As discussed in prior posts, my journey to Alta Ski Resort did not result in the large fields of various wildflowers I had expected. The hail storm did its damage, but some yellow flowers and the local wildlife did stay around for some photo ops.

Most shots were with my Sony 2.8 24-70 GM lens, but the moose was shot with the Sony 4.5-5.6 100 - 400 GM lens.

Thanks for those kind comments, Jim! From the look on his face, he might have found some.

Thanks, Ken, the area makes it hard to shoot just one thing.

Like them all. The moose looks small if you look at the rack, but BIG bodied! I would like to see him in the Fall.
