A Hayden Valley Crossing
I've been lucky enough to see Yellowstone's Wapiti wolf pack on several occasions, and the experience never loses its power. On this particular day, we first spotted them as tiny specks moving across the vast expanse of Hayden Valley. They eventually came much closer, offering opportunities for tighter portraits, but this is the image that stayed with me. I wanted to show them not just as subjects, but as a part of their environment. The sheer scale of the landscape, all covered in a deep blanket of snow under a bright winter sun, really puts their journey into perspective. Seeing them move with such purpose through this immense, quiet world felt like a genuine glimpse into their lives.
