In that time, it had heavier boiling every 5 min or so and then shifted to about every 2 minutes or so, then had a louder and stronger boil, and then went back to boiling extra every 5 min. I gathered that was all it was going to do and moved on. I also noticed that Abyss had lost a lot more of the dark green microbial mat than when I saw it at the end of June. Percolating Spring actually had a bit of water back in it, but not much. Collapsing Pool was green - the comparison photos from May - July 2010 are here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://snowmoon.us/365/?p=792">http://snowmoon.us/365/?p=792</a> I visited at the end of May and a few times in June and all of those times, I could hear something splashing out behind what I've taken as Thumb Geyser (the blue pool - is that right?) - or maybe the something splashing is Thumb Geyser? But the steam was always too thick to pinpoint it. In July, it was hot enough and I did get a photo with the longer lens. Anyone know for sure what this is? The first photo shows the location - just to the left out of the photo is Collapsing Pool. Thanks for any help you can give. :) Janet White SnowMoon Photography <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://snowmoon.us">http://snowmoon.us</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:janet@snowmoon.us">janet@snowmoon.us</a> <img alt="" src="cid:part1.06070503.09070407@snowmoon.us" height="600" width="900"> <img alt="" src="cid:part2.06070706.09060003@snowmoon.us" height="600" width="900"> </body> </html>
