Yellowstone National Park
Wyoming
USA

The American bison is the national mammal of the United States.

This bison is from the Central Interior herd, which numbers approximately 1400 individuals, and can be found along the Madison River valley where it was photographed.

The Yellowstone Park bison herd in Yellowstone National Park is probably the oldest and largest public bison herd in the United States. The Yellowstone Park bison herd was estimated in 2015 to be 4,900 bison.

The American bison (Bison bison), also commonly known as the American buffalo or simply buffalo, is a North American species of bison that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. They became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle, and have made a recent resurgence largely restricted to a few national parks and reserves.

Their historical range roughly comprised a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canada's far northwest, south to the Mexican states of Durango and Nuevo León, and east to the Atlantic Seaboard of the United States (nearly to the Atlantic tidewater in some areas) from New York to Georgia and per some sources down to Florida. Bison were seen in North Carolina near Buffalo Ford on the Catawba River as late as 1750. - Wikipedia

July 31/23 - Storm near Melville SK.

July 31, 2023
Severe Warned Storms between Sintaluta - Melville SK Canada

Stunning storm near Melville around 8:30 pm !!!

Yet another frustrating chase day that ended up paying off at the end!
Started the day sitting around Whitewood as I was worried the storms were going to fire more South than my target (which was Grenfell).

Waited, and waited and waited .... Towers would bloom and die, rinse and repeat!

As I waited, there was a beautiful storm forming around the Raymore region.
Eventually, around 5 pm, a storm finally began to form near Zehner (just NE of Regina).

And away I went towards Sintaluta as it was heading in that SE direction.

It was looking not bad too! Wasn’t a big storm but had a nice base forming and it was still young.

By about 6:30 pm, it never really got going as it was struggling to develop and grow larger. The storm was totally dead.

At that point I seen that the storm that was originally near Raymore (which was moving North) and now taken a right hand turn and was basically now moving SE.

I blasted North. By about 7:30 pm I could see the storm in all it’s beauty near Lemburg.

From there, I headed towards Duff and caught a stunning Supercell Storm that put on a great show!

I timelapsed it for some time before it finally began to get weaker and slowly fall apart around 8:30 pm.

Turned out to be a pretty cool chase day!

Peterson, Saskatchewan
Peterson is a hamlet located on Highway 5 in the Rural Municipality of Bayne. The village was founded when the railway was built in 1911–12.[1]

It is considered a ghost town by some because of the many empty and deteriorating buildings in what once was a more populous farming community with two churches, a grain elevator and several businesses.[2] Yet in the village, St. Agnes Catholic Church continues to have services every Sunday. The Community Hall was torn down in December 2012,[citation needed] and the grounds are maintained in the St. Agnes Ukrainian Catholic and Roman Catholic Cemetery.[3]
