So just in time for the book’s release (this Thursday, September 3rd) we just put the finishing touches on our <a title="Yellowstone Moran" href="http://moran.litajudge.com" target="_blank">mini website</a> for <em>Yellowstone Moran</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Yellowstone Moran" href="http://moran.litajudge.com" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-797" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Yellowstone Moran" src="http://wpblog.litajudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/moran_web.jpg" alt="Yellowstone Moran" width="450" height="489" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We’re especially excited to feature (Lita’s parents) Dale and Elva Paulson’s beautiful wildlife photography. They’re frequent visitors to Yellowstone and over the years they’ve taken some fantastic photographs. The pictures are special because of the animal behavior they capture — a bear stretching after a long winter hibernation, or cubs playing in a tree. These photographs include pictures of wolves, bison, elk, fox, bears, raven, cranes, and more.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">We also have pictures of some of the items that were on the 1871 Hayden expedition. These are on display at the Albright Visitor Center at Mammoth Hot Springs which we visited last summer.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">And we’ve also got some great photographs that Lita took of the geysers and hot springs at Yellowstone.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Yellowstone Moran" href="http://litajudge.com/m_geysers.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-802" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Yellowstone Geysers" src="http://wpblog.litajudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/m_geysers.jpg" alt="Yellowstone Geysers" width="450" height="348" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There’s a timeline that has details of the three important expeditions into the Yellowstone Region between 1869 and 1871. And for students who want to get started with a nature journal, Lita put together <a title="Yellowstone Nature Journal" href="http://www.litajudge.com/activities.html" target="_blank">a fantastic guide</a> that can be downloaded from the activities section of the website.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-808" style="border: 2px solid black;" title="Nature Journal" src="http://wpblog.litajudge.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/moran_journaling_activity.jpg" alt="Nature Journal" width="300" height="388" /></p>
