And Now For...

...thermo-features!
Twilight on the Firehole...taken during our Yellow Bus Tour...

The Grand Prismatic...from up on a hillside above the usual viewing area.  We scrambled up a ways.  Manfriend took the cameras and went even a bit higher, as Eldest and I were a bit skittish of the slippy slope.  Not so much for the going up, but anticipating the coming back down...intactly.  Oh, but this view was worth it.

Mammoth Hot Springs area.  Ridges and acres and layers of travertine...and a dead tree.

West Thumb, looking out on Lake Yellowstone.  This might be my favorite place.  It's usually our first stop, and therefore signals to me that we have really arrived.

A shot of the mud pots, doing their thing.  It's mesmerizing...hynotizing...we could have watched all day! And maybe fallen in...you know...just for the spa treatment....

Wonderful guy thought this looked like icing.  Which is sort of does. (...but what I thought about was what my girls said about Grandma's Protein Powder.  They only got it when my mother came to visit, and she would sprinkle it on Shredded Wheat, and only the big biscuits.  None of those new fangled bite sized ones for her!  Anyway.  It was a special treat, and they always said...'it was like icing' on their breakfast!)

PS.  Photo credits for some of these again to Eldest.  Thanks for coming with us on vacation.  We had a great time with you guys.

Great photos once again! I love the mud pot, but I love the idea of falling in even better!

I am not sure the mud pots have the qualities that spa mud does! Great pictures!

I have been enjoying your photos - (at work, so I couldn't comment...) I am torn between wanting to go there, and feeling like I have already seen it!

  • Welcome...

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
