A bison.
Yellowstone Rule 1: keep at least 25 yards away from bison
Yellowstone Rule 2: do not step off the boardwalk onto thermal areas

Yeah but when a bear decides to run through the picnic area, I broke all the distance rules, and distance speed records....

Sat in the conservatory this morning and heard a load of buzzing, a wasp emerged with a hover fly in it's jaws! I grabbed my camera but by the time I got back 30 seconds later this is all that was left:

It won the Sony World photography awards 2014, maybe someone has painted it since?

Confused now.
