The trip to Yellowstone has been on of my best times here. I've seen pretty much the most bizarre, surreal, and completely magnificently beautiful things I've seen thus far in my life. All in greeaaat company. Good day.

The first stop: Preeettty awesome overlook. Apparently Yellowstone likes to have wild fires sometimes. About 22 years ago one swept through the area and took out a bunch of the trees. Now, all over, you see baby trees coming up in vast areas of dead gray tree bodies.

mmmm so many textures. so many colors. SO INSPIRED
Photobucket

Look at that little geyser puffin.

My mind is pretty much blown. completely. But in retrospect it all makes sense that the earth produces these colors and in these patterns. Because at some point the the influence for the material and synthetic things that we are use to seeing with these colors and patterns were derived/influenced from the creators surroundings...earth. The material/inorganic things around us have color because they were dyed or painted and the dyes and paints are made from pigments [and atleast in the very beginning] these pigments came from crushed earth. EARTH. [now synthetic pigments can be made] So it shouldn't be so surprising to see this in the raw. But it is. and again, I loved being so surprised and in awe. and it'll be the same feeling next time. It's completely beautiful.
