What’s could be worse than forcing your friends to watch family slides of your vacation?  How ’bout putting those slides to music and making them available for the entire world to view?   I was cleaning up one of my old computers and found a Windows Movie I made that is a compilation of pictures from a 2004 visit to Yellowstone.  The piano is by a musician named Dax Johnson.  I think you can find his CDs online.

This trip was my last extended trip to the Park.  I’ve been back a few times for a day or two but nothing of any great length.  I really miss it sometimes.  I think I need to add a return to my to do list.  I have a few books that I would like to read and the overlook at Artemesia geyser is just calling to me.  

I hope you enjoy the 7+ minute video.  I assure you it is much better than having me invite you over for a slide show that could go on for hours.  As my wife would say… Once you ‘ve seen one hole in the ground bubble up… why would want to see another?  Click on the Write a Comment link below and let me know your thoughts.
