Black Wolf, Yellowstone, near Sough Creek, May 2011. "Like neither saviors nor infidels but simply (or not so simply) like wolves, they returned to their home, bringing great color and breathing a life-force that some, in an upside-down world, view as destructive—as if we have become so estranged that we can no longer really tell one from the other.

What a happy discovery coming across your photo site and blog yesterday! I have been eagerly browsing through your images and past entries since then and just wanted to say how much I admire and enjoy your work. You take the kind of photos that I would like to take. You write the words that my head often thinks. And your heart seems firmly rooted (as mine is) in the joy and deep profoundness of spending time in nature.
Trish, so often your sentiments match mine, and it's a delight and a relief to see them reflected so much more eloquently, with the spirit of your imagery to match. Inner rage, indeed. Sometimes, I admit, that inner rage turns into action (with as much diplomacy as I can muster) when I see people disrespecting wildlife. Your experience in Yellowstone must have been magical, crowds notwithstanding. It's a good thing Teddy Roosevelt had to tame his wild man instincts when he visited, isn't it? :)
