Gratuitous postcards: 3 more reasons to love the US

The animal life.

From the modest

Postcard:  Mule Deer in Yosemite Valley
Mule deer in the Yosemite Valley. Does he look pissed off, to you?
I'm glad I wasn't the cameraman.


to the epic
Postcard:
Bison herd in Yellowstone Park. The US Park Service now hands out leaflets to visitors
reminding them not to approach these animals as they can be dangerous. Apparently,
too
many people don't think that a beast the size of a truck can do them any harm, if it
gets annoyed.


to the mythic
Postcard:
The Bemidji, MN tourist board says these statues of Paul Bunyan and his Blue Ox, Babe, are
named the most photographed statues in the United States.


these distinctive mammals are definitely part of our landscape, part of what we love.
