Yellowstone in Pictures - Page 2

Seems we are on a roll.  Mother Nature has continued to challenge our painting of van parts which means re-assembly is delayed too.  We've done everything else we can think of to occupy ourselves as we wait for things to warm and dry up.

So.... here's some more sharing from the Terraces section of Yellowstone National Park.

Let's see.  We left you somewhere around HERE in our last post.

The terraces and Mound Spring were so pretty.

If it hadn't been our first stop in the park we may have spent a much longer time here.

As it was, we were moving at a slow snails pace compared to other visitors.

We liked both angles of this shot so you get to experience them both, as well.

The mix of dormant or less active grays and whites with the more active and colorful oranges and greens is just so pretty.

Liberty Cap is a unique Dormant Hot Spring Cone that now seemingly sits alone in a small field.  Very cool!

Up and down.  This is one of the lowest sections of the Terraces.

A very thin sheet of water was running over this entire lower section.
Maybe one day it will have layers of deeply laced pools like the upper section does.

Looks like another cone is forming.

Still mesmerized by all of the colors and activity.

Some features start to look like stalactites in a cave.

Quite a gushing waterfall.  What will it create?

Devil's Thumb amongst other not-so-dark formations.

The glistening of thermal activity.

Before we take you up to higher terraces, here's a shot to remind you that the the surrounding non-actively-thermal parts of the park are quite scenic, as well.

We'll see ya in the next post...
