Back From Vacation

I have been quiet for awhile because I recently got back from my annual vacation to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, which was amazing and inspiring. Now I just need to get back to working on new primitive dolls again. In the meantime, I have a few pictures of highlights from my trip to share. The photos were taken by my husband and I with our new Canon 30D and new super zoom & wide angle lenses.

I already can’t wait to go back again next year.

    You have some GREAT pictures from your vacation. Kinda makes me
    “homesick” as I lived in Cody for 9 years and used to go up to Yellowstone just for the day. We never saw a bear the whole time we lived there tho and incredibly you saw both a grizzly and the black bears!

    Thank you! How did you like living in Cody? I have been wanting to visit there for a couple years now because it seems like such a cool town - I should finally make it there next year. I am surprised that you never saw bears - we saw two grizzlies and 5 black bears this year! I wasn’t expecting that, last year we only saw one of each.
