Yellowstone

drove up from L.A. to Montana a few weeks back now, and we stopped at many a place (Zion, Jackson Hole, Yellowstone). By the time we got to Yellowstone we were both tuckered out, and I was getting ill from eating a cinnamon bun that had probably stayed under a hot-light too long at a hotel breakfast buffet. But we still managed to have a good time tromping around. Here area few pictures of Yellowstone.

Castle Geyser always erupts when we show up... (n=2). Doesn't Amy look cute?

Here she is being cute again.

Castle Geyser - with orange pools in front.

Old faithful- always a fun one.

Elk- we heard the elk bugle, it is an eerie high pitch call- very spooky unreal sounding.

The buffalo were pretty much just sitting around munching...

Extremeophiles living in the hot mineral rich water flowing out of geysers had great colors. Orange

Brown and little purple bean shaped guys.


This one reminded me of orange and vanilla ice cream cups. Remember those?
