Travel photo of the day: A grand spring at Yellowstone
Janell Duncan sent in this wonderful photo of the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park.
The photo, Duncan told TODAY.com, was taken in August 2010 when she, her husband and their children visited Yellowstone as part of a tour of national parks that also included Arches in Utah, Badlands in South Dakota and Grand Teton in Wyoming.
"It was a clear day with little wind," Duncan said. "Since there was little wind it allowed the steam from the spring to linger over the spring, making the steam appear the blue."
Duncan, who calls herself an amateur photographer, took the picture with a Nikon D5000.
"I love to take pictures to preserve the memories of the occasion," she said. "Our family had a great time on our little adventure, and to tell you the truth, I don't think we will forget it even if we didn't have pictures to look back on."

"It's so hypocritical to say 'don't hunt' when they take pictures for profit. They don't respect the Park Service. They get tickets for being too close." "Why not work together," Schroth says. "The goal is the same, to protect the animals." Teton

My original plans for my June 2011 trip west only had me visiting Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. Enough people kept asking me if I was going to the Grand Teton National Park – that I finally added a few days in Grand Teton to my itinerary. I’m so glad I did – Grand Teton National Park was probably my favorite park that I visited!!!! And to think – I hadn’t originally planned on going there.
What I loved about Grand Teton was the amazing views of the mountains. From almost anywhere in the park, I had incredible views of gorgeous mountains. It did make driving a bit of a challenge – I wasn’t the only driver who was getting distracted by the beautiful scenery! The view of the barn along Mormon Row with the mountains in the background was one of my favorite scenes in the park. And being a photographer – of course I had to photograph the barn – just like so many thousands (millions, maybe?) of photographers before me have.

The wildlife in Grand Teton was also pretty amazing. I saw my first wild moose there. I got caught in several moose jams at Grand Teton (a traffic jam caused by a moose) – but I didn’t mind. The moose were incredible to see. On one of my hikes I saw four different mother and baby moose! The babies were so cute. If you ever see a mother and baby moose in the wild – be sure to keep your distance – mother moose can be as dangerous if not more dangerous than a mother bear protecting her young.

My favorite part of Grand Teton National Park was the wildflowers!!!!! I found and photographed more types of wildflowers at Grand Teton than I did anywhere else on my trip. The park was enough further south and lower in elevation than Yellowstone that instead of feet of snow – I was much more likely to find patches of wildflowers!!!
