Yellowstone Lake

Yellowstone Lake is the largest lake in Yellowstone National Park. There is hot pool activity around the lake which is worth a look but these photos are from along the road heading to Fishing Bridge and the Yellowstone River. It was morning after a lot of rain the day before. There was plenty of fog and the scenery was gorgeous. Following are some of the things which we saw. Among the things we saw was fog, steaming pots, forest, lake, islands and rocky shores, wildflowers, bull elk, and a few baby ducks. Enjoy!... and remember you can buy prints of the images... and without the copyright mark.

Bull elk bedding down for the day. He was up and the shot was perfect but by the time I got out of the car and got my camera up he was down. So this is what you get.

This was a beautiful day. We were able to see all of the lovely fogginess because we were lucky to have a place to stay the night before. We thank our nice Aussie friends, Trina and Jason.
