Warm thermal/mineralize water in the streams of Yellowstone produce plants unique to their environment.

$Late fall mornings in Yellowstone are often foggy with thermal haze. When conditions are just right, it can be magical. On this particular morning I was walking through the woods looking for something totally different. Sunlight suddenly came through the trees and back lit the grass in front of me. The ice on the grass reflected and refracted the light into these beautiful colors just as if someone had plugged in the Christmas tree! It will always be a very special moment in my memories :)$
