If you don't like the weather... wait 5 seconds

There's a saying in Iowa that says, "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes."  Nick always laughs about it.  It's actually true out here... I keep changing my clothes every 5 seconds trying to keep up with the weather changes.

It was another beautiful day, and exhausting.

It started after we left the house and got to the first town where a 60 year old man was being yelled at by a park ranger for being too close to the animals.  It's hard when you see them to remain calm... we all love seeing animals.  Today traffic came to a standstill.  We pulled off to see what everyone was looking at.  Got the binoculars out to see a bear and her cubs that were pretty much a spec three smaller specs -- even with the binoculars.

One of the gentleman that worked at one of the visitor centers told me that there was a bear eating a buffalo that wolves had killed yesterday!  We never saw it.  I was hopeful.

Anywho!  On with the pictures!




A buffalo in the park found a rock (on the other side of him) to scratch his back on. :)

Grand Prismatic Spring.



Couldn't get it all caught... but here's a piece of the rainbow!  It was amazing!  There was a triple rainbow on the other side at one point.
