When we first got to the park (East Entrance) I was concerned that we might not see many wildflowers. There were 3 and 4 foot drifts of snow. Parts of the road driving in had signs “No Stopping - Avalance Danger.” It wasn’t encouraging.
Wildflowers are opportunists, however. The next morning we hiked around on the boardwalks of Upper Geyser Basin. There was plenty of yellow from the Monkeyflowers. They were taking advantage of the heat being released by the thermal features.
Some of my photos were more for context, i.e. what was surrounding the flowers or what was their environment. That’s the case for the Yellow Monkeyflowers, taking over an embankment.
My closeup suffered a bit from what the auto-focus latched onto.
