Yellowstone

Isn’t that bear cool looking? Man…a beaut, I think. It was one of the first things I saw entering Yellowstone National Park. I saw all of these cars lined up along the road. It was a sign to me…it might be something I wanted to see. I grabbed my camera and long-range zoom lens and headed to the crowd. Wasn’t wrong.

I found it interesting listening to the conversations amongst the crowd. Many seemed to believe they knew the bear’s name, gender, and number. Idk…maybe they knew what they were talking about. I merely enjoyed watching the bear. Got to see several grizzlies in the park. Also…some black bears.

I sure do enjoy watching wildlife in their environment.

Yellowstone

I think Yellowstone is one of the richest places on Earth. So much to see there. The variety of wildlife, the hot springs, the colors, the views, etc. Goodness…I wanted to spend more time there.

I was hoping to see some wolves while there but the road to their area was closed that year. Such a bummer. Hoping to go back sometime. Maybe next time…I will see the wolves.

Independence

Heard a super strange thing from Father’s mouth this morning. He talked all night long. Hardly got any sleep. Still not sure what He was saying. MANY visions. All puzzle pieces that still puzzle my mind.

This is what He said…it was as if I was speaking though. “I have to sign the Declaration of Independence before I list my house on Monday.”

Isn’t that crazy sounding? I think so.

Haven’t a clue what He means by that. After asking all morning, I called Hannah. We asked together…got nothing.

I have some suspicions. Assumptions only. Assuming with Him is never a good idea…so I am reserving judgment. Still waiting on clarity. Believing it will come.

Promises

When I was living in Colorado Springs, I felt like He promised me a full year of traveling North America. I was super excited about the idea. Started planning the trip. Still have those plans on my computer.

Then I lost hope. I gave up on the notion thinking it would never happen for me.

I don’t know if I am hoping again…maybe dreaming. Not sure. I just know, I want to pack my stuff…and go on a great big adventure. Get new camera equipment and drive wherever I want to drive. To stay as long as I want to stay with no deadlines to hold me back.

It is a dream of mine.

When I did my 34 days out West a few years ago, I didn’t want to come back home. I wanted my kids to join me on my adventure instead. This is the reason Donovan moved to Colorado. The pics I sent him, convinced him. He is itching to travel as well.

It feels like Father to us. He is making plans for us to go on an adventure. At least I hope.

I am wondering if this post is me signing my Declaration of Independence. Saying in essence…I want to be independent…free. Wanting to live as the free-spirited woman I am. It is hard for me to describe how incredible my trip out West was for me. Glorious. It changed me…in wonderfully positive ways.

I want to do it again. This time longer. This time with better equipment. Financially independent. Fully equipped. Free to see the sights I want to see…for as long as I want to enjoy them.

Wild Animals

I saw some really foolish behavior from humans while traveling…in conjunction with wildlife.

The above photo of the young man standing so close to the bison is one of those foolish behaviors I am speaking of. This was near a hot spring. They had a full circle path around this hot spring. After viewing the spring, I followed the path up the hill, around the curve to the left, and then down the hill back to the parking lot. When I came down the hill and around the curve, I saw this young man standing there. I took this shot with my zoom lens. NO FLIPPING WAY was I going to get that close to that beast. Asking for trouble if you consult me.

It is one thing if you accidentally come across wildlife, but to walk up to a wild beast like that…crazy.

I have watched many videos of people getting in trouble with wildlife like that in National Parks. I have trouble feeling sorry for them.

You reap what you sow man.

Ya know that saying…if you’re going to be stupid…then you better be tough?

🤷‍♀️

Dreaming

Not sure what is going to transpire…but I am dreaming of my independence today. That independence includes traveling to enjoy the beauty Father created in this world for man to treasure.

Hope you enjoy the photos…even at an amateur level. They give me great pleasure to look back on. ❤️
