Yellowstone National Park

In October of 2012 I got to go with some friends to visit the worlds first national park - Yellowstone. This was a great time of year to go. The crowds were almost non-existent, and though it snowed (heavily at times) we got to enjoy dry conditions AND winter conditions. This gave the feel of seeing it in both seasons, summer and winter, but without all the people getting in the way of my lens. Although we only got to spend a week, we saw a lot of animals. For the most part they were all oblivious to us and went about their lives as if we weren't there. This was my first time here and I can hardly wait to go back!
