Yes, I did photograph within some of the iconic locations, such as Upper Geyser Basin, Biscuit Basin, Fountain Paint Pots Nature Trail, and Mammoth Hot Springs.Ībstract art in nature, Yellowstone National Park / Rebecca LatsonĪs I mentioned earlier, I managed to snag parking spots at Upper Geyser Basin, Biscuit Basin, Fountain Paint Pots Na ture Trail, and Mammoth Hot Springs, where I photographed not only the blue-green hues of steaming thermal pools and the erupting waters of well-known geysers, but also the colorful results and curious textures of all that geothermal activity. I made the most of my photo ops in whatever vicinity I happened to find myself for the day, and I want to share what I saw and learned from my short, very crowded stay in America's first national park. Although I never was able to see all the sights on my list because there was no parking anywhere after about 8 a.m., that did not stop me from capturing some amazing images, not only of a few iconic locations, but also of scenes and subjects I observed around me, far from any geyser. Yellowstone, on the other hand, was far and away the most crowded national park I’ve yet to visit. That national park is a less-populated gem about which I wrote in a previous column. OK, maybe not so much at Petrified Forest. I’ll say this for traveling during the summer: It’s crowded at these places. Morning light over Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park / Rebecca LatsonĪs mentioned in my January article, I turned my move from southeast Texas to central Washington into a three-week photographic road trip, visiting Petrified Forest National Park, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Grand Teton National Park, and Yellowstone National Park.

I’ve long suspected that so many of our answers lie beyond what is ‘known,’ and that at this moment in time, a collective maturation of our relationship with uncertainty is necessary. Oriented to the connections between intentions, concepts, functions, language, and time, my intelligence is dynamic and precise, always working in the dark, creating elegant and functional sense inside knowns, unknowns, and the relationships between both. My long, strange, meteoric patchwork of a career journey has taken me all over the map – into community, marketing, brand, communications, holistic strategy, organizational leadership, people management, leadership development, coaching… the works, really.Ĭo-creating successful strategies, programs, systems, teams, campaigns,“Capital B” brands/portfolios… well, it feels a bit like child’s play (in the best of ways) to me at this point.Īs I reflect on the depth and breadth of my experience (which most certainly challenges any specialized or reductionist model), I’ve learned that I am uniquely talented in harnessing the power and potential that lives inside the unknown.īy nature, I’m incisive, insightful, and uncommonly meta and flexible in perspective a lateralist with a penchant for people, systems, and connective tissue.
