So we actually got rain but it was icy rain that caused a 2 hour delay.  Weird winter.  I was going through the archives and found this image.  It amazes me that these two trees have such tenacity and seem to be thriving in such a barren area.  I love the color of the water that is from the hot springs in the area as well.

I usually share trains today because Sundays are for steam!  :-)  This is a different kind of mist.   A few years back, I had hiked down a lot of stairs into the Canyon of the Yellowstone to get this view of the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone.  I thought it was quite worth it to be able to capture this great rainbow in the mist created from the falls.  The hike back up those 328 stairs, 500 vertical feet was pretty tiring.

Feels like late spring out there today instead of late winter.  Posting a bit late today for a Sunday.  My image today is still steamy but a bit different for me.  This is a 2 shot panorama from Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park.  It is a rather alien and somewhat desolate area but also beautiful with the terracing and colors caused but the mineral deposits from the hot springs.  Best viewed large by clicking on it.  There's a bit of steam at the very top center where the hot water if bubbling out and over the sides.

I'm on vacation today so posting early.  Had a day to use or lose so catching up on some stuff at home and smoking a brisket.  Hope it turns out well, wish me luck.  Anyway, my image for today goes back into the archives and the trip to Yellowstone National Park.  There were several waterfalls to see there and this one was a bit different of any I have ever seen.  This one is called Wraith Falls and the water came down the wide rock sort of rippled surface which provided a type of slide that kept the water wide and thin over the surface.  Made it more difficult to photograph and also with the bright sun right on it at the time.  I think I did OK with it.  :-)

Well, looks like not much sign of winter for the next several days.  I hate this in-between time.  Too cold for things to grow yet not cold enough to really protect those things.  Could be an interesting Spring.  My image for today goes back a while to the trip to Yellowstone National Park.  I had shared an image similar to this not long after I got back taken at a bit later time but I always liked this one for the light. color and reflections so sharing it now.  It was a lovely sunset to see and seemed like it was only me and the duck in the water that were enjoying it at that moment.  :-)
