A small collection, prepared privately for Sabina.
I go where the wolves are. Across this country, in search of the wild things still worth telling stories about.
Two dogs travel with me. One is a rescue, part wolf, pulled from a sanctuary a hurricane tore apart when she was still a puppy. She reminds me why the work matters.
The rest is patience. Wait long enough, quiet enough, and the story finds you. Every piece is printed by hand on museum-quality fine art paper and framed to fit the room it's going into.
Wapiti Lake Pack
1267F
1267F was born in the spring of 2020 into one of Yellowstone's most recognizable wolf families. She is believed to be the daughter of the White Wapiti female and longtime alpha male 1014M, placing her in a bloodline that reaches back to the legendary White Lady of the Canyon Pack.
She grew up during a turning point for the Wapiti Lake Pack. As older wolves aged and the pack began to divide, family groups formed, loyalties shifted, and a new generation started writing its own story. While some of her siblings stepped into more prominent roles, 1267F remained a steady presence within the family, often traveling with her father and close relatives through the years when the pack was changing the most.
Her black coat, marked by a bright white patch on her chest, made her easy to recognize for photographers who spent long days watching the Wapiti wolves in Hayden Valley. She never became the breeding female, but that was never the measure of her life. Like most wolves, her story was one of staying with family, hunting together, raising younger wolves, and surviving another Yellowstone winter.
When people think about famous wolves, they usually remember the alphas. Wolves like 1267F remind us that every pack is built on far more than its leaders. She is part of a family that has shaped Yellowstone for generations, and every photograph of her is a small piece of that history.
The River Crossing
A bison carcass came down the river and settled near the road. 1267F found it and kept coming back, crossing again and again while the current pulled the rest away. We stayed twelve hours in the same spot, watching her return each time. Most days give you nothing. This one gave everything.

Rest Beneath the Tree
By evening she was done crossing back and forth, done watching the carcass and checking the den. She found a tree and lay down beneath it, the day's work behind her. No hurry in it. An animal that works hard rests hard, and asks nothing else of the moment.

Wapiti Lake Pack
1577F
Born in 2018, 1577F has become one of the most recognizable wolves in Yellowstone. Her white coat, a trait carried through one of the park's oldest bloodlines, makes her impossible to mistake as she moves across the valleys of the northern range.
Before she was known as 1577F, Yellowstone biologists simply called her "Neck Stripe," a nod to the dark marking that set her apart as a young wolf. After the disappearance of the Wapiti Lake Pack's longtime white alpha female, she stepped into that role herself, leading one of Yellowstone's most celebrated wolf families through years of constant change.
Life at the top came with a price. Territorial battles with neighboring packs left her badly injured, injuries that would have ended the lives of many wolves. She recovered, returned to her family, and eventually gave up her place as alpha. Even so, she never lost her standing within the pack. Younger wolves still greet her with the quiet respect reserved for an older family member who has earned her place.
At eight years old, 1577F has already lived far longer than most Yellowstone wolves. Every winter, every hunt, and every rivalry has added another chapter to a life that has quietly become one of the park's great success stories.
For many people, she is simply the beautiful white wolf of Wapiti Lake. For those who have watched her over the years, she represents something much deeper. Endurance. Experience. A reminder that the strongest wolves are not always the ones leading the pack, but the ones still standing after the hardest seasons have passed.
La Huesera at Dusk
The last light of the day found her on the rise above the meadow, coat catching the sun before the valley went to shadow. She stood a long moment, listening, then moved on into the dusk. A quiet exposure of a wolf who has weathered more seasons than most.

A Wolf Without a Name
Not every wolf comes with a name or a number. This one crossed our path once, unhurried, and was gone before we could learn more about her. Some encounters stay a mystery, and that's part of the wild too.
