Grateful to visit vast landscapes
where lone bison contemplate the day ahead
And places where Cliff Swallows
flutter around High Desert nests
Grateful to visit coastal aquariums,
where Pacific sea nettles drift together in jubilant dances
And places where dinosaurs,
trilobites, and other creatures’ last moments are forever preserved

Siobhan, these are beautiful photos. The image of the bison at Yellowstone is so evocative. Great post.
Thank you, Egidio! The bison looked like it was deep in thought in the middle of a beautiful landscape.
Beautiful! 'Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam...!'
Thanks, John! Yes, I always think of that song when visiting Yellowstone.
Beautiful in words and pictures Siobhan.
Thank you, Anne!
Great gallery Siobhan
Thank you, Brian!
Beautiful and fitting photos for the theme, Siobhan! I never tire of images of the American bison.
Thanks, John! Yeah, I always love to see bison too.
Who wouldn't be grateful to be able to visit these places?! I especially love your bison shot!
Thanks, Sarah! I was glad the bison stopped walking right outside our van.
Wow Siobhan, a wonderful set of gratitudes beautifully captured. The sea nettles are amazing and I know you've posted about the dinosaur center before which I'd so love to visit. sadly Wyoming is a bit out of the way 😊
Thanks, Tina! The sea nettles are mesmerizing. There is so much to see in Wyoming. A great place for photographers!
These are beautiful, Siobhan. The fossils are awesome, my goodness!
Thanks, Sofia! Yes, the fossils there are very impressive.
Beautiful series.
Thank you! :)
