Set back from the busy thoroughfare of Oxford Road, this statuesque ash tree has all the characteristics for which it’s celebrated. Tall and graceful in appearance with a wide spreading lush canopy of green. In winter, ash is easily recognised by its smooth grey twigs, fissured bark and hard, black leaf buds. Ash is a very long-lived tree, reaching up to 400 years old and growing to a height of 35 metres.
The ash is one of the UK’s few native trees and the third most common tree in Britain, making up 30% of our woodland cover. They also provide the perfect habitat for a multitude of wildlife. The airy canopy and early leaf fall allows sunlight to reach the woodland floor, providing perfect conditions for wildflowers. Bullfinches may eat the seeds and woodpeckers, owls, redstarts and nuthatches use the trees for nesting. Ash bark on older trees such as these is often covered with lichens and mosses.
Grand Prismatic Spring, Excelsior Group, northern Midway Geyser Basin, Yellowstone Hotspot, northwestern Wyoming, USA in August 2011.
Grand Prismatic Spring is, by far, the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. This rainbow-colored hot spring is best appreciated from the boardwalk along the northeastern edge of the pool and from atop Midway Bluff, a hill on the eastern side of the highway next to the Firehole River and from “7622 Hill” on the southeastern side of Fairy Falls Trail/Fountain Freight Road. [7622 Hill is now off limits due to the death of a Taiwanese tourist on the hillside in 2014; a boardwalk leading up to a viewing platform is supposedly being planned.]
The deep blue color at the center of the pool is the result of very hot water having abundant, suspended, <0.5 micron-sized, colloidal silica particles. The yellow, orangish, reddish, and brownish areas are mats of extremophile bacteria (e.g., Phormidium, Synechococcus, Calothrix). The greenish areas are the effect of “blue water” mixing with the light reflecting from the yellowish bacterial mats.
Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in the world. It does not erupt as a geyser.

A V-twin Excelsior Auto Cycle takes the hill in the 1920 Oregon City Hill Climb. Its 1920 Oregon plates help confirm the year.
Excelsiors were made from 1909 until 1931, eventually being owned by Schwinn. Often used for racing, in 1912 the Excelsior was the first motorcycle to reach a recorded 100 miles an hour.

This is on a small stream with a handful of water falls. The lower falls (also found in my photostream) is just off the nearest road, but not directly visible from it. These "middle" falls, about 30 feet tall, is about 0.08 mile up the trail (steep but walkable). There is one small falls I found along the way that required a rope to get to, which I didn't have. I need to go back sometime :)
