Ok, so I waited for awhile and left – and I was told Pink Cone erupted pretty much as soon as I drove off. This was it when I came back about an hour later. Darn! I’ll just have to go back again.

Tangled Creek, in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone, running wider than I’ve seen it in recent years during the start of runoff.

Silex Spring – one of the prettiest pools in my opinion – but there are memories attached to it for me that make it even lovelier. The magic of vacations mingled with the magic of Yellwostone.

Every time I drive through, it seems like either the sky changes, the light disappears or White Dome just sputs instead of allowing me to take a photo of it erupting. It should be fairly easy to get a really good photo of White Dome. One of these days, I’ll make it a priority when the light and sky are perfect. This one’s not bad, though.

Yep, snow is not out of the question in early June in Yellowstone. This year many visitors got their first taste of winter in Yellowstone at the end of the first week in June.

Great Fountain Geyser is a delight for many reasons, but recognizing a blue bubble takes time of watching many eruptions to spot them and/or luck to catch them with the camera.

Bobby Sock Trees

Bobby Sock Trees and steam in Yellowstone; lodgepole pine trees killed by absorbing thermal waters that clog the ability to absorb anything, causing them to die and leaving the bottom part white, thus the name bobby socks trees. (Janet L. White - SnowMoon LLC)

Early in the morning the fog from the geysers and hot springs glides through the trees.  These trees died, though, because the thermal water which didn’t flow there while they grew, shifted to become their source of water. The silica in that water worked inside the trees as it does on land – depositing the silica. This is how cones and the ‘lace’ edges on springs form. In the end, the trees die and stand with a white base on each. In the 1950′s they were referred to as Bobby Sock Trees and the name has stuck.
