"The dimensions of your commentary and descriptions that I most appreciate, are the ethical conduct with respect to the animals and with respect to other visitors and photographers. You are very respectful of others including the animals and point out hypocrisy that exists in the real Yellowstone world. The effects of humans in close proximity of the animals, e.g., wolves, has had an affected the animal behavior. You have described and shown in your photographs some of these effects and how these interactions result in dangerous results when animals wander out if the park." Robert Neumuller

"I have been visiting Yellowstone a couple of times a year since I was young. Love the park. My visits are never long enough ranging from day trips to my longest stay ... an entire week. Being an "outsider", not one that is there everyday, most of the regulars are unwilling to share any information...about anything. Others are rude. Deby is different. I was fortunate to meet her last spring, she is more than willing to stop and talk and share. I even messaged her and she was so polite to respond, answering my questions. Hope to someday be able to have her as a personal guide. She cares, about the animals, the people, and sharing the park." Jeanne Blakesly

"I fell in love with Yellowstone 4 years ago. I found Deby about 2 years ago and have found her love and genuine live for the well being of the animals in Yellowstone to be very genuine. Her pictures are an example of her love of this amazing place. Her writing is heartfelt and honest. Even when it is hard, she speaks the truth with love. I hope to meet her one day. You would be missing out if you did not take this chance to learn from a very talented photographer and a true advocate for what is best for the animals of Yellowstone." Lorraine Robertson

"My husband and I go to Yellowstone every spring. Several years ago we saw a bunch of cars pulled over near the petrified tree road. It was early morning and the sun had just come up. I have a bad leg due to a car accident many years ago so my husband dropped me off near all the photographers and went to find a place to park. I came limping up to the group and asked what people were seeing. Debbie, you were the only one kind enough to answer that three wolves were hanging out down below. You smiled and offered to let me look through a scope. You noticed I was limping and took my arm and graciously helped me over to the scope. I looked through the scope and was instantly in awe. Three large beautiful wolves. It was unbelievable. Then they began to howl. I had never heard wolves howl before. It took my breath away it was so magical. My husband joined us and also was able to see the wolves through your scope. It is one of my favorite memories of Yellowstone. Thank you so much for your kindness and giving me this experience. Now I follow you on Facebook and am able to feel like I am in the park every time I read your post and see your pictures." Don-Sharon Knicely

"Deby Dixon, I had been going to Yellowstone for several years before I met you just to view wolves. They were the only reason for my trips to the park and after meeting you and following you online I have learned so much more about them. But I have also learned to love the other animals because of your posts and I got to see Snow, my favorite grizzly bear, and watch her with her mother thanks to you. I always enjoy seeing you when I'm in the park and I enjoy your posts very much!" Judy McMullen

"I recently heard Deby Dixon was beginning a guiding service in Yellowstone. I've spent a good bit of time with Deby in both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. She will be an amazing guide. She is an excellent photographer, extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable of the park animals, and most importantly, a wonderful observer. She can look around and see more than almost anyone I know. She not only knows where to find animals, she knows how to anticipate what they will do and is fantastic at interpreting their actions. I would highly recommend her to anyone wishing to see and photograph wildlife in Yellowstone." J. Brown

Deby Dixon reached out to me on my first visit to Yellowstone in 2015. I was thrilled to have a private tour of Yellowstone with her for a day. It was a privilege to be in the company of someone who not only has the knowledge of the park but also her photography. I go every year now, and look forward to seeing her. Each time I learn something new from her. From tracking animals. How to spot if there are wolves around by reading the landscape other wildlife and birds. She knows where to look for wildlife and makes sure you get to see and photograph them. Please don't hesitate to reserve your spot. You won't be disappointed. You won't find anyone more truthful, polite or who cares more about Yellowstone and the park then Deby. Morlene Rummel
