A first hike of the year to Indian Head Cove / Grotto in BPNP. At mid-day, I did not expect conditions to be great for photography and they were not ... even so, I'll always grab a few shots for the record.
This was taken on the beach behind Gilbert's Bar House of Refuge, in Martin County, FL. (More on this to come)
"The Anastasia Formation is a geologic formation deposited in Florida during the Late Pleistocene epoch.
The Anastasia Formation was named by E. H. Sellards in 1912.
Coquina obtained from this formation on Anastasia Island was used to construct Castillo de San Marcos during the late 17th century; a local material, it was relatively easy to quarry and proved to be effective for absorbing cannon damage. This formation is an integral part of the surficial aquifersystem.
Formed through multicyclic deposition the formation contains at least two disconformities, and two detectable ages. The formation registers in the late Pleistocene with oldest samples aging at 110,000 YBP based on radiometric dating."

The waning Sap Moon makes its descent behind the Flatirons, as a spring sunrise reveals the aftermath of a significant spring snow-storm over the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies. This is one of my favorite vantages of the Flatiron formation and the town I call home, but getting up there through the 14" of crusty consolidated wet snow was more work than I anticipated. The Sap Moon is also called the Worm Moon by some people, as it is (often) this time of year that worm castings appear and attract the first Robins of Spring.
I had to take a quick break from the photos of Patagonia to show off a bit of unexpected home town glory. I think this was one of the most beautiful sunrises and full moon sets I've ever had the privilege to photograph, though I am not sure how well I have done it justice here.
For those who have read this far, I hope you enjoy as much as I did experiencing it! This is a horizontal stitch of three images, and then a fourth image for the proper moon exposure.

The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon is a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks.

Bow Fiddle Rock is a natural sea arch near Portknockie on the eastern coast of Scotland. It is so called because it resembles the tip of a fiddle bow. It is composed of Quartzite, a metamorphic rock which was originally quartz sandstone. This rock is part of the Cullen Quartzite formation which is seen along the coast between Buckie and Cullen and is some 2,400m thick and dates from the Neoproterozoic Era, 1,000 to 541 million years ago These rocks were folded when the ancient continents of Laurentia and Avalonia collided during the Caledonian orogeny. They later became exposed at the surface where sea and weather eroded the structure seen today The rock formation is both a tourist attraction and nesting place for sea birds including herring gulls, great black-backed gulls and lesser black-backed gulls. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_Fiddle_Rock
Portknockie (Scottish Gaelic: Port Chnocaidh, the hilly port) is a coastal village on the Moray Firth within Moray, Scotland. The village's name is written as Portknockies in the Old Parish Registers. This would suggest that the port's name referred to not one, but two rocky hills at the hythe - the Port Hill and the Greencastle. Nearby towns include Buckie, Findochty and Cullen. The village was founded in 1677 and it became a significant herring fishing port during the nineteenth century, although today only a handful of commercial inshore boats remain. The town was on the railway network, until Portknockie station closed in 1968. A popular site in Portknockie is Bow Fiddle Rock, a large rock about 50 feet high just off the coast. The quartzite structure has a large sea arch, which somewhat resembles the bow of a fiddle, making it an example of a natural arch. Small numbers of seabirds nest on the coastal cliffs. These include fulmar, black-legged kittiwake, common gull, razorbill and shag. Additionally common eider can be seen in and around the harbour and coves during the summer months. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portknockie
Such a magical place that I’m patiently waiting to visit again here soon. Those cold chilly mornings get the mist going on the water that turns this already beautiful landscape into an ethereal story from a fantasy book. So eerie, but yet so quiet and peaceful .
Here's an image from last fall. It's easliy one of my favorites from my travels throughout the swamps.
