It was fascinating to see how the floral designers interpreted each art piece. In a way, it reminded me of jazz or remixed music: taking an existing work and interpreting it in your own medium, through your own perspective.

Jasper-quartz pebble conglomerate from the Precambrian of Canada.
Southeastern Canada's ~2.3 billion year old Lorrain Formation includes some beautiful rocks that rockhounds have nicknamed "puddingstone". This refers to whitish-gray quartzites having common pebbles of red jasper.
The Lorrain Formation is somewhat heterolithic. Published studies mention that the unit has arkoses, subarkoses, quartzites, and jasper-pebble conglomerates. The quartzites were originally sandstones. They have been well cemented and somewhat metamorphosed into very hard rocks. The jasper-pebble conglomerates, or "puddingstones", include clasts of white quartz and reddish jaspilites. Pebble shapes range from rounded to subrounded to subangular to angular. Ordinarily, a sedimentary rock having rounded pebbles is called "conglomerate", and a rock having angular pebbles is called "breccia". This material has both shape categories, but is referred to as "conglomerate" here. Calling it "breccia" is fine with me, if a sample has all angular pebbles.
Jaspilite is a type of BIF (banded iron formation). BIFs only formed on Earth during the Precambrian - most are Paleoproterozoic in age. They are the # 1 source of iron ore for the world's steel industry. Numerous specific types of BIFs are known. Jaspilite consists of alternating laters of red and silvery-gray, iron-rich minerals. The red layers are hematite or jasper (= hematitic chert). The silver-gray layers are usually rich in magnetite and/or specular hematite. Jaspilite BIFs outcrop in many areas around Lake Superior, for example in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Minnesota, and Ontario.
During the Paleoproterozoic, BIFs were subaerially exposed as paleo-outcrops and eroded, producing BIF sediments, including many red jasper pebbles. These mixed with quartz-rich sediments.
Regional studies indicate that the Lorrain Formation was deposited in ancient shallow ocean, lake, delta, and shoreline environments.

For those who like geometric forms. The bridge railing points directly to the crest of the first falls at Corbett's Glen. I don't know why I never took this shot before. It's kind of interesting. Allen's Creek makes and abrupt left turn as it goes under the bridge.
After my trip to the Arctic, where I never did get to see the aurora, this was a very rewarding event. In spite of the hordes of black flies which might as well have eaten me alive, I was truly happy with what I had documented, all in the window of just half an hour!
One of the several new agates I found in the Doebbler caliche pits on March 9, 2008. It has anglular shapes which may indicate it formed between crystals or brecciated rock, such as limestone.
A Tri-colored Heron gives me every opportunity to get a decent shot as he hunts on Horsepen Bayou.
This particular heron gave me every opportunity to take photos as he ran here and there trying to catch some fish. He was very difficult to track as he moved so quickly at times. Hope you'll don't get bored with all of the shots.

Not much in the way of post-production was needed here; the subject itself has a very strange perspective feel to it, which I managed to capture decently in the shot.

Pemphis acidula J.R. Forst. Lythraceae. CN: [Malay and regional vernacular names - Mentigi, Indonesia - Sentigi, Centigi, Mentigi, Cantinggi, Santigi], Small-leaved mangrove. Distribution - along the east coast of Africa from Somalia to Mozambique and on the Indian Ocean islands. It is further found on shores of tropical Asia and Australia, and on islands of the Pacific Ocean. In Peninsular Malaysia scattered, commonest in the south. Shrub to 8 m tall; bole usually gnarled and much branched; bark surface dark grey, rough, reticulately flaking; twigs angular, densely hairy, nodes thickened with conspicuous leaf scars. Leaves opposite, simple and entire, sessile; stipules absent; flowers solitary in leaf axils, bisexual, Habitat -rocky and sandy shores; landward side of mangroves. It may also be found exposed to the ocean, but then often partly sheltered by rocky shore, and it is occasionally even found below the high-water mark. Wood sought after for specialty uses such as for making rosary beads. Plant also cultivated as bonsai.
