Yellowstone
The park literature doesn't say a damned thing about the friendly bison or the giant marmots.
Jessica and Marc frolic near the park boundary.
Late May snowpack still covered much of the park, but the temperatures were quite tolerable.
Geysers geysers everywhere.
Contrary to popular belief, the rangers at Old Faithful cannot make
the geyser go off by flushing all the toilets at the lodge at the same time.
Jessica shoots a steaming pool.
Different colors of algae indicate different temperatures.
The little bisonlings were cute. I would have brought one
home for Linda, but I knew it wouldn't fit in the overhead bin.
Marmot!
Fun with filters. This is a triple-exposure, each exposure through a different color lens.
One red, one green, one blue. Things that aren't moving, like the boardwark or the trees
in the background, look normal since a combination of the three colors produces a normal-
looking image...but moving things, like the clouds of steam and the people on the board-
walk, show up in different colors since their images don't overlap. The cyan, yellow and
magenta colors occur where the three main colors intersect. Ain't physics fun?
Alas, this was the only moose we saw. For a mere $10,000, we could have
taken it home, but again, the issue of the overhead bin rears its ugly head.
Next...the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
