Purchase Prints
Many people have asked me if I sell my photographs. Well, although I have sold a few, I never actually setup a site to sell them. Now I have. dbNaturePhotography.com is my new gallery / store for purchasing prints, cards, and merchandise.
I will be adding more photos from my archives over the next few weeks.
I am currently planning a trip to the Grand Canyon which includes a helicoptor tour, walking tour, and a short ride on the Colorado river.
Thanks for all your good wishes and support, now go by that print you love so much.

Upper Terrace
The drive up to Mammoth Hot Springs from Gardiner is a winding path of mountainous curves and climbs. The scenery varies from rocky cliffs to lush green grasses.

You never really know how big a bison is, until its right next to you. Bison and elk often use the roads of Yellowstone as there own personal migration paths. It is a rule of the park NEVER to block the path of an animal. If the animals are in the roadway, they have the right of way. In the summer months, this can cause road backups for as much as 7 miles as the bison make their way to higher elevations.

Welcome
As we entered the park from the north entrance in Gardiner Montana, we drove under the Roosevelt Arch. The cornerstone of the archway was set in place by President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt in 1903. At the top of the arch is the inscription from the Organic Act of 1872, the piece of legislation which created Yellowstone, which reads “For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People.”
Yellowstone is a photographers paradise. From it’s animal populations such as elk, bison, bears and wolves, to its awe-inspiring geysers, hot springs and mudpots. Yellowstone also has incredible vista views from every angle, and every elevation.
