Hello Norm! What a great album! I don't think I have seen this one before, however, if I have left a comment before it deserves "seconds" on how great the photos are! I hope your distance from the wolf feeding was far away! Your shots of the birds, bears, elk and landscapes were breath taking! Thxx for sharing your photos! Deb

Wow Wow Wow You have once again done a temendous job.How do you get so close to them? Dont you worry they will fly down and attack you like in the movies the Birds? Some day I will get to Yelllowstone Park. You make it very inviting. Thanks again for a look into that magnificent area of this great land.I live so close yet I have never been there. Jazmyn in CO

said jazzy586 2005.10.11 at 01:09:45 PDT

Hi Norm: I was about to ask you if you had lost your camera...and discover that in this album, there are numerous new views - and of course of Norm-quality, above any norm...all awesome, under others sensational pictures of Bighorn sheeps, of Elches, Baldeagle etc. Beautiful little Geyser (32) - just for one family's warmwater use. The 26 with a landscape "to cut breathing", as we would say. Congratulations for these pics!!! - Then I saw that you had made a GE in one of our daughters albums (bao666) - she has since added four more - from a trip last month - alone several thousand miles through the Southwest. Maybe you are interested in one or another of her albums. - We hope all is OK with and around you!!! Cordial wishes: Kaethi and Henri

said jazzy586 2005.09.22 at 22:19:07 PDT

Hi Norm. I just happened to look in my guestbook and find a message from you from a couple of days ago. Don't know why I didn't get my usual email notifacation. Webshots must be sleeping on the job again! Anyway thanks for the visit and your kind words. I agree with Sandy (previous entry) in that you do seem to be getting better and better. Your wildlife pictures are just fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Don

said muggs1953 2005.09.22 at 12:43:31 PDT

Hi Norm, Wow! You are getting better and better with your new camera! I am "very impressed" with your newest additions to this album! I know how hard it is to get in action shots of birds in flight and your Trumpeter swans in flight are lovely!! Your Bald Eagle and Elk photos are also wonderful, as is your lovely landscape shots! Love the late summer shades that you captured in your landscape shots. I look forward to viewing more in the future! Keep up the good work! Sincerely, your friend Sandy :-)

Hi Norm, this is an excellent album. I really enjoyed watching your beautiful pictures, mainly the waterfalls and the animals. Thanks for sharing this beauty with all of us. Greetings from Israel, Yair.

said ykarelic6 2005.09.04 at 10:00:01 PDT

Hi Norm! We get what we hoped to! Fantastic pictures - one has the impression you were disguised in a bear, in order to approach as much as you did?! Cindy wasn't afraid for you? Once again we regret so much we can't accompany you! By the time, you certainly distinguish different individuals. - The black bear on the tree is terrific! - How many days have you spent there? - Anyway: happy to find again the very special Norm-pictures! We hope that you both are in good health! Take care! Your friends: Kaethi and Henri

said oertlif 2005.09.01 at 06:48:49 PDT

Hi Norm, Thank you very much for sharing your lovely Yellowstone pics! I can't get over how much wildlife you get to see on your visits! Sincerely, your friend, Sandy

said islandlady1540 2005.08.31 at 15:53:59 PDT

Hi, I was looking at the guestbook in Henri and Kaethi's album, and saw your name and remarks about your Yellowstone album. Here I am, and I love your photos. We were there last July (2004). You saw much more wild life than we did, and got to places we could not get to, because of closed roads. What a delight to view your beautiful photos. I'll have to come back again and look at your additions when you add them. If you get a chance come view my albums of Yellowstone, under my user name of sharwils. There is a link on my home page. Super album, and thanks for sharing. Sharon from SE Minnesota

said sharwils2 2005.08.10 at 14:22:07 PDT

Hello Norm! Thanks for your nice words in our Chicken album! We look forward to your new Yellowstone pictures! You asked about the Tour de France. They spent three nights in our city (Pau) and we took just some (not good) pictures, haven't been in the crowd! By chance, we saw Lance for a second! We are proud of him with you!!! It's great what he has done, what a courage after the cancer! Here the address of this little private album: the first two pictures are from our newspaper: http://community.webshots.com/album/398203008JJStam?646 Have a nice day! Best wishes, (Henri and) Käthi

said islandlady1540 2005.06.24 at 08:08:14 PDT

Finally, the promised updates! As usual it looks like you had a great time in Yellowstone. Also as usual you have supplied us with some great photos so that we can share in your trip. Have a great day. Don

Hi Norm, Wonderful shots, Maybe some of your best. Please post more of your latest Yellowstone trip! Do you have a new longer lense to get these fantastic shots? -Steve

said runnincricket 2005.06.20 at 09:11:09 PDT

The wished continuation is as sensational as we were sure it would be - extraordinary pictures of biests that are not so easy to handle with - and the pixels show that you were not far from them.A job of a war reporter - fortunately not exactly! - Thank you for your kind GE! - Cordially: Kaethi and Henri

said oertlif_3 2005.06.20 at 07:05:05 PDT

Hello Norm and Cindy: The two extraordinary pictures certainly speak for the quality of what will follow - we are eager to see "all"! - Anyway: the Pelican landing is a scoop, as well as the rainbow that has fallen in the water! - Some pictures of our Pyrenean vacations are lodged in Oertlif_3. Have a good new week! Kaethi and Henri

Hi Norm! How much we would have liked to accompany you early this week through lesser known parts of Yellowstone (which we still consider as the second most beautiful nature park of the USA!)! And you could even observe a (relatively young?) bear!!! Thank you for offering these views! And thanks also for your kind comments to my 2nd B&W album - so alpine landscapes are quite familiar for you! - All the best! from Käthi and Heinz.

Viewed the most wonderful programe on T.V a couple of nights ago Norm and Cindy about this most wonderful couple who adopted twin grizzly bears and they were so amazing and lived in the Utah area and ran a conservation program -oh those creatures were so magnificent!!!!!and he was such an incredible trainer who treated the bears like his children as did his wife and daughter,the female one was called 'Honey Bump'and the male was totally magnificent but his name has disappeared from my mind at present -anyway I was just blown away by the beauty of Utah -breath taking stuff -the colourings of the scenery exquisite and I thought of you both while I watched this program and appreciated the beauty of your surroundings so much more -Jennifer Aniston was presenting the program -her husband is involved to some extent in this conservation program but the bears also act in films -I think the male bear was Bart but I don't really remember .An older grizzly that they had was 'Tank' and they would put him in his travelling cage and take him to a hamburger place and buy him hamburgers and a huge ice cream for a treat once a week.Also took the twins out for picnics -a most amazing program -I loved it from beginning to end.These latest glorious albums of yours share so much of that wonderful wilderness with us too- may it always be treasured and preserved -Love from your Kiwi -Lynne

said lynne294 2004.07.02 at 05:51:42 PDT

Hi Norm! A wonderful new album! Beautiful lake and mountain pictures! We love also the wildflowers! We don't know their names, exept the wild strawberry flowers! May be #10 is simular to a flower in one of our last vacation albums. But we think, your best shots here are the pics of the moose!!! What a surprise to see it so near! Have you not been too afraid...? Who did leave the place first: he or you??? Thanks for your so nice words in the Gem album! Have a nice week! Henri and Käthi
