Invited To See The Baby Peeps
There was not much time to relax after we woke up on Friday, August 1. There were suitcases to unpack, laundry to do, the house to get ready for houseguests who were arriving on Saturday evening, and the pavilion to prepare for a Sunday reunion. Jere and Kristen’s boys invited us to come see their new […]
You are my God.
Show me what you want me to do, and let your gentle Spirit lead me in the right path. Psalm 143:10 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
Supper In Jackson & Flying Home
Wednesday Evening, July 30 & Thursday, July 31 After getting settled into our motel in the town of Jackson, we walked to Sweetwater Restaurant ~ a few blocks away. It was a beautiful evening so we sat outside. (I chose to leave my camera in the motel, so these are cell phone pictures.) My favorite food here […]
Let patience have its perfect work
that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. James 1:4 New King James Version (NKJV)
Last Afternoon In Yellowstone
Wednesday, July 30 You knew it would soon be coming ~ my last post on Yellowstone. 🙂 While having lunch on the deck at Tower Falls we noticed a young mule deer. There were fifty-plus people walking around the parking lot and in the campground store, but she contentedly grazed along the road ~ unnoticed by most […]

Instead, keep the peace, and be considerate. Titus 3:2 The Voice (VOICE)
Continuing Our Morning Saga ~ Day 3 In Yellowstone
Wednesday, July 30 Our goal for Wednesday was to meander over roads where we had seen wildlife and beautiful scenery on the previous two days. We continued to see bison as we traveled away from the Mud Volcano area. As you can see, the fog had not yet lifted in Hayden Valley. I liked this […]
The God who rules from heaven is in control.
Daniel 4:26 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
Mud Volcano ~ Day 3 In Yellowstone
Wednesday, July 30 We were glad that we arrived here early enough in the day to find a parking spot. I find these boiling, gurgling mud pots interesting and fascinating. This was correctly named, as it gave a continuous deep rumbling sound from somewhere underground. While listening to Dragons Mouth Spring, Cerwin noticed a bison coming over […]

A Foggy Morning ~ Day 3 In Yellowstone
Wednesday, July 30 I think this is a raven because it was larger than a crow. I thought it looked pretty in the morning fog ~ as pretty as a raven can be. 🙂 The fog created a slight haze in the morning sunshine. Some places more than others. Our next stop was Mud Volcano Area […]
Keep your conscience clear.
Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ. 1 Peter 3:16 New Living Translation (NLT)
The First Hour ~ Day 3 In Yellowstone
Wednesday, July 30 This was the view from our cabin’s front door ~ about 6:56 AM. I love weed flowers and seed pods. Our cabin at Flagg Ranch. Cerwin taking our luggage to the car. Our rental car. We saw this mule deer shortly after leaving our motel. Pretty morning scenery Those first pictures all […]
The Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise!
No one can fathom his greatness! Psalm 145:3 New English Translation (NET Bible)
Late Afternoon & Evening ~ Yellowstone Day 2
Tuesday July 29 I enjoyed seeing the flower-covered hillsides as we traveled northwest to Mount Washburn. We will remember Chittenden Road to Mount Washburn because… …it was a very bumpy dirt road. The beauty was worth every bump in the road. By the time we reached Tower-Roosevelt, we had traveled every main road in Yellowstone, so we turned […]
Our Lord is great.
Nothing is impossible with His overwhelming power. He is loving, compassionate, and wise beyond all measure. Psalm 147:5 The Voice (VOICE)
Grand Canyon Of Yellowstone ~ Day 2 In Yellowstone
Tuesday Afternoon, July 29 We arrived at Canyon Falls about 1 PM. We hadn’t eaten since having coffee and sharing a muffin while waiting for a display from Old Faithful ~ about 7:30 AM ~ so we looked for a place for lunch. We shared a BLT and fries. We spent the next two hours exploring the […]
A person cannot stand firm on a foundation of wickedness,
and the roots of righteous people cannot be moved. Proverbs 12:3 Names of God Bible (NOG)
Firehole Falls & Gibbon Falls – Day 2 in Yellowstone
Tuesday, July 29 We enjoyed the scenery after leaving Old Faithful and headed north to Madison. We headed west after getting to Madison to do the West Entrance drive. I asked Cerwin to stop so I could get a photo of this reflection. As I was taking the picture, I noticed that the reflection was […]
Your decisions are always fair.
They are firm like mountains, deep like the sea, and all people and animals are under your care. Psalm 36:6 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
Old Faithful ~ Day Two In Yellowstone
Tuesday, July 29 We left the cabin early (about 6:45 AM) on Tuesday morning to get to Old Faithful before the crowds and saw this coyote a few minutes later. It was right next to our car (on Cerwin’s side), we were moving in opposite directions, and it was still a bit dark ~ my list of excuses for […]
Your love is faithful, Lord
and even the clouds in the sky can depend on you. Psalm 36:5 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
Fountain Paint Pot Trail ~ Day 1 In Yellowstone
Monday, July 28 As we approached Fountain Paint Pot area, we didn’t know what we were in for. The parking lot was full of cars and buses, and we almost decided to leave ~ but then we saw an open spot and decided to park and see what it was all about. It turned out to be a […]
Our First View Of Yellowstone
Monday, July 28 Our first entrance into Yellowstone was through the Northeast Entrance – about 10:00 AM on Monday. We were soon rewarded with our first animal sighting when we saw herds of bison in Lamar Valley. This became an almost common experience in certain areas – bison on the road – as we spent several days in […]
