Picnic at firehole lake

Yellow stones

 

Beyond the rain

Basalt

Yellowstone lake. Our favorite basalt beach. How many days did we spend there..?

The last photo is not very good, but I didn't dare approach closer. A group of six otters were swimming idly along the shore. They went away ... and I went swimming their way ... 

Finding fish bones and heads left on the shore, we realized how fierce fishers they were (obviously gourmet fishers also, disliking the heads!)
