Yellowstone National Park - part 3

Let's continue the visit !

We saw marmot and chipmunks there This is Lower Fall , close to Artist Point and the Yellowstone River ! The diversity of Yellowstone the ever changing landscapes push the visitors to become photomaniacs Not only the landscapes, by the way , the wildlife too ! Mmm ? These posts are giving plenty of information and showing where we are the real colours are much brighter thanks to the thermophil bacterias OK ! I'll say it ! That's huge ! (Ha... See the tree being swallowed A nice tiny blue one, almost not stinky ! As said at the beginning, we are walking .. inside a crater that is 1 km deep ! Keep smiling ! And keep singing ! He does not care ! He eats all day long ! Adjusting to the color of the mountain, some chameleoats ! And yet another one ! Look up, look right, look down look over there ! Don't swith the camera OFF ! You'll need to swith it back on every now and then ! These are reproducing fast ! Have the feeling there are more and more ! No, this is not Mirror lake, this is Swan Lake ! Next slide will prove it ! Convinced ? Another specific feature of Yellowstone not so documented : the burnt trees This is due to smoking squirrels found only in Yellowstone ! And ... ..there are lots of squirrels in here !!! As said, this is not widely known Hopefully , some trees are still healthy My preferred ones ! They are good too at adopting the right colour See how they merge into the background colour ! Before winter, they build up reserves Looks good , huh ? Looks lost in its thoughts, unreachable , but .. this is an impression . In fact, it is always attentive, and ... ... even the slightest noise .... ... will trigger the alert mode ! Or may be, he did trigger the alert mode , after all !
