People at Old Faithful
A view of all of the people who showed up to watch Old Faithful erupt. Due to it being the Bicentennial, there were a record number of people visiting the park this summer.
Steam off a Pool
A view of one of the hot spring pools. The vibrant color is partially caused due to the bacteria living in the water. Some of that bacteria are several million years old.

Group Shot
What some of my group’s stops looked like, all of us trying to capture the same moment in different ways.
Lone Bison
The next two photos are of male bison, roaming in the plains of Yellowstone. Before the mating season the male bison usually go off on their own to be by themselves for a few months before coming back to win the affection of a female. They mostly graze and try to shed their hot winter coats.
Coyotee 1
The next four images are of a lone coyote near Old Faithful. It had a look of utter confidence on its face as it knew that it was the boss of the area. It was completely calm and not threatening at all, despite being only 30m away from us. It walked around knowing that it was the center of attention.

Dragonfly
There were these brilliant blue dragonflies that were all around this lake that we reached after an 8 mile hike. They often moved too fast to capture, but I saw this one in the grass. It was so blue I had to get rid of the other color in order to give the blue special attention.
Long Exposure 1
Two long exposure photos of different elements of the “boiling river” that acts as a natural hot tub.
