Blue Basin is a large badlands area that holds the distinct bluish-green celadonite of the Turtle Cove Formation, dating to 29 mya. Turtle Cove holds the largest layer found in the John Day Fossil Beds and holds one of the largest numbers of fossils in Oregon.
The fossil history of John Day records three supervolcanoes that swept through this area. The second of the three, the Crooked River Caldera, became very active around 30 mya, spewing large layers of volcanic ash. Few plants are recorded in the layer, mainly hackberry seeds, though it is apparent that the John Day region had greatly opened up, becoming a mix of woodland and scrubland. Archaeotherium Entelodonts, known as "hell pigs" though they were more closely related to hippopotami, were the apex predator, though they shared predation with the pogondon, nimravus and hoplophoneus nimravids, also known as "false" sabertooth cats. Ancient ancestral dogs such as Mesocyon and its evolutionary successors Philotrox and Enhydrocyons all lived around the same period (known as cladogenesis) until a devastating pyroclastic flow eliminated Philotrox from the area. Enhydrocyons end up becoming one of the largest dog ancestors, weighing up to 23kg. Also present were the Cynarctoides, a lemur-like canine ancestor that climbed trees and at fruits. The predators preyed on various species of mice deer, Hypertragulus and Nanotragulus, the hog-like oreodonts, Agriochoerus. After the two massive volcanic obliterated most of the area, the recovered terrain became more scrubland, and the Agriochoerus were replaced by Paroreodon, Eporeodon and Promerycochoerus. The ancient camel, Gentilicamelus, first appeared, and small mammals such as the rabbit Achaeolagus, and the beaver Capacikala became more frequent.
The 5.2km Blue Basin Overlook Trail seen here is the longest official hike in John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, wrapping its way around Blue Basin before overlooking it on the descent.
The basin is more bluish in the afternoon sunlight, certainly not on a rain-soaked day like this one.

i loved the colour of these flowers some sort of crysamthemum spell it i think, they had some fantastic shades of blue in them
I was totally excited to see some blue herons during my trip to Victoria. It's a first for me to see them so close and to be able to get a few shots as well.

I have debated with myself over this: fiddle with the color, contrast, lights, darks? What? I decided to leave it along. The only editing was a slight crop. Weird color of water, yes? White balance set for cloudy, which it very much was. The water really isn't particularly blue, but I don't remember it being so green.
