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.

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!

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.

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.

With CNY around the corner, I think the spring colours are pretty apt...
I can't get over how an AE is so understated. Sarah's so easy to photograph...
It hasn’t been raining and it’s supposed to still be winter, I don’t know why things look like spring has sprung this week.
It’s Cole Weston’s 103rd birthday, so here’s some natural color.
It’s been a couple years since I’ve used my beat up Zeiss Planar, and I always forget just how much I enjoy it.
