Yellowstone National Park
A unique kind of spring exists at Mammoth Hot Springs, located in the northwest section of the park. Hot water ascends through ancient limestone deposits. The result is a landscape of terraces sculpted by travertine limestone.
At Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone visitors will enjoy views of travertine limestone terraces. Flowing waters spill over the colorfully streaked Minerva Terraces, resulting in a gentle waterfall appearance.
Hot gases are stored underneath the surface. Water seeps down into the ground and meets with these gases. Some of the gases are readily dissolved in the hot water to form an acid solution. This hot and acidic solution dissolves great quantities of limestone as it works up through the rock to the surface. Once exposed to the air, some of the carbon dioxide escapes from the solution. As this happens, limestone no longer remains in solution and it is deposited, resulting in the terraces.
Mammoth Hot Springs deposits about two tons of travertine limestone (calcium carbonate) per day.

On a less than spring-like morning, the view from Loughrigg terrace is always a pleasure. A great day out with Phil!
A heron standing in a partially frozen pond in Boulder Colorado. He doesn't look like he is enjoying the sudden change back to winter weather. Probably wishing he had stayed south a little longer.
...hopefully! (Momentarily it is snowing...)

Palm Springs has many great features. This is a sunrise taken when It was very lightly raining. I guess the moisture helped make the beautiful colors.
This off-shoulder mini-dress is the second entry in my spring dress series. I hope you like it! As usual, there are no rules in this Spring Dress contest, and all forms of bribery and corruption are encouraged - including gifts of sexy heels and pretty lingerie or offers of sexual favours to the model herself...
Lots more to come soon, but bye bye for now - kisses to all my fabulous friends!
xxxxxxxxxx

Happy first day of spring, folks. Hope the weather behaves and we really get to see the Spring soon :)
Way up in the mountains hot springs are common. Sitting comfortable is a pleasant pool of warm water while staring to mountaintops. Tajikistan ain't that bad.
