Take a second look at the picture above. That shell-shaped cone, on the edge of Yellowstone Lake right in the center of the giant cauldera that is Yellowstone National Park, is a geyser. One of the first geothermal features Alisha and I saw while visiting Yellowstone this past summer, we didn't get to see this particular geyser erupt, but knowing that it could and how gorgeous it would be against the backdrop of the lake and distant mountains spoke to me in a way that I'm still not sure I understand. Sometimes things talk to you, and you listen, even if you don't comprehend what is being said.
