Yellowstone

Yellowstone National Park is truly one of America's real treasures. The foresight that was used to set aside such a large piece of the most beautiful forest land and geyser beds to be enjoyed by generations to come was amazing. Yellowstone is really two different worlds that weave in and out of each other. One is the grandeur of mountains covered with millions of Christmas trees laced with rushing streams, rivers and waterfalls. The other is the barren geyser fields that are covered with steaming geysers and bubbling hot water springs. They just mix together so well. Old Faithful is probably the best known of the geysers because of its regular eruptions. However, there are many more that erupt whenever the spirit moves them. The beauty of this extremely large public area must be seen to be truly appreciated. I know I say this a lot...but, it is true. In the pictures included is one I really love. As we were driving to Old Faithful we noticed a buffalo just grazing by the side of the road. I had to get a picture of this "living nickle" and you will see that he was quite large. Not included...but will be in the Sunday Facebook album...is a picture of him just sauntering down the middle of the road holding up traffic. I loved it! I could go on "gushing" (pardon the pun) about Yellowstone...but...tomorrow is another day!
