Subject: [Leica] bison and bears, oh my!

Both black bears and grizzly bears live in Yellowstone, but they cannot be
distinguished by color.  Black bears can be a cinnamon color, like this one
munching on dandelions:

Bison are ridiculously easy to photograph in Yellowstone.  Even a dumb
single-use camera is usable when the beasts are on the park road.  Even so I
enjoyed seeing the bison, and the sight of them crossing the yellowstone
river was truly inspiring:
