Zowie, Ron...every picture shared today could stand on its own, though I would have to agree that your main image is the strongest...what a lovely image of those hot springs! The colors are so rich and intense. One thing that's interesting about these places is how enticing they are. Without understanding the heat of them, I would think just about everyone would be drawn with desire to jump in! LOL, I had to confirm what I'd remembered...yep, we'd be boiled alive! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald_Spring That lovely, alluring hotspring is a demonic 181 degrees, compared to the 110-112 of our nice, hot showers! :D Ya know...*taps finger on chin, looking up at the ceiling with a devilish smirk on my face* I wonder how many morons have actually jumped into one of these pools to "be cool"? Ok, I can't take it...*runs to do a Google Search" ... Well...there's an Emerald Pool in YOSEMITE and there's actually a place that people slide into the water from a smooth granite rock on one side (totally against park rules, naturally) JERKS!!!
I also learned that Yellowstone's pool has cooled to 156 degrees because of the trash thrown into it...*grrrrrr*.... Hmm...found an interesting article though, about dangerous incidents in Yellowstone. Many of the accidents were not deliberate acts of breaking rules, which is very sad. :(
Thanks for your visits to my last presentation, glad you enjoyed the show! :)

You can't be blamed for not remembering about panos, we forget too! I will say though, that once Steve started taking a lot of them, I began taking more and came to realize that a pano can really give you a rich view of an area that you can't get with a normal picture. It does mean a larger file and effort by the viewer to sometimes scroll to see the whole thing but the extra details can really be fantastic. I hope there aren't too many who are annoyed by them because it's true that they can be a bother. My insets can be pretty huge, but it seems that folks really like them! :) I would love to see what you come up with! :) They are quite rewarding I think. :)

I love that you call the kitlings the littles, it's just the cutest thing! :) And as for being too tired to enjoy peace and quiet, I know exactly what you mean. All you can achieve is "zombie state" followed by "deep sleep state"...heh... :D

Boy, I can't wait to see your pictures from Bryce and Zion and the other places you visited...they are sure to blow my socks off! :D It is so incredible, the sheer volume of our photography, isn't it? I'm happy that I've made my way through some of the days of our Vancouver Island trip--I just can't stop myself from processing each area's pictures pretty completely...ends up taking so much more time but I don't want to leave out the pictures that are worth showing. Meh...I guess it is what it is, right?

Oh, be sure to bring your computer with you to TX...even if you don't end up using it, you would regret not having the option. My guess is that you'll use it more than you thought you would. It's an important part of who you are, too...a connection to your computer is necessary at times and if you don't have it, you'll be a very unhappy camper!

It's fun picturing Nancy with the kitlings outside. What a wonderful experience for everyone! Also wonderful exercise and a way for the kids to burn off excess energy so they aren't quite so off-the-walls inside! :) Consider getting a hamster wheel. :D Hook it up to a solar cell and power the state! Woot! :) Oh and...*whine*...I want to jump on the trampoline!!! (did you know that I took two semesters of it when I was going to SFSU?! LOL, what FUN that was!!!)

I hope your lamb dish turned out well! That's not something I'd eat but I am sure it was delicious for the lamb-fans out there! :)

LOL, with all of the childcare, cleaning and cooking, you two are going to need a vacation to re energize yourselves! :D Still, what a rewarding experience, eh? Great memories, how nice.

Though Steve took yesterday off, he dove back into his book again today and can't stop talking about how well-written and immersive it is. Did I mention the title? Ready Player One. We saw the movie some time ago and loved it so much. He found the ebook and it's just so much better because of the details and such. That's how it usually goes...not common to find the opposite, and actually, I don't think I ever have!

I am slowly absorbing page after page of the gorgeous Visual Encyclopedia of the Periodic Table called "The Elements Book". It's just wonderful. I sit with my computer open next to me so that I can look up more information about what's being discussed. Makes the going slower but I'm an impossibly curious monkey and must see the red flames of Rubidium and understand why both sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are used in soaps and why...etc...heh...

I am also enjoying the ebook version of "Basic Rockhounding and Prospecting"...it covers a lot of geology and goes into all sorts of things like gold mining, fossil hunting, and meteorite hunting, as well as actual rockhunting. I'm almost through that book and it's been a super choice and very educational. BTW, from my internet referencing, I learned that there are micrometeor dust that can be found on most rooftops and it's totally intriguing to me! Here's a search link in case you'd like to see pictures of these tiny beauties or learn how to find them yourself! :)

Sounds like you're shaping things up quite nicely for your upcoming trip. Sounds like a good move to get an updated backpack. Steve also had a relic for a backpack--the thing is that they're still really great but when you compare to the better comfort and features of a more modern backpack, it's just TIME to move on. It will be so nice when you're using it. I remember Steve going on and on about how much better his new one was than his old tried-and-true dinosaur of a backpack. Innovations really do put our old favorites into storage. That happened with my beloved Trek mountain bike. As much as I adore that bike, it's OLD and when I tried a new bike out, I had to admit that it was a better choice. I now use my Trek for road riding and it makes me really happy that I still have a use for my great bike. :)

Ok, I'm out! When are you folks off to TX?

Another great set of images, Ron. Those colours from the mineralisation are marvellous, though no doubt there's also an (invisible) aroma of H2S. :-)

Wonderful, rich colors.

Wonderful picture !
Astonishing colours and geological phenomena.
Thank you Ron.

Gorgeous scenery under clear blue sky!
Great series of images, Ron!

Such amazingly beautiful colors!

Thanks for all your recent visits and very kind comments. Greatly appreciated.
All the best to you and Nancy.
