...About as cute as they'll ever be..?
....
It was my first 'day off' since the maiden voyage and with the weather rather piss, it didnt seem suitable for anything but sleeping-in.
About noon however, I heard Mocha say: "how bout a road trip..?" and decided it a good idea and headed down toward West Yellowstone in search of bears..
...
This trip is one I've made several times and limited on where they can get out and run, but even though we stopped at their favorite meadow; they never left the parking lot and instead did some 'hunting' of their own..(field mice).?
....
We eventually moved on and then found ourselves on the black sand beaches of South Hebgen Lake. The second opportuninty to "run" even in the rain, was too much for them and they ran themselves absolutely ragged;..which later helped them "chill" while I cruised for bears...
I wasnt 'hunting with gun' of course; just camera after the NEWS reported "the 25th sighting in the area of Grizzly", plus two well advertised maulings on Deer Creek - I made my way down for a look-see...?
Instead of finding bears, I became captivated by the opportunity to be in and amongst a small herd of Buffalo, mostly nursing momma's and their rambunctious baby calves...
A "Pointing Bison"..?
...
I spent better part of an hour amongst them, and here's what I captured..
"You mean I cant even take a piss without this guy shooting my picture..?"
...
Another fine day in Montana...even if it was a bit overcast and dreary...
