Those grizzlies are clearly one of the animals most people like to see. While they are a wild animal and fiercely protective of their cubs, they are really very fragile in the US. They need a lot of room and ranchers do not like them at all. My family loves these majestic animals...they truly deserve to be protected.<br/><br/>I am collecting photos here...they will be very different, though! :) But I hope you will enjoy them. Suki has a lot of images of this area on her blog. <br/><br/>Thanks Lynette! Hi Lynette,

I completely understand about not having the time to travel. My family keeps me going with travels which I love.

Thanks Kate!

Actually we did live in Billings, MT some years ago (however that is in a different part of the state with even different landscape...but lovely just the same.<br/><br/>I am sure you have animals I have only seen on Animal Planet, too. Just like Lesley says there is a sign for Penguin Crossing near where she lives in New Zealand! You know?<br/><br/>I am thinking you will probably be getting some photos for the next week or two now. :)<br/><br/>Thanks! Hi Marianne,

The capital city (Montpelier) is small, but it is the only state capital city without them. I am also impressed with that! Don't you think it says a lot about the people here? And most of the businesses are locally owned as opposed to being large chains. It is pretty cool...you would love it and love the attitude a lot! <br/><br/>Thanks Les! Hi Lesley,

I am terrible with such things...well, I did know beargrass! LOL, but normally I can barely remember my name!<br/><br/>Hey Chewy...me, too...it is a great state! Love the fierce independence of Vermonters and who can argue with a state capital without a Micky D's (heck, they only have a Subway for fast food and it doesn't get a lot of business)!<br/><br/>Thanks Chewy!

Now you don't see that one just anywhere! I love it! I have never seen a penguin in the wild, but I would love to.<br/><br/>I am on the lookout for that book. You had mentioned it and I put it on my list. I can order it, but haven't been home long enough to do that! I rather like that photo, myself.<br/><br/>Well, Jonathan and I tootled right up the road yesterday. It was a good, but long trip. You are so right this business of emptying the nest is a strange one! You only know that all too well!<br/><br/>Thanks Sweet Les! Penguin Crossing! Now you don’t see that one just anywhere!
