A photographer was driving through Yellowstone National Park and caught this photo of a Bear chasing a wounded Bison. From what I hear, the Bear is not the reason the Bison was wounded in the first place and he never caught the bison. The Bison was put to sleep by authorities.
The Milky Way Over the Peak of the Furnace Credit & Copyright: Luc Perrot
In France there is an active volcano (Reunion Island – Piton de la Fournaise French for the Peak of the Furnace
The Volcano started a new eruption last month by spewing hot lava bombs as high as 10 meters into the air from several vents. Pictured above, the recent eruption was caught before a star filled southern sky, appearing somehow contained beneath the arching band of our Milky Way Galaxy. Also visible in the background sky is the Pleiades open star cluster, the constellation of Orion, the brightest star Sirius, and the neighboring Large and Small Magellanic Cloud galaxies. Nobody knows how long the current eruption will last, or when The Volcano will erupt next.

Today we picked Dolly Parton. Here’s Wednesday Wickedness!
1. “I hated school. Even to this day, when I see a school bus it’s just depressing to me. The poor little kids.”
What was your worst year in school? Why?
Not sure I had a worst. They all sucked the same I guess…
2. “I still close my eyes and go home – I can always draw from that.”
Tell us about YOUR home.
It’s a house with a white picket fence with a pit-mutt and a loud mouthed schnauzer in the backyard.
Oh, and a couple of freeloaders upstairs.
3. “I’m not going to limit myself just because people won’t accept the fact that I can do something else.”
What have you been told that you couldn’t do, but proved them wrong?
Made dinner last night.
4. “I’m old enough and cranky enough now that if someone tried to tell me what to do, I’d tell them where to put it.”
What was the last incident where you were told what to do and were insulted?
I don’t let that happen these days
5. “If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving another one.”
Have you ever reinvented yourself? How?
Became an adult, bought a house, had kids….
6. “If you talk bad about country music, it’s like saying bad things about my momma. Thems fightin’ words.”
Is there a type of music that you hate?
The kind, usually country, that autoplays when I visit blogs.
7. “It’s a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I’d be a drag queen.”
Have you ever crossed dressed for Halloween or just for the hell of it?
Nope
8. “My weaknesses have always been food and men – in that order.”
What are your weaknesses?
Memes
9. “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”
Tell us about something that you did that required patience, but was worth it.
Raised kids.
10. “We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.”
When was the last time you made a major change in your life
Geez…in the past year losing my parents was pretty major.

Interesting photos, poor bison! That volcano is pretty cool, er hot.
Lol, love your answers. I’m totally with you, especially on #6.
oh that poor bison! Sorry to hear he had to be put down.
The volcano pic is cool. I would love to see a real volcanic eruption someday.

Those are amazing pictures. I chose to believe the story behind the bison and the bear.
Nature overwhelms me.
SuperJenn´s last [type] ..Wordless Wednesday- Super Strength
That is a very unlikely and amazing photo!
We saw a lot of bison at Yellowstone, they constantly caused traffic jams. But, never a bear or a wolf (as much as we looked for them!)

The first picture made me feel very emotional, tugged at my heart!
The second was very dramatic but beautiful!

Hehe, I agree on the blog forced entry music. Your house sounds great! I’m with ya on losing the parents…time will help there, but I know it’s a drag. Have a great Hump Day Harriet. : )
It’s odd to see a bear chasing after a Bison. You’d think the Bison would cause pain to the Bear. Although, that poor Bison looks pretty messed up and it’s sad whatever occurred that the Bison had to be put down (bear didn’t harm I see/hear).
That’s what I was thinking…
WOW! What a picture. Its nice to see some nature pictures on WW
-CK
Wow, what a picture! Poor Bison ): I hate seeing an animal suffer.
Have a great Wednesday!
O my goodness! Run, bison, run!

About #7:
The world is a weird place. I live 25 miles out of town, in “No-wheres-ville.”I saw a “blonde ” one walking up the road by my house last week. I guess whomever wanted to take a quiet promenade in the country.
My neighbors must have been impressed, the old geezers are happy to see anything live in the neighborhood! But I think my chickens were unimpressed–after all, they pride themselves on THEIR plumage!

Awwww! That poor bison. Glad the bear didn’t get him.

Incredible pictures! Especially that first one. Couldn’t help but feel bad for the bison though.
That first picture was amazing!

I feel sorry for that bison, and I hate auto-play music too!
Very cool pictures! I love Yellowstone. We used to go about once a year as a kid. You can see some pretty cool things there!

Sad
Guess the bear didn’t want the wounded bison to go to waste.
The volcano is spectacular There is one erupting in Indonesia right now and it is thought the Iceland ( or is that Greenland) volcano is going to erupt again because the glaciers are melting and flooding the way it did last time when the airways got choked with ash. Fun times huh.
The picture of the wounded bison is so captivating to me. He’s hurt badly, but busting some serious ass to get away from that bear. Pretty powerful survival instincts!
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my WW post!!

Those are some wild pictures! I’m just jealous now of anyone who lives someplace where they can see that many stars in the night sky.

Those are some pretty awesome photos. Can you imagine the size of that bear? He was a good ways behind the bison and he must have been HUGE.

Me too I never thought I could own a house but I turn it to my sister and I am sorry about losing your parents. Thanks for the comment harriet.
Cool shots! I wouldn’t want to see the first one in person but the second one would have been something to see! Have a great day
Sue´s last [type] ..Family Time With PlayStation Move!
those are things you don’t see every day
Not a good day to be a bison!
erik´s last [type] ..Rally to Restory Sanity – Austin 2010
Wow! Both pictures stir up alot of emotions. The first picture, I can just FEEL the things that are going on in that bison’s head- the pure instinct to RUN, no matter how hurt it is. That is truely a great picture-capturing the moment and telling a story with one shot.
