Yellowstone walks

Howdee all,

This was our last day in Yellowstone….we went on another drive…with Sicksta Charlene and her hubby Tom.  Back to Yellowstone lake to look for Mushrooms and take photos.

I was intrigued by this green Lichen. The color was a bright limey green..the same color as the distant green island.

It was really quite beautiful.

I am still trying to find out what kind it is…any ideas?

    We did several walks this day..The weather to our south looked foreboding..

and seemed headed in our direction….We put on our rain jackets in anticipation. Dark clouds in the south…. We happened upon Blue Grouse…again…(ok guys..is it Blue Grouse?) We passed the meadows and are now in the burn area… 

Burned Trees being replaced…by newLooks like the skies may be clearing……

Some blue amongst the dark sky,,,a few raindrops fall…  and as we leave the Burned woods area and head back into the meadow…

We are greeted by clearing skies….

Another rain storm….that passed us by .. Jeff and I are still in Eugene, Oregon…will go to the coast as soon as work is finished on Homey….Sometime next week we are hoping…

I have already picked some Chanterelles and Lobster mushrooms..the ground was a bit dry when we picked…but today's rain and some later this week should make picking..awesome!
