Hello again from sunny and snowy Yellowstone National Park. Most of today was spent exploring some of the park’s thermal features as well as the park’s Grand Canyon.
The Grand Prismatic Spring:
Upper Falls:
Lower Falls and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone:
Panorama (click for larger version):
Mud Volcano (that smelled like rotten eggs):

Detail:
Needle drop (not a thermal feature):
Morning Glory Pool:
And if we didn’t have our Phil of thermal features, here’s another with a little less Fury. S.H.I.E.L.D. Shield Spring:
(Sorry, mom, you won’t get that joke.)
And finally, while this wasn’t a park attraction, I couldn’t pass it up:
Tomorrow is Grand Teton National Park—provided the pending snow doesn’t close roads!
