Everything is beautiful

Even this bison!

the bison were everywhere in Yellowstone. They often times think they own the road. Today the bison caused a road block for about 20 minutes because he was walking right down the middle of the road. The vehicles didn't bother him a bit!

Here is a herd of bison near a geyser

On Tuesday we had breakfast at the Old Faithful lodge. They had amazing French toast!!

Here's a cute little chipmunk that hangs out there. He was so fun to watch scurring around everywhere!

After breakfast we waited to see the geyser Old Faithful errupt.  It is named Old Faithful because has been faithful in errupting every 90 to 120 minutes for over 100 years.

It was fun to feel the mist from the erruption. The only bad part is that it smells like sulfur, which smells like rotten eggs to me. But I got over it so quickly because it was so beautiful!

I can't remember the name of this geyser, but it was amazing and crystal clear!

Some of the geysers were muddy, some very big and some just tiny holes in the ground.

This is Castle geyser. It errupts for 30-50 minutes followed by 60 minutes of steam.  If I am remembering right this one shoots the water 150 ft in the air (I think). It is really high whatever the # is. ha!

Finally we got the whole gang! I have been offering to take pictures for people this whole trip.  I almost always offer when I see a group taking a pic and someone has to be behind the camera. I was really hoping that eventually someone would ask our group. Finally we broke down and asked someone!

This is in front of Castle Geyser.

The main attractions for Tuesday were the geysers. They were awesome! I didn't really appreciate what they were until I saw them in person.

Thank you God for your beautiful Earth!

The big stops of the day on Wednesday were the waterfalls! I think I could have sat and watched and listened to them all day.

In seeing Yellowstone National Park and all of God's beautiful creations some scriptures kept playing over in my mind. Psalm 104 is about creation and David could have been tour Yellowstone when he wrote it.

Verses 10-12 "He makes springs pour water into the ravines; it flows between the mountains. They give water to all the beasts of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. The birds of the air nest by the waters; they sing among the branches."

Ps 104:24 "How wonderful are your works, O Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures."

Rom 1:20 "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."

Tomorrow is Mt Rushmore! Stay tuned!
