Nature's Glory
Yellowstone is full of many colorful scenes, but The Grand Prismatic Spring tops them all IMHO.
We had a great week in Yellowstone, even though it rained for most of it. Never a bad day when there.
One of my objectives this trip was to hike up above it for a better shot to show off it's amazing colors and form.
The Opal and Turquoise pools are above it with the Excelsior pool steaming to the right.
"The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the world, after Frying Pan Lake in New Zealand and Boiling Lake in Dominica. It is located in the Midway Geyser Basin.
Grand Prismatic Spring was noted by geologists working in the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871, and named by them for its striking coloration. Its colors match the rainbow dispersion of white light by an optical prism: red, orange, yellow, green, and blue."

Good to be back (for a bit).
Thanks for taking a look!
