Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. YSTONE_000830_009.JPG: Yellowstone, Wyoming. These elk were basically the first thing I saw in the park. I had gone in the north entrance early in the morning and was going to the park headquarters and there they were.
2. YSTONE_000830_029.JPG: Not the most comfortable way to feed I guess...
3. YSTONE_000830_032.JPG: This is the Mammoth Hot Springs area.
4. YSTONE_000830_046.JPG: It's always a challenge for the brainless and rude to not through sticks into these things. As you can see though, even the strongest moron may give in though.
5. YSTONE_000830_094.JPG: This large bird was perched on this car's rear-view mirror. Note the person in the mirror, sitting in their car. After the bird left, the woman said she was terrified to get out of the car because of the big bird right there.
6. YSTONE_000830_101.JPG: Yep. You're about to see Old Faithful do its thing. They point out that the outburst has become smaller over time, in part, they say, due to "vandalism" -- presumably people dumping things in the holes.
7. YSTONE_000830_106.JPG: Bison
8. YSTONE_000830_112.JPG: Fire Power The same devastating crown fire burned forest on both sides of the Lewis River Canyon. Shooting firebrands far in advance of the wall, the wind-whipped blaze leaped this 500-yard-wide natural barrier. The scene puts human-made barriers -- roads, bulldozers lines -- in perspective. Even the most resourceful firefighting crews cannot control fires of this magnitude. At Yellowstone, regeneration is at least as powerful a force as wildfire. Every 200 to 400 years, fires as catastrophic as the 1988 blaze have swept across the plateau -- yet the vegetation and wildlife have thrived.
9. YSTONE_000830_133.JPG: The changing thermals caused the road to collapse so they just blocked off an area of it.
10. YSTONE_000831_001.JPG: Yellowstone, Wyoming. The Madison Elk Herd From an elk's perspective, this valley offers everything needed for year-round survival. Food is abundant. These meadows become snow-free relatively early and stay lush longer into summer. During May-June calving season, nearby lodgepole pine forests shelter newborns from coyotes and bears. In 1988, fires burned the slopes across the river. For the next several years, the dense forest will be more open and less sheltering, which may affect the movement of the herd. Harsh or mild winters, however, continue to be the great regulator of the elk population here and throughout the park.
11. YSTONE_000831_022.JPG: Petrified Tree Subtropical Yellowstone This petrified redwood is a clue to a warmer, damper, more violent Yellowstone landscape. Anatomically, the trunk is indistinguishable from present-day redwoods in California. When a chain of volcanoes erupted here in Eocene times 50 million years ago, they triggered massive landslides into mountain and valley streets. The rolling mix of ash, water and sand buried whole forests. Before the trees could rot, abundant silica in the volcanic flow plugged living cells, creating "forests of stone." Volcanic ask and mudflows obliterated a living landscape yet preserved this tree for the ages. There were three redwoods standing here before thoughtless souvenir hunters chipped away the other two.

Wikipedia Description: Yellowstone National Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yellowstone National Park is an American national park located in the western United States, largely in the northwest corner of Wyoming and extending into Montana and Idaho. It was established by the 42nd U.S. Congress with the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone was the first national park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially the Old Faithful geyser, one of its most popular. While it represents many types of biomes, the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion.

While Native Americans have lived in the Yellowstone region for at least 11,000 years, aside from visits by mountain men during the early-to-mid-19th century, organized exploration did not begin until the late 1860s. Management and control of the park originally fell under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of the Interior, the first Secretary of the Interior to supervise the park being Columbus Delano. However, the U.S. Army was eventually commissioned to oversee the management of Yellowstone for 30 years between 1886 and 1916. In 1917, administration of the park was transferred to the National Park Service, which had been created the previous year. Hundreds of structures have been built and are protected for their architectural and historical significance, and researchers have examined more than a thousand archaeological sites.

Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,468.4 sq mi (8,983 km2), comprising lakes, canyons, rivers, and mountain ranges. Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-elevation lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest supervolcano on the continent. The caldera is considered a dormant volcano. It ...More...

2000 photos: Since 1984, I've lived in Silver Spring, Maryland. From 1981 to 2002, photos were taken using a Pentax ME Super camera. From 1989 to 2002, I was doing all pictures as prints (instead of slides which I had grown up on). In 1997, at the age of 40, my photo obsession began and I started taking thousands of photos per year. In September, 2002, I switched to digital cameras and the number of photos exploded. Trips this year: In 2000, I took three weeks and drove 10,000 miles across country in my new Saturn station wagon -- taking the northern route through Montana and other places, arriving in San Francisco (a place I'd always wanted to visit), and then returning via a southern route. The cross-country drive meant that I took lots of pictures in a 20 different states (an annual record for me) as well as one foreign country. Too many national parks to mention here but I really wish I had been using a decent digital camera then instead of my old camera. I look back at taken maybe a dozen shots at Mount Rushmore vs what I would take today and I just sigh. Image quality for my pictures is variable because these are scans of slides and/or prints at varying quality/resolutions. The Great Pandemic Digitizing Project: When I was first setting up my website in August, 2000, I had decided to digitize some of my favorite pre-digital slides and prints. The scans were fairly low resolution but they were good enough. With COVID forcing me to stay indoors, I decided to rescan ALL of my pre-digital images from multiple sources (slides, prints, and negatives) at a much higher resolution and quality setting. (I digitized Dad's slides at the same time). Instead of replacing my original scans, I added the new scans to existing pages, figuring I'd select the best ones later. As a result, multiple versions of images appear on most of these early pages. At some point, I'll take the time to do a final review and get rid of the duplicates.
