Small and Large Wonders in Yellowstone

Today, we decided to get up early and head into Yellowstone for the day. We usually avoid the park during July and August, but decided to go before a road closure that will happen next week. As always, we were amazed with what we saw.

Do you know what this is?

How about this one?

Mountains in the distance have a hazy look.

All the following flowers are an inch long or less. Really a bug's eye view.

Kind of looks like a giant cricket. It was so fat, it could only hop short distances.

View from Mt Washburn trail head.

No mystery why they are called Mule Deer.

Early Morning Dew in Yellowstone

After a cool night, (38 degrees at 7:30 when we came into the park), there was an abundance of dew on all the vegetation as the fog lifted.

All the white seen here is dew.

The following pictures are a bug's eye view of the dew drops. The effect and reflections are amazing.
