Once again up with the sun and on the road for pictures. I was half asleep and Leighton was so ready to go. We had just emptied a pickle jar the night before so I rinsed it out and put my precious coffee in it. Today I bought a thermos. Pickle coffee isn’t very good. Even with wickedly bad coffee the morning was a delight. We then traveled to Old Faithful to pick up Kate. We took a lot of off the beaten path roads where Leighton was able to get a bear and a fox. After meeting up with Kate we headed to Jackson Lodge for a great dinner. Leighton and Kate both got fantastic photos of a bear and a moose on the way home. I think Kate is as astonished as we are. Tomorrow morning we head north for more adventures.

First bear of the day having breakfast.
Once finished he took a short nap.
Driving through a no stopping zone we were fortunate enough for a Louisiana car to stop so we took advantage and got a couple of shots of this fox. She has a den in the area. 
The second bear of the day was along the road munching some grass.
Lady moose eyeing some tasty leaves.
THis is what the whole moose looks like.
A tree swallow at her nest.
Beaver searching through the muck looking for food.
finally retired! 
Morning view, how beautiful! Ugh, pickled coffee is not edible!
Love the photos but a bit concerned at the CLOSEUP of the bear. Too close. Do not a take a great photo at the expense of injury. Thank you for listening to this rant.
P.s. again, another exciting day!
