Exhale. Isn’t that the feeling you want for your home?

A home should elevate the way you live, not just look good in photos.That is the difference between a floor plan and a space that was designed around your rituals, your experiences, your exhale. Here at MAD, we design planning, architectural detailing and interior design together. Book a consultation in my bio above.

Our tour guide geologist daughter led us to some awe inspiring sites in Yellowstone on Day 3!

1- The lower waterfall of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone was mesmerizing. We caught a rainbow!

2- The Mud Volcano was a reminder that Yellowstone is alive beneath our feet. The bubbling mud and steaming earth is all powered by its volcanic system.

3- The hike to Trout Lake was well worth it, leading to a peaceful lake surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery.

4- Bison! We couldn’t find them for 2 days until we got to the plains. It was wild lol!

5- Calcite Springs Overlook was breathtaking. The Yellowstone River cuts thru the canyon. I especially loved the basalt columns on the upper level of the canyon walls. They formed when lava cooled and cracked into geometric pillars over millions of years ago! #yellowstonenationalpark #grandcanyonofyellowstone #mudvolcano #troutlake #calcitespringsoverlook

Part 2 in Yellowstone…What did my geologist daughter have planned for us at Yellowstone today? A fascinating thing we learned from Rylie is that beneath Yellowstone lies a massive magma system. This “plumbing” system heats the water that powers the geysers, hot springs, and mud pots. But oh! the incredible colors … guess where they come from?…micro organisms that thrive at different temperatures, turning the landscape into a work of art. See what our day entailed:

1- The Grand Prismatic hot spring: is awe inspiring with its with vibrant colors of orange, blue and brown.
2- Black Sand Basin: a circuit of colorful hot springs and geysers. So many steaming landscapes around every turn.
3- Old Faithful: erupts into a powerful cloud of mist. #yellowstonenationalpark #geology #grandprismstic #blacksandbasin #oldfaithfulgeyser

If you love natural wonders, Yellowstone belongs on your travel bucket list. We spent days exploring one of the most geologically active places on Earth, and I couldn’t fit it all into one post….so here is Part 1 of our Yellowstone adventure.

Mammoth Hot Springs: travertine terraces created by mineral-rich acidic hot water and micro-organisms

Sheepeater Cliff: Ancient lava cooled into striking basalt columns

Obsidian Cliff: volcanic glass!

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone: A breathtaking 308-foot waterfall carving its way through the canyon! #yellowstonenationalpark #geology
