Yellowstone! - day one

 

One of my first views of the park ... note the white cap in the background.

 

Another early view ... and this is about when I saw buffalo for the first time -- a whole herd, just free in the wild.

 

A field of geysers.  The one in the foreground is clear and so deep you can't see the bottom.

 

    

Here's Old Faithful, and before the eruption, I met Juniper (left) and Walker (right), two sweetheart black labs.

 

These two bison get into it eight feet from my car, which I promptly move after snapping this photo.  The guys who were pulled off the road behind me, watching the same fight, find me later in the day and inform me if I had not moved my car when I did, I'd no longer have a car.

 

Another geyser field elsewhere in the park.

 

For those with no common sense.  Yeah, that's steam from a geyser, there.

 

Here's a pretty little river where I dangle off a cliff to get a picture

 

My last park view of the day, just before sunset.

 

TODAY'S TIP:  Never let your kids walk the streets alone.
