Wolf Days of Summer, Yellowstone National Park by Ruby Hour Photo Art ~ Marcela Herdova

In the long, luminous days of summer, a wolf moves through Yellowstone with quiet authority. Sunlit grass ripples across the valley as heat rises from the earth, and the wolf’s coat—thinner now, dusted with silver and ash—catches the light in muted tones. There is no drama in the sky, no storm pressing down, only the steady rhythm of the season and the patient intelligence of a predator at ease in its domain.

The landscape stretches wide and open, shaped by time and instinct. Sage and meadow grasses frame the scene, while distant ridgelines dissolve into a pale haze. The wolf pauses, listening, alert but unhurried, embodying the balance of summer—abundance without excess, strength without display. This is Yellowstone in its warmer months, where survival feels less urgent yet no less precise.

Wolf Days of Summer is a quiet portrait of endurance and belonging, capturing a fleeting moment when wildness breathes easily under an open sky.

Print Options

Prints mounted on Aluminom Dibond offer a long-lasting, gallery-ready piece. The photographs are printed on a matte paper which reduces reflections (using Fuji Crystal Archive DP II paper) and then mounted on Aluminum Dibond (so not infused on metal). Aluminum Dibond is a 0.11 in. (3mm) thick composite material with three layers. Two white-coated aluminum plates enclose a black polyethylene core. Viewed from the sides, the material appears black. Although extremely robust, Aluminum Dibond has a low weight, meaning it is also perfect for large-format pieces. You photo print is laminated with a UV and dust protective thin film and mounted on the Aluminum Dibond.

Prints mounted on Aluminum Dibond backing arrive ready to hang with aluminum rails attached to the back for easy installation out of the box.
