In a display of symbiotic behavior, this elk tolerates a small bird picking bugs off of its backside. I imagine both animals benefit from this relationship greatly. I must make a confession with this particular image, I don’t often use photoshop to remove things from a photo but, in the case of this shot, I felt the need to “clean up” the nether regions of this elk. I literally couldn’t stomach looking at the ooze lingering behind, from its behind. Since I’m not submitting it to a contest or for publication other than my personal Facebook page, I felt instead of it being questionable ethics, I was actually doing a service to my viewers. Anyone wishing to see the un-edited version, feel free to message me. You’ll thank me later for “cleaning up” this image!
Ribbon Falls, Madison River, Yellowstone NP, Wyoming, USA. This waterfall is between Madison Junction and Norris.
The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the world,[3] after Frying Pan Lake in New Zealand and Boiling Lake in Dominica. It is located in the Midway Geyser Basin.
Grand Prismatic Spring was noted by geologists working in the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871, and named by them for its striking coloration. Its colors match most of those seen in the rainbow dispersion of white light by an optical prism: red, orange, yellow, green, and blue.
