The hill above, coloured green
The hill above, where is seen
The tree of love and of bliss
Where you share, a lovely kiss
That does thrill your tender heart
Makes your defences, slowly part
Against the tree that rises high
As the love birds , they do fly
Over the hill, coloured green
Where your passion is now seen
Pressed against the shaking tree
Where its seed is now set free
Somewhere above Yellowstone. I wanted to see some new locations in Yellowstone away from all the people. I found this trail that wondered through some of the hills and offered this great view.
Left Dubuque this morning at 6:00 AM headed to Chicago. First leg of trip. Wasn’t the morning sky spectacular? Photo images credited to Vickie L Klinkhammer of Vickielynne Photography and Designs(VLP&Designs)website at www.VLPDesigns.com

Baertooh Butte (10,518 ' elev.) rises 1,613 feet above Beartooth lake on the Beartooth Plataeu in Wyoming's Absaroka Shoshone Yellowstone National Park. The peak and lake lie in Wyoming near the Montana State Line.The Butte from the lakeshore to the top is composed of Paleozoic sedimentary ocks from the Cambrian to Devonian in age (540 to 358 Million years ago). These limestone, shales, dolomites, sandstone, and minor conglomerate ere mostly deposited in a shallow seaway. In Devonian time the arae was an estuarine chanel cut down into older rocks. These beds are famous for fish and plant fossils found at the Beartooth locality.
The remnant of lower Paleozoic rock found at the Butte is preserved in the hanging wall of a northwest-trending normal fault called the Top of the World Fault. Beartooth Butte is properly termed a nunatak, or an isolated hill that once projected above the surface of glacial ice that surrounded it during the Pleistocene. Both the wedge shape of the butte and the absence of glacial deposits at its summit attest to the flow of ice from the northeast to the southwest, around Beartooth Butte. The ice flow, however, was resonsible for the depression now occupied by Beartooth Lake.

Inside story on the shot: We had begun ascending the ridge above, when we all looked back at this view. When Chris and I commented that it'd be a superb shot but it would work better with scale, Simon backtracked down the slope and climbed out to the lookout. Now that is what I call doing anything for the right photo! From afar it may look precarious but he assured me at the time that it was not difficult ground at all.

A big thanks to everyone who Faves my photos, leaves me comments, and of course to those who follow me.
Fantasy Faire charms our spirits for a week at a time year after year. It reminds me of The Smithsonian Institute because you just can’t really ever see it all. Thanks goodness for all the photographers, writers, bloggers and shoppers who present their photographs not only for the week, but all year long and ever after.
My favorite first stop has always been Fairelands Junction where I melt over the presentation teleporters which display a glimpse of what you will find behind the door.
Fairlands Junction is where you whisper…..”decisions, decisions, decisions”!
Of course, there’s plenty more there….more to come….
