Aucune photo en dehors peut être de celle d'Ansel Adams ne rend compte vraiment du coté magique de ce lieu. Celle ci n'échappe pas finalement à la règle.
Red Spouter (Fountain Paint Pot) didn't even exist before the earthquake, but now is a very active thermal feature that has different personalities. In the spring when water levels are high, Red Spouter displays geyser-like qualities, splashing water a few feet into the air. When the water levels are lower in the summer time, the splashing stops and becomes gurgleing bubbles of mud.

Our Yellowstone trip last fall was epic. While we had no snowfalls, the temperatures were cold enough to help create those magical, morning moments when light, water and mist combine to create a wonderful backdrop. Here, two trumpeter swans appear to greet each other in those amazing conditions.
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

The paint and mud pots boiling at West Thumb next to Grant Village. They're quite colorful and an interesting short walk around the boardwalk. West Thumb wasn't on the agenda but since it was so close to Grant Village we stopped in for a look. We ended up spending an hour here. It's a cool place to visit and well worth the time.
Yellowstone NP opened as the first NP in the US (and the world) on March 1, 1872. This was taken on our trip out west in 2013.
Happy Birthday Yellowstone!
If you look through my photo stream, you will notice I have a real affinity for elk. It goes back to the days when we owned a cabin in southwest Colorado. We saw plenty of elk, but I could never get close enough to them for decent pictures. Now, from our travels in Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Rocky Mountain National Parks, I literally have thousands of elk images.
My favorite scenario is to shoot them in or near water as this habitat element adds so much.
On this particular morning, I was headed back to West Yellowstone when I got caught in a wildlife jam of some sort along the Madison River. I glanced to see what was causing the backups and saw this magnificent bull attempting to cross the river. It seemed his harem had already crossed, and he was wanted to corral them again before another bull tried to take over. He would come close to shore only to head back out into the water, eventually going over to the opposite bank. Then he went back into the river only to stall out again.
I sat on the side of the road as cars and people passed, switching between my two camera rigs, happily clicking away. After 15 minutes and 500+ images, I decided to move on. As I was leaving, a park ranger came up and asked if I thought he was acting skittish and reluctant to cross. I agreed. Was he bothered by the crowd that had gathered? I would have thought not as this is by far the busiest stretch of road in the park. I guess we will never know.
More to follow!

Lewis Falls located in Yellowstone National Park is a short drive from Grant Village. It's in between Grant Village in Yellowstone National Park and Colter Bay Village in Grand Teton National Park. One advantage to staying in Grant Village is it's location. It's close enough to Old Faithful, Yellowstone Falls, Lewis Falls and Grand Teton National Park. Lewis Falls is next to the road. On one side is the falls on the other side is the river valley which is equally as spectacular. #NPS #LewisFalls #YellowstoneNationalPark #SouthernLoop #LewisRiver #Wyoming
Lewis River Valley in Yellowstone National Park is on the opposite side of the road from the waterfalls. It's a short drive from Grant Village in Yellowstone NP. It's next to the road with limited parking. It's worth the stop.
Dragons Breath is in between Grant Village and Canyon Village in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. It's a great stop. It sounds like it's breathing. It's pretty cool. There's a boardwalk around the basin. It's a short stop (about 30-45 minutes). #NPS #YellowstoneNationalPark. #MudVolcano
This week is National Park Week, so I thought I'd go back to some older shots that were originally private in comments and give them their own time to shine. The post today is from Yellowstone in 2013.
Winter winds in Yellowstone can be brutal and this day the snow was blowing sideways. A typical way bison endure this is to settle into the snow and wait it out.
It was particularly windy on this day, making it tough to see the amazing colors of the spring except for brief seconds. We decided we would come back the next day and view from up high on the wooded hillside seen below.
Crzay Horse Memorial - somewhere behind the fog..... sadly no chance to see early in the morning ;-(
