Saunders Fine Arts POTD - Excelsior Geyser Crater, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

For #ThrowbackThursday, a photo from our 2016 visit to the Excelsior Geyser Crater in the Midway Geyser Basin at Yellowstone National Park. At 190 degrees, this spring is even hotter than the Grand Prismatic Spring.

We took our time Airstreaming through Wyoming, Montana, and Arizona with our Airstream Bambi (the Baked Potato) on this unforgettable trip, and we look forward to visiting other parts of these beautiful states again with our Flying Cloud, the Sweet Potato.

Saunders Fine Arts POTD - Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone National Park

#TakeMeBackTuesday to the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park. 

This spring, the largest hot spring in the country, is said to generate more than 500 gallons of 160 degree water every minute. You can almost never get a complete look at it because the water is so hot it generates constant massive steam clouds. And the colors of the microbes around it ...

Saunders Fine Arts POTD - Caturday

For #Caturday, our pretty little princess Opal, who we lost to cancer in 2014. 

She was a sweet, gentle little fluff ball who loved to sprawl out on the floor on her back and nap in the sun by a window. (We tried to catch that in this photo, but the shutter sound made her open her eyes and swivel her head around.) 

She had the prettiest green eyes and a little pink nose that she would constantly get food stuck in while eating, but she would only let Patrick get it out, because Opal was totally daddy's girl.
