Iris & Crowd

Photography Now & Then #112

Spring is finally progressing along.  The azaleas and tulips are way past peak and most of the trees have leafed out, though some are still lagging behind. A few irises are blooming, but most of the plants don’t produce blossoms any more.

Without a doubt, Old Faithful is the single most popular attraction in Yellowstone National Park. Peak season in the park typically ends with the start of the school year at the end of August or beginning of September.  Yet, on September 12, 2007, the Old Faithful viewing area was packed.
