Ash (Fraxinus americana) 13 inch. The wood is white and quite dense, strong, and straight-grained. The tree's common English name, ash, goes back to the Old English æsc, while the generic name originated in Latin. Both words also meant "spear" in their respective languages. In Norse mythology, the World Tree Yggdrasil is commonly held to be an ash tree, and the first man, Ask, was formed from an ash tree. Elsewhere in Europe, snakes were said to be repelled by ash leaves or a circle drawn by an ash branch. Irish folklore claims that shadows from an ash tree would damage crops. In Cheshire, it was said that ash could be used to cure warts or rickets. It is the timber of choice for production of baseball bats and tool handles. The wood is also favorable for furniture and flooring. It makes a very serviceable longbow if properly worked.

This Ash-throated Flycatcher was one of 4 or 5 working along the shoreline of Burris Basin, Anaheim (Orange Co), CA, on 5 September, 2016. This individual showed several features consistent with a "hatch-year" bird.
While I was hiking part of the Palo Duro Canyon, I was distracted by the calls of an ash-throated flycatcher. After looking around a bit, I found him stretching and calling. I did not get a good image of him calling but I got this image.
Mientras que hacía el senderismo en una parte del Cañón Palo Duro, me distrayó el canto de un copetón gorjicenizo. Después de haberlo buscado un poco, lo encontré. No pude lograr unas fotos de él cantando, poro sí logré ésta.

She is adorable.
My friend Debbie told me that her pastor was going to be doing blessing with ash for Ash Wednesday in our little town square. She told me this because I had mentioned that I would love to photograph some people that are being blessed, and/or have the ash on their forehead. I am kind of obsessed with spiritual and religious rights and not being a Christian, I often don't get to witness these events. I also value and respect the sacredness of all traditions so wouldn't crash anyone's party just to get a photo. Anyway, I went down to the square and after asking permission, of course, was able to grab some images of people during and after their blessings. This was one of the images I got of a person I did not know who was willing to let me grab a capture.
This image was taken in full-spectrum with a converted Sony A55. It was taken in RAW and processed in Linux using RawTherapee.

Ash Cave was apparently a sacred and important ceremonial site to ancient native Americans and derives its name from the large piles of wood ashes found at the site. Ash Cave is another site in Ohio's Hocking Hills State Park that is about 5 miles away from the Old Mans Cave Site. This is a photo from my June visit to Ash Cave. Thanks for your wonderful comments and patience while I got posting photos of these two sites out of my system. The challenges with bright light and harsh shadows I encountered while photographing these sites has inspired me to purchase some neutral density gradient filters for my camera and I have started reading up on HDR. There is still plenty left to explore in this beautiful state park so I plan to return for more photos.

Rare bird sighting at Boundary Bay, the Ash-throated Flycatcher's range extends from Western United States and into Mexico. It most northerly range usually extends only as far as the mid and southern part of Washington state. To say I am excited to see it here is an understatement!!
