YELLOWSTONE


What do you wear in Yellowstone? A big comfy blanket. Well to tell you the truth everything Melody wore was an absolute disaster because camping and fashion just do not mix. This particular morning pictured, you should be grateful that the outfit underneath was covered up by this hefty blanket. It was SOOOO cold that multiple layers of thermals, pants, sweatshirts and wool socks under hiking/water shoes, was of utmost necessity since staying warm was the priority. We woke up deathly early that morning to hear and possibly see the wolves in action (which we definitely did hear, but sadly couldn't see because of immense fog), that you are literally seeing Melody right after waking up (messy hair and all). We know that this is not a fashion post, but sometimes you gotta just leave it all behind. Being out with the buffalo wrapped up in a quilt hand-made by her Grandma Bea just felt right. Almost as though stepping back in time was the point of that morning. Seeing the bison and being out on the plains brings thoughts of settlers and native Americans to the forefront; where log cabins and teepees, quilts and furs were the essence of life. It's as though American history stares one in the face out there. And for a split second it's almost like you're back there. That's Yellowstone for you. We think you should go. We also think you should bring along a quilt.  You definitely won't regret it.

  2. You were pretty close to where I live! We live about 2 1/2-3 hours from Yellowstone! To be honest, I think I take Montana beauty for granted. I didn't really enjoy Yellowstone when we went up there...then again I see that kind of beauty outside my back door-spoiled, I know!

  3. I cannot believe how close you were to those beautiful creatures. I pulled myself just inches away from the screen because I wasn't sure if you had photoshopped yourself into the images!! A beautiful post - thank you for sharing it. :)

  5. I just left Yellowstone this morning and sported a similar look yesterday morning as the temp that night had gone down into the 20s! Awesome pictures!

  6. Gorgeous! I love the way the colorful squares of the blanket look against the neutral WY background. And WHOA! Bison! That is amazing. The one time I was in WY there was a lot of fog, too. Is it just a WY thing, I wonder? Thanks for sharing the pictures!
