Gentle viewer -- While in Yellowstone, I discovered that it didn't make sense to record things simply in static images because I often ran into situations where there were sounds and motion needed to make a scene whole. So, I took massive advantage of the video feature on my camera and made many short (and the occasional not too short) film clips. The film clips have thumbnails that are much smaller but should play as videos easily if your browser is properly configured.

It was our last day at Teton Village, so we got started a little bit earlier than we had before and prepared for the ride to Yellowstone ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130075 and soon after we entered Yellowstone, we were at the Continental Divide ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130076 where I walked to the sign ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130077 and posed with the sign ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130078 and then Suzanne left the car ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130079 and as I posed at the sign ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130080 Suzanne came ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130081 and together Suzanne and I posed with the continental divide sign ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130082 ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130083 ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130084 ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130085 after which Ben posed with the continental divide sign. As a result of all of this, we not only understand how water flows but we ourselves could be water flowing from this spot.

../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130088 Next we went to the visitors center ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130089 and while I was talking to the ranger, the cell phone rang and Suzanne had a nice conversation with Jane in Spain ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130090 before we headed off to our first stop where we saw a trailhead marker for a hike to an overlook of Yellowstone Lake and still being in Tetons mode ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130091 we followed the trail until Ben and I paused where we were to cross a street and waited for Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130092 and then we paused again to let Suzanne catch up and for us to decide that this trail was not attractive enough to complete and in fact to realize that we had missed the attraction (which was the West Thumb Geyser Basin). ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130093 Once back at the parking lot, we saw our first bubbling pool

recorded its bubbling. ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130096.MOV ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls// Next we read the warning ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130097 and recorded the trail we would be following ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130098 and came across our first geyser -- the seismograph pool which goes at 167 degrees

by this sign. ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130101 Next was the BlueBell pool

we learned about thermal gardens ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130104 and saw one ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130105 with the massive, clear and beautiful Yellowstone River as the backdrop

lakeside spring ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130108 to which these birds seemed oblivious ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130109 This geyser at the lake has a wonderful story -- the person who found it remarked that you could catch a fish and cook it by putting it into the geyser ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130110 ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130111 which is appropriately named the Lakeside Geyser. ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130112 As we were watching this, we saw kayakers go by

suggested that the lake wasn't too warm though we did agree that paying attention to this sign ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130115 which would preserve sights like this was important ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130116 as we came upon fishing core ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130117 and this beautiful pool (of very hot water)

../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130122 and the pools that came along continued to impress us

identified as Blue funnel Spring ../../../Sabbat/2007/07.11-21.07Wyoming/07.18.07YellowstoneDay1--HotPotsBisonAndFalls//P1130139 as we took one more picture.
