This is an abstract image taken at the edge of a thermal spring in the West Thumb geyser basin in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. While the image appears to not contain any living thing, the colors themselves are in fact a product of the microscopic organisms called Thermophiles which thrive at extremely high temperatures. When visiting Yellowstone, you will see different veins of colors surrounding the fumaroles, geysers and thermal pools. The various colors in these mats are different types of Thermophiles which thrive at specific temperatures or have preferences for alkaline, acidic, or sulphiric enviroments. The enviroment determines the type of Thermophile that lives there and this diversity creates the colors you see. The color in this image is exactly as it was taken by my camera. It is not a macro image. At the top right, the turquoise color is the very edge of the thermal pool, the white border is mineral deposits and the brown and yellow and orange colors are the Thermophile living in a mat surrounding the pool. / This image has sold as a laminated print and a matted print 3 times through RedBubble. /
Taken at Mammoth Hot Springs (Yellowstone Nat’l Park, WY) on a cold September morning. The sun was beginning to break through the fog, but the boardwalk still led through an eerie scene. Probably my favorite as I like the mystery. Canon Elan II / Velvia film.
THIS BEAR WAS FEEDING ON AN ELK WHEN A SMALL GROUP OF CYOTES CAME ALONG. BELIEVE IT OR NOT THE CYOTES DIDN’T SEEM TO FEAR THIS GUY AT ALL. THERE WHERE SIX OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS TAKEING SHOTS FROM ABOUT 30 YARDS AWAY. I USED A 600MM LENS TO GET THIS SHOT. I HAVE ANOTHER SHOT OF THE SAME BEAR BEFORE THE CYOTES CAME. / Canon F-1,Fujichrome 50,600mm lens
There has been one sale of this image. In November 2008 this image was featured in the group, Buyers R Us. In February 2009, this image placed third in the U.S. Parks Wildlife Shots challenge hosted by the AMERICA’s National Parks and WILDLIFE Habitat group. A thousand Yellowstone wonders are calling, ‘Look up and down and round about you! John Muir – 1898 The temperatures were in the single digits on this cold, snowy January morning at West Thumb Geyser Basin, which is one of the smallest geyser basins in Yellowstone. A incredibly scenic area along the shore of Yellowstone Lake, West Thumb only has a small amount of geyser activity. However, the basin more than makes up for it with its diversity. Despite its small size, it has paint/mud pots, hot springs, pools, lake shore geysers, and fumaroles. Fumaroles are small openings that release steam and other gasses. You can see in the foreground the muddy, soupy waters inundating the paint pots. The white area beyond the tree line in the right hand side of the photograph is Yellowstone Lake. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Please don’t copy or download this image.

This was taken in West Yellowstone On 10/25/08. This little coyote was pretty brave. Scavaging for food that people might spare. Unfortunantly due to humans feeding him, he most likely will be put down by park rangers, due to his “no fear” policy. Please don’t feed the animals!!!

The grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone is a tough picture to take. It is too big for even my super wide angle lens to get it all. The blue glow above the blue water has to be seen to be believed. The vapors from the hot water do act as a prism of sorts.
My nephew went to Yellowstone over the weekend and asked me to play with some of his pictures. This is what I came up with.

Thermal features of the West Thumb Geyser Basin in winter, Yellowstone National Park. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 18-200VR lens Featured in AMERICA’s National Parks and Wildlife Habitat
Black wolf seemed to be alone between Norris and Canyon in Yellowstone Park on Mother’s Day. She loped along side the highway, just inside the tree line, for miles.
This beautiful geyser lasts for twenty minutes and one can choose many angles to shoot from as it goes on and on.
The wind was just starting to blow up a storm and put a dusting of snow on this bison.
I just recently made a trip to Yellowstone and this pool is among the most famous of the thermal features. It had been damaged by people throwing coins into it for years and that metal altered the chemistry in the water and changed the color of the pool to what you see here today.
This was photographed late in the day in the West Thumb/Grant Village area of Yellowstone National Park. This was the last stop on the snowcat tour. This is a Duotone.
Today 1/30/09 it has been exactly 2 years since my sister passed away. and Exactly 1 month since my father has…. Boy the 30th is not my lucky # Yesterday, There was so many things / I was never told / Now that I’m startin’ to learn / I feel I’m growing old ‘Cause yesterday’s got nothin’ for me / Old pictures that I’ll always see / Time just fades the pages / In my book of memories / Prayers in my pocket / And no hand in destiny / I’ll keep on movin’ along / With no time to plant my feet ‘Cause yesterday’s got nothin’ for me / Old pictures that I’ll always see / Some things could be better / If we’d all just let them be Yesterday, There was so many things / I was never shown / Suddenly this time I found / I’m on the streets and I’m all alone Yesterday’s got nothin’ for me / Old pictures that I’ll always see / I ain’t got time to reminisce old novelties Yesterday’s Gun’s n Roses… Canon 30D

This is another photo merge of five photos. A little closer and a better view of the falls, plus some framing by the trees. Rainbow is more exciting here too.
