We spent all day in the park looking at wildlife and visiting 'Old Faithful'.
Here is some of the wildlife I saw this time....
A bison jam!!!
An elk
Old Faithful is a geyser that erupts roughly every 90 minutes and shoots hot water 150 feet into the air.
Because of the sky colour it's really difficult to see the water but it was going up high believe me!!
In Yellowstone there is over half of the worlds geysers in one place - everywhere you look there is steam coming out of the ground. Some are unpredictable like one called bee hive. Bee hive is next door to old faithful and goes off roughly once a day but they never know when. Well as we were waiting for old faithful, the bee hive one decided to erupt, so we saw beehive and old faithful going at the same time - not something many get to see - nice!
Old faithful is on the right bee hive is on the left. Again the sky makes it hard to see.
Bee hive sounded like a jet engine going off the water pressure was so strong.
On the way back we stopped at another geyser that doesn't go off very often and as we were looking at some boiling mud guess what.... That went off too !! Lucky! Here is a video of the geyser going off.
also on the way back we saw these pools that are hot and therfore full of bacteria that's why they are different colours....
The temperature today is only -10 oc so it's positively boiling, almost bikini weather!
They are predicting that there will be a massive dump of snow overnight tonight so I may get snowed in.......hmmmm can there be dumps everyday so that I get snowed in all winter???? Please, pretty please!?!
Some other images I took today....
Snow angels from all the snow we have had..
