Do you want to know the story behind the image? Many have asked where it was taken. This photograph is from Yellowstone National Park in February of 2014. Yes, it was cold. I was laying belly down in the high snow holding my camera up with my elbows resting in the snow. I loved the scene with the snow, the river and the beautiful scenery all around me. Yes, you make sacrifices for beautiful images. I don’t really call them sacrifices because I am usually in awe with a smile on my face when capturing photos. The beauty around me makes me forget the cold and I can always go inside afterwards to enjoy a nice hot cup of tea! Actually my trick is to bring the tea with me in a thermos. It keeps my insides warm and hydrated during a day out in the field.
