Rock on the wood.

Maybe not Quite detail enough, but in this immense landscape, a boulder larger than my family room is a detail.



Or a Moki, in geological time, just about free.

Wood or stone?

Moqui Marbles in their baby phase. Now it takes a long time until they precipitate out of the rock

I found this really cool fossil while walking in 50 Mile Gulch in GSENM
It definitely made my day

Took the Macro lens for a walk around the farm yesterday.

Pollen Cones on a Norway Spruce (I think. )



Dogwood Blossom.



I was very excited to see these -- flowers on the Paw Paw three I planted years ago. Hopefully I'll have some fruits later this year.



Lastly, I was so focused on the Paw Paw tree that I almost stepped on this little guy. First snake sighting of the year!

Weird rock in a creek, any idea what it is?

Cannot say definitively, but it looks like a fossil to me. Ancient worm trails thru mud that eventually turned into shale/slate.

Same area where you saw that other interesting rock?

That was what I was thinking.

Not sure what other rock you are thinking of, but I doubt it. This was in the Daniel Boone NF in southern KY.

@Janice I just realized what rock you were thinking of. This rock was about 50 miles north of the other rock.

The other rock for comparison

Yes - this is the one I was referring to. It would be interesting to have an expert give input on these!

Reminds me of the skeletal remains of a cactus we just saw in Arizona. Very similar structure.

Gnarly old Bristlecone Pine and exposed root. These were core sampled at over 3,000 years old.

Looks like it wants to eat your soul.
