Rare to have both sons home over the Thanksgiving holiday, so we spent a pleasant hour at the billiard parlor. . .Lynn snapped this image on her cellphone.
One of the many geothermal jewels in Yellowstone's West Thumb Geyser Basin. Abyss is the deepest pool known in Yellowstone and received its name for its abyss-like depth.
West Thumb Geyser Basin is one of the smallest geyser basins in Yellowstone yet its location along the shore of Yellow-stone Lake ranks it as the most scenic.
One of the deeper hot springs in the park, Abyss Pool descends to 53 feet (16 meters). It varies from turquoise blue to emerald green to various shades of brown.
Hope your week is off to a great start!
AT THE POOL
Happiness was a day at a pool
in the grass ringed round
with trees up to the sky
here I was god’s and my
grandpa’s lad – both died,
happiness is dangerous
in the evening the pool has lain down
so mirror-smooth that sky, trees and grass
repeat themselves below the ground
fear and longing both ask me
to come back

Backyard Pool it has been a wet week, several inches in the last 3-4 days, I hope the birds clean it out, shot in North Carolina.
Towards the base of Black Beaver Falls, a group of rocks and cascading water catches the light. Agawa Canyon, Algoma, Ontario.

With the sun setting in front of me, I liked this composition and the reflections in the pool water.
A natural pool at a cove just south of Sepoc Point and Beach (visible in the right background) in Maricaban Island, Tingloy, Batangas. The 4 coves to the south of the latter is sometimes called Apat na Lagusan.
Morning Glory Pool is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the Upper Geyser Basin despite being less beautiful than it once was, since large amounts of rocks and trash have been thrown into the pool by thoughtless visitors, significantly reducing the water temperature. The pool used to be filled by rich blue water, with a narrow ring of orange-yellow bacteria only around the edge; now the water is more greenish and the algae band is much wider. The pool is 20 feet in diameter, 23 feet deep, round and symmetric, with a conical vent at the center, and may be viewed from a raised boardwalk that extends along nearly half its circumference. The spring drains westwards into the Firehole River, 100 feet away. It was named in 1883 for its resemblance in color and shape to the morning glory flower.
Hot spring in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park.
Beauty Pool est une source chaude située dans le Upper Geyser Basin dans le parc national de Yellowstone aux États-Unis.
Il est connecté à la source chaude Chromatic Spring. En effet, lorsque l'eau de l'une des deux sources monte et déborde, le niveau de l'eau de l'autre diminue. Ces variations se déroulent sur des périodes allant de quelques semaines à plusieurs années. Au cours de ce changement d'énergie, les températures peuvent varier d'environ 6 °C. Sa température varie entre 73 et 79 °C.
D'après diapositive de juillet 1991.
A full moon always creates extreme tides and beautiful tide pools at Point Lobos State Natural Reserve. A small abalone shares a tide pool with the shell of a sea urchin, a sea anemone and a few mussels.
Hope you have a lovely Sunday! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves.

Image taken at the Christian Science Plaza in Boston, MA. The grounds along side the building are adorned by gardens, a fountain and a stunning 670 foot long reflecting pool.
The reflecting pool, designed by the firm of renowned architect I.M. Pei, is so large that the curvature of the Earth had to be taken into account to keep water from spilling over the sides.
The fountain design includes a cast-iron gate with 2-inch opening that allows 180 water jets to shoot directly out of the ground.
Thank you for your comments.

It's water birds at Feathery Friday this week. This is one of our Pilgrim geese enjoying a swim earlier this week..
Happy Feathery Friday everyone!
A hot spring in the Upper Geyser Basin at Yellowstone National Park. The distinct color of the pool is due to bacteria which inhabit the water. On a few occasions, Morning Glory Pool has erupted as a geyser, usually following an earthquake or other nearby seismic activity. Several entryways have been clogged due to objects being thrown in by tourists, reducing the hot water supply, and in turn altering the overall appearance of the pool. Several attempts by park officials to artificially induce eruptions to clear the pool of debris and clear blocked entryways have been met with mixed results. Due to the damage caused by ignorance and vandalism, it has been suggested that Morning Glory is becoming a "Faded Glory".
This was our first trip with digital cameras, almost 10 years ago. I am slowly adding photos to this album as time allows.

This is my final shot from the beach at Crayfish Creek. You can see the creek running into the ocean in the background. In the foreground is a shallow rock pool which reflects the stormy skies.
I have more of this fascinating swimming pool to add from our visit to Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California. It is the most striking outdoor pool I have ever seen. Easy to imagine movie stars such as Clark Gable and Marion Davies here.
Please do not throw things into these pools. Morning Glory Pool has been almost ruined with all the coins the garbage us humans have tossed into it. This is not Morning Glory Pool but I thought it might be appropriate to mention the problem.
I have always loved the colors in the geyser pools.
Located in the suburb of Maroubra is this magnificent ocean pool called Mahon. The tide was high and the sea swell the largest I've seen for some time over the coast. All images are available for print please message me for further details. www.benholmesphotography.com.au
