This was the case for this grass clump that I found along the Fountain Paint Pot Nature Trail. As I walked down the trail I noticed that some grass clumps have found a way to grow amidst the toxic runoff from nearby geysers and hot springs. This particular plant was growing on the runoff of the\u00a0Celestine Pool. Note the seed heads on the stalks.<\/p>\n<p>The Celestine Pool was made famous in 1981 when a California man dove head first into the 200-degree water to rescue his friend&#8217;s dog that had jumped into the pool. The man did not realize that the pool&#8217;s temperature was that of boiling water and ignored warnings from park visitors to stay away. Both the dog and the man perished.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10065\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10065\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/20160922-fountain-paint-pot-nature-trail-04-edit.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"10065\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2016\/10\/grass-clump\/grass-clump-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/20160922-fountain-paint-pot-nature-trail-04-edit.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1000,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
