A beautiful sunset somewhere in the mountains east of Moab, Utah.

This the Beehive, a Yellowstone geyser near Old Faithful, that taught me the importance of staying upwind from erupting geysers. See all that water going upward in a really powerful gush? Lemme tell you, it must come down, too...and it does! Thankfully, the visitor center sold (slightly too short) women's jogging pants. Need I say more? :)

BTW, for the record, this was my summer vacation (okay, it was the end of May...).

After a heat wave last week, today it's the turn of cooling thunderstorms. They make for some interesting clouds. I took these about an hour ago, when a storm skirted past my place. First pic is taken on the phone, the second a few minutes later on a regular camera. It's not as spectacular, but shows better how "painted on" the sky looked. As always, click the photo for a bigger version.
