“There’s no choir singing, no bells ringing.  Still Christmas is at hand on this cold and snowy land in the mountains.”  Dan Hartman This picture of Dan and Cindy’s Wildlife Along the Rockies was taken in the spring.  They have a lot more snow now, but it is a great time to visit in person [...]

Wild wildlife photos make great Christmas gifts.  The best ones are at http://wildlifealongtherockies.homestead.com/. This bear seems to have become a neighbor of our friends, Dan and Cindy Hartman, who own the wildlife gallery at http://wildlifealongtherockies.homestead.com/.  There is nothing staged about their photos!!  Completely natural.

Remember when we said we wished you could go to Yellowstone with us! Well, look what we saw!  There were 7 wolves in the pack we saw right at the Buffalo Ranch in Lamar Valley.  The other wolves were stalking one of the herds of buffalo in the valley so we may have one less [...]

Fall is here, the sky is clear, the plains are filled with antelope and deer and grizzly bears are everywhere, the wolves of freedom sing in the land where the buffalo roam!!

Yesterday our pronghorn antelopes returned on “Grandma Dora’s Ridge” (see picture).  Our record wet August resulted in wonderful new fall grass for all of our grazing friends. Monday, we will meet with ambassadors from China, Japan, Chile, etc., and tell them about GrandpaGrizzly.com.  Wish us luck!!
