Today, Partner and I spent a full day in Yellowstone.  We drove to various nice spots including the Canyon, Artists Way, and Yellowstone Lake.  Along the way, we were on major wildlife lookout.  Partner wanted to see a bear very badly.   We saw a lot of bison, pelicans, and deer.   We missed one of our turns and ended up in a traffic jam.  I was driving and nearly jumped out of my seat when I heard Partner squeal, "A black bear is right over there."  He immediately rolled down the window and started taking pictures.   We got a few good ones, but my favorite quote was when he proudly declared, "I got the bear's ass."

I was struck (again) with the beauty of the park.  We saw more geysers, mountains, and forest.  Two of the places we stopped today had the word Artist in them.  You can certainly imagine an artistic genuis painting vibrant colors.  Also, my nerdiness got affirmed.  At several points I made references to Lord of the Rings, Wizard of Oz, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, various music videos, and Hindi songs.  I think that I may also have referenced some Shakespeare and other literature.  In my defense several points in the Yellowstone National Park could be settings for awesome stories.
