We have been to Yellowstone many times through the years. There have always been warning signs.
Wild Life are WILD. Watch and enjoy them from a distance.
It is still fascinating to see all of nature at a distance.

I have lived in small towns with farm lands all around and I have lived near big cities where farm land still exists on the way home.
There is a calmness I feel driving alongside newly germinated corn, and in every stage it grows through -all the way to the harvest.
Some corn fields I drive past at this time have corn "as high as an elephant's eye" and others are probably up to the knees.
No matter what stage it is a beautiful sight for me!

Under Our Flag
The sun rises on a proud flag raised high:
With stripes of red and white,
and a field of stars on blue.
Under its watch, we go about our lives
Laughing and playing.
Enjoying all the freedoms it symbolizes.
Under its bold waving,
A child looks up...and steps up,
A fire-lit purpose in their heart
To fight and defend those freedoms.
For their family...and ours.
They fight with all they have:
For us, for their country,
They put everything on the line.
Until under a draped flag,
They come home.
The sun rises on a proud flag
Dancing in the late spring sky
And we remember them all,
Brave soldiers.
We honor all they gave.
-Alison West, 2025
