Living Treasures of Yellowstone and the Tetons

The Spring of 2005 afforded me the opportunity to observe and photograph
flora and fauna coming to life in the magnificent Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
The plants and animals of the park are inextricably intertwined in a dynamic balance.
As stated by the National Park Service, it is our obligation to...
"safeguard these natural resources as a public trust for the enjoyment of future generations."
May the natural creatures of these beautiful parks be long sustained.
