Miscellaneous Yellowstone pictures

Here is a collection of photos that didn't fit into any of the previous categories but were too pretty not to include.

As we were walking along some of the boardwalks meandering among the hot springs, it was often very windy. Not too surprising given the large number of people that pass through each day, several people lose their hats to the wind. The last thing you want to do is step off the boardwalk to retrieve your hat. I saw abandoned hats at least four separate times laying on the unstable ground. I assumed that one of the park staff deals with retrieving the hats. Otherwise, the place would soon be littered with them. My suspicions were confirmed.
