty yards distant -- definitely
close enough given this bull's size and horns. Finally, I know that this is
not really a water buffalo but the play on words was just too much to
pass up. (August of 2005.)
