On our 2007 trip to Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota one of the stops was Yellowstone National Park. Some of the more picturesque spots in the park are the many thermal features scattered around the park. Some folk rush through the park stopping for only minutes at the less well known places and spending hours at the big attractions like Old Faithful. Those major attractions are worth a visit but if it is at the expense of spending some time at the less well known places then they’ve made a BIG mistake.

This shot of a Lakeside Spring was taken at the West
Thumb Geyser Basin along the shores of Yellowstone Lake. As you can see, the springs are bright with color
and very photogenic. This is a not to be
missed spot. Always take your time when
visiting and while the quantity of what you see may drop the quality will
increase along with the memories.
Thanks to Debbie of Delicious Baby for organizing

Wow, you really captured the colors! That is such an amazing picture. I was at a geyser once in Bolivia, they weren't as colorful as this one.

What a lovely colorful picture! It looks so surreal that I wouldn't think it's by nature. Great photo.

Thanks evryone. Each of the springs in the area was different. The colors were amazing and according to the NPS web site they change from time to time during the day

This is spectacular. I was really excited to see this because I'm planning a trip there in the next few weeks!

The springs were my favorites when we visited Yellowstone. I'm thinking Photowanderer got far better shots than I did that day :)
