The #NationalParkWeek theme of the day is ingenuity. In today’s spotlight, is the tower of voices. A glorious 93’ tall musical instrument. No other wind chime tower like it in the world 💫

Thank you Emily W. (age 36) for sending us your submission to our children’s art contest. It wasn’t eligible for the contest (the techniques are too advanced) but it’s hanging in our prestigious art museum (my cubicle wall).

In preparation for Volcano Preparedness Month, let’s review common taunts you should avoid:
-poking the volcano & saying “do something”
-“sure you were big in the 80s, so were waterbeds”
-“lahar? more like laharn’t”
-“yo mama was a big butte”
-“Mt. Doom did it better”

🎶In west Yellowstone, I was born and raised
On the valley floor was where I spent most of my days
Wallowin’, grunting, relaxing all cool
And eating lots of grasses, that’s right, no bull 🦬

Only 2 records of this mangrove Pandercetes were documented before. The face-shot illustrates the distinctly elevated ocular region.

Here’s the aurora just north of Ithaca NY. One is a $2400 Sony camera and f/2.8 lens. The other is my iPhone 13 Pro.

Kudos to #nationalparks and partnering organizations for aiming to increase accessibility for all. I’m always impressed with parks that have added wheelchair-accessible trails, such as Island Forest Loop .

Pro tip: bring water when watching the northern lights. Your mouth tends to get dry when jaw is on the floor.
#Aurora at lower latitudes is uncommon, but they appear a few times yearly in #Yellowstone. Did you see them where you are? Show us your photos!

The Blackfeet built a beautiful interpretive site overlooking St. Mary Valley and surrounding peaks . The self-guided path is a great way to learn about Blackfeet history and culture.
