The sky was starting to take on a bit of late-day color as I caught this bison trudging through the snow in Yellowstone. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 70mm) ISO 800, f/2.8 at 1/250th of a second.
Despite their sturdy framework, tough hide and layers of protective fat and muscle, it still amazes me how bison, for example, are able to conquer the ravages of nature. Nice shot, Sean!

This is stunning. They are such interesting creatures! Great pic Sean
Thanks Marcia. Bison are one of those animals, with their iconic shape, that make taking pictures easy.
Shows how brutal Mother Nature can be in struggle to survive
Great shot Sean

No doubt. The winters in Yellowstone are particularly harsh.
So masculine
I assume you’re referring to the photographer and not the photograph.

Thanks Sue. Yellowstone winters certainly through at them just about all that they can take.
great pic. ) I was trying to figue out how deep the snow is. ? )
I’m thinking at least three feet.
