Grand Pristmatic Spring
Yesterday i went out with Pat & Bill
first we went ot West Yellowstone to buy something
there we stepped on our trip!!
we drove along the road from Madison to Old Faithful
they drove Firehole Canyon Drive for showing me the beautiful firehole river
and there was a swimming area along the river
where were so many people there!!!
and them we drove the Firehole Lake Drive
there are many hot spring along the road
and in the end of the road was the Firehold Lake
it's a hot spring i guess, it keeped steaming!!!
and the wind was so big, all the steam came to us, made us feel so warm!!!
the lake was so beautiful and big!!!
and the next destination is the place which i want to see most in Yellowstone
Grand Pristmatic Spring
it located at Midway Geyser Basin
there are 3 geysers here, but this one is one i like most
why i like it most??
because i just saw the picture in Taiwan there years ago
there was a photographer traveling the world and took pictures from the high attitude
he ones had an exhibition along the love river in Kaohsiung
and there was the time i met this spring
it was just like a rainbow, the color is so charming... attractive to me
it made a deep impression to me
and yesterday.... i finally saw it live....

It's the largest hot spring in United States, and the 3rd largest in the world
[color]
The vivid colors in the spring are the result of pigmented bacteria in the microbial mats that grow around the edges of the mineral-rich water. The bacteria produce colors ranging from green to red; the amount of color in the microbial mats depends on the ratio of chlorophyll to carotenoids. In the summer, the mats tend to be orange and red, whereas in the winter the mats are usually dark green.[5] The center of the pool is sterile due to extreme heat.
The deep blue color of the water in the center of the pool results from a light-absorbing overtone of the hydroxy stretch of water [6]. Though this effect is responsible for making all large bodies of water blue, it is particularly intense in Grand Prismatic Spring because of the high purity and depth of the water in the middle of the spring.
[physical structure]
The spring is approximately 250 by 300 feet (75 by 91 m) in size and is 160 feet (49 meters) deep. The spring discharges an estimated 560 gallons (2000 litres) of 160°F (71°C) water per minute.[7]

What Makes the Colors?
The colors of the Yellowstone thermal features are justly famous. They were first mentioned by Osborne Russell, a trapper who spent the years 1834-1843 in the Yellowstone region. Viewing what is now called Grand Prismatic Spring, Russell noted: "The steam which arose from it was of three distinct colors. From the West side for one third of the diameter it was white, in the middle it was pale red, and the remaining third on the East light sky blue. Whether it was something peculiar in the state of the atmosphere.. or whether it was some chemical properties contained in the water... I am unable to say and shall leave the explanation to some scientific tourist who may...visit this place in the future."
What causes these colors? In Grand Prismatic spring, and others of similar character, the orange color is due to pigmented bacteria of the microbial mats, and the blue color to refracted skylight. The principal pigment for photosynthesis is chlorophyll, which is green. However, chlorophyll is sometimes masked by carotenoids, pigments related to vitamin A, which are orange, yellow, or red. Carotenoids protect the cells from the bright sunlight that occurs in Yellowstone, especially during the summer.
The color of a mat depends principally upon the ratio of chlorophyll to carotenoids. In the summer the chlorophyll content is often low, so that the microbial mats appear orange, red, or yellow. In the winter, the mats are usually dark green, because at this time of year the sunlight is subdued and chlorophyll dominates over carotenoids. In fact, even a few cloudy days in mid-summer can lead to an increase in chlorophyll and a darkening of the mats.
Thus, it is not just the kinds of bacteria but the response they make to sunlight that determines the colors.

it's my first time to go out with them^^
and next Thursday, i will go out with Anne
she is an old lady too, but she is funny and genuie
and she teaches me some Spanish!!! that's funny~~
mother told me that it's not good to depend on "feeling" to choose friends
but for me, that's the only way to choose friends
if one is naive and genuie, i would feel comfortable to get along with them
anyway, i will not be sad when i leave here

Christmas
tomorrow, Aug. 24, is the christmas here
but my two important working partners are both not here...
it makes the specific day is as usual as the others...
i saw them off yesterday and today....
i am really sad... for i really enjoy working with them
the first one is my gift department leader, Nona
she is and old lady, who has really beautiful blue eyes and brilliant smile
she is humorous and elegant, i like her so much...
but out of some reasons, she and his husband quit the job here and go home much earlier
i havent go out with them yet!!!
and i just get the chance to go out with here this week for we finally have the same day-off
but it still to late...
the second one is the guy i work with at confession
his name Brian, and he comes from Hong Kong
who studies law and 3 years younger than me
but i think he is much maturer than me....
he is funny and has good attitude toward his job
he knows and tries to make good coffee, ice cream, and beautiful sundae
he knows in what situation the coffee will become bitter or light....
and he always say hello loudly to those old men who work here
i think he makes those seniors' heart warm and younger
this is the reason why i like to work with him than other Taiwanese girls here...
girls always think about the money (ex. how to make more tips, or argue why some customers dont give tips, or try to get more hours...)
but not try to understand more about those coffee and ice cream
or try to say hello to those old men surrounding us....
i am so tired about this talking topics.... so tired....
thus, Brian is really a good partner to me.
i am sad to see them get away from me...
although i know that we just meet for a temperate period
although i know that i can never keep anyone beside me
my mood still be effected by the departure
but... why in this situation.... i cann't cry??
i should cry.... for them...
for the voice i may not hear or the smile i may not see again...
thank you both for coming into my life

i had a nightmare again last night
just slept for one and half hour, i was awake by a nightmare
it's the second time that i dreamed about the death of my family....
it was terrible, i cried out badly...
in this week, my roommate work at late shift, so she sleep very late
i always sleep at 12:00, but when she comes in the room
i am always awake by the voice of their talking voice, the light, the sound made by the door....
i really sleep badly this weed..god...
it might be one of the reason which result in my unstable mood lately

my job
at the first month, my job is stocking in gift department
it's boring, but i can touch all the kinds of gifts here
most of them are mugs, cups, key chains, stuffed animals
at August, i was transfered to confession
i scoop ice cream, sundae, make coffee( the coffee are made by coffee machine ), or be a cachier there.
accutually, it's much fun here, for i have to face many customers everyday
besides, i love to make mocha and sundae!!!
i try to make these two kinds of food beautiful, but i haven't very successful yet....
i guess i am successful making the sundae look nice
however, i never eat the sundae before, not sure how to make it delicious...
and the mocha
the only thing i can contral is the volume of the chocolate syrup and the shape of the whipped cream on the top
until now, i still cann't make the cream beautiful, and precisely control the volume of chocolate syrup....but i try everyday (and drink mocha everyday XD) hope i can be good one day...
one of my co-worker is a boy from Hong Kong, who has been working at confession for two months
to be honest, it's much better to work with him than other girls...
at least, he make me feel relax.... but he will leave here on Thursday
i guess the confession will become less funny after he leaves.... so sad

HUMAN
everyone has many defferent sides, right?
one may be okay to get along with while in daily life
but he/she may give you quite different feelings when you work with them...
for exmaple, i really hate people always tell mewhat to do when i am working
i know what's my duty
but their giggling really made feel unhappy!!
girls seem much easier to become nervous
for example, when the customer line becomes long
those girls quick talking pace really drives me crazy
why cann't they take easy??
i have my own working tempo, don't interrupt me with your own thoughts!!
sometimes i really with i am a man
then i may be able to put up with those girls....
