Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! I had a wonderful time in Yosemite and just loved being out in the snow. Landscapes weren't my primary goal, but I want to show how lovely it looked on Sunday morning.

I heard from some other photographers that this is/was the alpha male of the Madison pack. The pack had killed an adult Bison the previous day and it looked like this guy may have a broken leg. He was limping quite badly. This is the first Wolf I have ever seen, so I'm certainly no expert on their pack dynamics.
