Yellowstone

Emerald Springs. Looks beautiful. Smells like death. It gets its beautiful green color from the naturally refracted blue of the water and the bright yellow sulfur that the pool is lined with.



This is the Steamboat Geyser. It's apparently quite unpredictable, but it gurgled a little while I was there. The geyser-gazers got a little worked up about it. I don't know how exciting it can be standing around in a cloud of eyelash-melting sulfur waiting for geothermic shit to happen...but it has to be more exciting than baseball.



A nice little shot of the Norris Basin through the trees.



What, ho! Majestic bison!



Ah yes, the noble beast. At an appropriately dignified distance. No sooner had I pulled back onto the road than...


HOLY SHIT! BUFFALO IN FRONT OF MY CAR!

He then proceeded to play chicken with me. He'd put a hoof forward, then back. Then forward, then back. I put the car in gear and he'd start to walk forward, then come back. Then forward, then back. And then....



I have HAD it with the motherfucking BISON on this motherfucking ROAD.

(Dad, it's a joke. I'll explain it later.)

  1. These majestic pictures of nature have reminded me that I need to leave work now. It's 8:30.

    Also, other people who told her to get a blog: it's called an RSS reader. If I keep being the only person who comments, I'm gonna start feeling kinda stalkery.

  2. HEY. Baseball is a beautiful game. Also, I like how the scenery in your rearview mirror matches the scenery in the foreground. Excellent continuity.

    Dag.
