Cruising through the last of my Hawaii photos to share a few more images and stories from our wonderful week...

My father-in-law Kenny will be 85 years old in a couple of weeks.

We've been watching and waiting since April, hoping the pair of bluebirds who nested in our backyard last spring would return.

Momma Robin has been raising 3 hatchlings in the nest she built atop our porch post.

I put out my oriole feeder about a month ago, hoping for a return visit as the Baltimore orioles migrated through.

My dear friend Peggy loves birds as much as I do.

It was a bit chilly the morning we left Yellowstone to head south for a couple of days in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

While the mammals are Yellowstone's wildlife stars, there sure are some beautiful birds hanging around too.

While our primary reason to go to Yellowstone National Park was for photographing wildlife, you can't visit Yellowstone without checking out what made it famous to begin with.

Some of my favorite images from our days in frigid Yellowstone were of a group of bison who were trying to warm up in the geothermal pools.
