Trees along the trail headed to the Artists' Paint Pots geysers in Yellowstone. I think the old lodge pole pines are so beautiful contrasted with the sky and the new growth after the 1989 fire.
Looking down on some of the "paint pots." Thermophilic bacteria make the different levels of heat in the geysers different colors.
