Hot and cold

 OLD FAITHFUL, WY - - On our day off, Sunday, we went exploring some places in the park where we won't be stopping on our tours.  Norris Geyser Basin, has plenty of up-and-coming beginner geysers...the ones just learning to spout hot (180-degree) water.

On the other side of the coin, there are a lot of streams carrying snow melt runoff which makes the water pretty cold.  This elk was  tentative in her first steps into the stream and then moved quickly to the other side in search of  green-ish vegetation.
