Yellowstone Country

Skies are overcast and rain is in the forecast for Los Angeles. Yet after a week with my camera exploring in and around Yellowstone National Park, where the temperatures were around 15 degrees F a few times, it feels downright balmy here in Southern California.

Animals, geysers, grand landscapes, snowfall and sunlight, lots of dramatic light - our photography group had it all. And we survived well with mittens and knit caps and jackets and a warm van.
