I'm thinking that this geyser would have been quite stunning without the wind ripple. We read something that said the color comes from stuff growing in the water.

The geyser looked like a smorgasbord of nasty amino crud. Perhaps this resembles the primordial sludge from which humans were original spawned?

We took a group shot in front of the Giant Geyser. There were a lot of people waiting for this geyser to erupt as it had a time window listed between 3:00pm and 5:00pm that day . . . and it was about 3:30pm at the time. We didn't wait, but on the way back we saw the Giant Geyser as it spewed plumes of steam into the air.

The Grotto Geyser was a semi-contained bubbling fury, spitting steam and water all while we stood there.

The Giant Geyser erupts! The sign suggested that it would last about 12 minutes or so. The three of us were pretty far away, but with my zoom lens I was able to capture this shot.

Heading back, the cloud layers were partially lifted, so the Grand Tetons became more visible.

The Grand Tetons.

We stopped at Jackson Lake Dam.

We were getting a little hungry at this point, and Julie suggested that we stop for dinner in the Grand Teton National Park (south of Yellowstone), even though the prices might be extraordinary. We stopped at a lodge/restaurant and went in. Apparently we needed reservations, although it certainly didn't appear to me that there was a lack of empty tables. I suggested that they were simply getting rid of the riff-raff, as none of us was dressed in gowns or tails.
