you can bet i stayed on the sidewalk!!! i was kind of hoping to see one, though.
not your every day mud puddle! i love all the earthy colors of the minerals...
Mammoth Springs... totally changed from the last time i was here!! no big platform pools anymore, just many, many little ones. and it covers a much larger area than ever i have seen before!
it was so much fun to see the park with the top down on the car... much greater visibility!!
and we got to see quite a few bison herds...
they are such amazing and impressive animals!
this one was a little closer than i liked, sitting there with the top down. he could have just put his big
ol' head right inside the car!! good thing he wasn't so inclined...
a large sinkhole, smoking away... VERY stinky! sulfurous, rotten egg smell.
love the rock and timber buildings.
waiting for Old Faithful to blow. praying the sun will come out from behind this cloud to make it more dramatic. meanwhile, the cloud itself was dramatic with its silver lining against the cobalt blue of the sky!
a few smaller geysers went off several times while we were waiting for Old Faithful...
and finally, it blew, in all its glory. what a fun day in the park!!! beautiful scenery, wild wildlife, strange and wonderful geological oddities and glorious sunshine. so thankful for the experience! hope you are enjoying the rare and beautiful moments in your life! get out there and see it all... and be so thankful to be back home afterwards, knowing you live in such beautiful areas of the country!
