So no trip to Yellowstone would be complete unless you have taken the time to hike to the Grand Prismatic Springs overlook. The colors are gorgeous and it is even more amazing when you realize that the colors are not from minerals but from living organisms. The Grand Prismatic Spring is a clear sapphire blue in the center of the spring. The water is crystal clear and near the center of the spring it is to hot for any life to survive. As the water flows to the sides and begins to cool, heat loving organisms called Thermophiles grow. The zone that is the hottest, but will support life is yellow or green. Orange, red, dark brown are the colors of the organisms in the areas at the extremities of the main flow. Enjoy!

I certainly go to Yellowstone for the wildlife, as there is no other place in the US that there is the quantity and variety of critters that there is here. I do however get really excited with the thermal features and the geological history of this area. It is amazing to know that 1/3 of the whole park is actually a 30 mi. X 40 mi. extinct volcanic crater called the Yellowstone Caldera. It last errupted aproxximately 631,000 years ago. The Yellowstone Park contains the largest and most active hydrothermal system in the world, it is powered by a shallow magma body beneath the super volcano that makes these thermal features so dramatic. As you drive the Grand Loop Rd. every turn brings a new sight and adventure. Enjoy!

We stayed in Gardiner Montana for the first few days of our trip. The Northern entrance to Yellowstone makes for a good location to visit the Thermal features that make Yellowstone one of the most fascinating places on earth. A fairly hair raising 15 minute ride from Gardiner and you are at some of the most famous areas of Yellowstone. The Mammoth Hot Springs area and the rest of the thermal basins is like stepping back in time to a place where you would expect to see dinosaurs still roaming the lands. Almost everywhere you park you are met by a small contingency of the local native wildlife welcoming committee. It maybe Magpies, Ravens or crows, the committee will usually aproach looking for a hand out or to sit on the warm hood of a vehicle on cold mornings.

This adorable juvenile Bison was hidden behind a small herd in Lamar Valley. I had to climb up on a log to get this shot. I think it worked out! What a cute critter. Enjoy

This American Bison was just standing on the side of the road by the Lamar River in Lamar Valley, Yellowstone National Park. I pulled off the side of the road about 125 ft. away to get some shots. The Bison proceeded to walk up the road so that it was standing next to the car. It then decided to wallow. Wallowing in dirt can help them shed heavy winter fur in the spring, it helps with pest control, it can also be for scent marking or cooling down in hot weather. I would expect that it was either the 2nd or third reason. He/she put on a show.

in the parking lot of Norris Geyser Basin, we noticed a Common raven sitting at the side of the parking area. As this car pulled in the raven flew onto the hood and sat there. People were approaching within 5 ft and it did not seem to be bothered. I believe that since it was a chilly, bright morning that it was just sitting there enjoying the sun and the warmthof the engine radiating through the hood. What a good looking bird and he/she was very talkative. Enjoy!

As many of you know, I have been in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks for the last week. It was difficult to post as the hotels wifi did not take well to uploading good quality pics. So for the next few days I will be posting lots of Pics of 2 of our most beautiful National Parks and the critters that live there. Enjoy!

The birds were in hiding last Friday as the wind started to pickup. The dragonflies around the Bryant Woods Pond were in high gear though. They only have a very limited lifespan of which most of is spent as a nymph in the water. The mating action seen in the first three shots is a prelude to the actual mating. It is all done in the air while flying. At this time of the year the female will lay 100s to 100s of eggs in the pond shallows. The eggs will overwinter before hatching and starting their nymph stage. In this stage the nymphs have internal re**al gills for breathing. They will molt up to 15 times before emerging from the pond onto a rock or plant stem to dry and take on their adult stage colors. They are amazing hunters and eat 100s of mosquito larvae, small fish and tadpoles as nymphs. As adults they hunt insects and complete the cycle in a few weeks to a month.
