Cherie by a geyser about to erupt in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Greg by Liberty Cap, a dormant hotspring cone. Under the tower. Mookie, our RV, on the road. There's an energy being out on the open road. Elk. Heat rises off of Mammoth Springs. Steam and bubbles. Although most of Yellowstone National Park is above 7500-ft, this isn't snow! The air is warm and moist around the geothermal features. Cascading heat. Beauty under water. Cherie and Greg. Almost looks like snow. Spa? What seems barren is full of life. White cliffs of Yellowstone. Cherie and Greg by Mookie, the RV. How close is too close? The Buffalo stroll down the road causing a traffic jam of one (us!) Ths buffalo had that look in his eye. A herd of buffalo. The sunsets are hard to explain...how does the sky produce such colors? The mornings are cold. Start the day with a little wolf-watching. Greg peers through the scope. We watch a grizzly bear rip apart an elk carcass. More elk. This is for the birds. Another visit to Mammoth Hot Springs. Mammoth Hot Springs. Will the trees survive the minerals? Blue skies warm the park. Yellowstone National Park.
The trees stand as a proof that the soil used to be different here.
Lost in a stream. Crystals. Orange and green. Watch out for the deep end. Doesn't this geothermic feature look like 'the scream?' Dare to take a dip? Each pool had its own amazing color and shape. Steamy night. Mud that boils. Much to Greg's dismay, I could watch mud pots for hours. Birds and the beast. When the river runs red, does something bad happen? Hey...over here the water is green! Another beautiful sunset in Yellowstone National Park. Time to explore! The beauty of Yellowstone is in the details. You really have to take the time to look in every pool of water. Sometimes you have to look up, otherwise you'll miss the buffalo. The steam is warm, the air is cold. Really...where do these colors come from? Bacteria, I knew it! Greg wonders: "How many more geological features do we have to see?" Eruption coming soon. Cherie and Greg by the geyser. That looks like an ear! Someone didn't get to see the geyser erupt. Cherie and Greg. The grotto. Pools of startling color. What's brewing? Daisy geyser erupting. A little bird. Grand Geyser erupting. With the help of local geyser gazers, we were able to estimate the timing of Grand Geyser's eruption. A petrified tree. Oh no, we have to go through traffic again! Buffalo. Greg waits for the herd to clear the road. Mookie at our riverside campsite. A little squirrel. Coyote--not ugly. We looked right into the coyote's eyes. Morning frost. Icey plants next to steamy rivers. Despite the storm warnings, Old Faithful geyser erupts. Visting the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. Watching the waterfall. Waterfall in the morning light. A grizzly bear. *Photo taken by my Uncle Richard Nordskog. And then the earth cracked up. Click on each picture to see it full size.
