I asked the girl to make a list of things I should photograph while I was on the “Western Trip” with the ecology class. I enjoyed trying to find each of these things. I was really close to finding all 20 animals/items, and I only needed to ask for 2 substitutions (which the girl granted). Here are the resulting photos:

1. “8” made out of sticks

  
(S. Tongue River)

2. Moose

 
(Tetons)

3. Ketchup

  (Yellowstone general store)

4. Mountain Goat

  
(Beartooth Mountains)

5. Snow

  
(Line Lake Plateau Montana)

6. Uncle Rob eating ice cream

  
(Tetons)

7. Uncle Ken looking at a blue and white bird

  
(Bighorn Mountains)

(You have to take my word for it…when I took the picture he was saying “I’m looking at a blue and white bird”. It was a Lazuli Bunting.
