A representative soil profile of Aberdeen silt loam. This soil is dark to a depth of about 85 centimeters. (Soil Survey of Spink County, South Dakota; by James B. Millar, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
The Aberdeen series consists of very deep, moderately well drained soils formed in glacial lacustrine sediments on lake plains. Permeability is slow in the solum and moderate to slow in the underlying material. Slopes range from 0 to 2 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 19 inches, and mean annual air temperature is about 43 degrees F.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine, smectitic, frigid Glossic Natrudolls
The depth to carbonates ranges from 16 to about 40 inches. Depth to accumulated salts is typically greater than 20 inches.
USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas are cropped to small grains, sunflowers, and alfalfa. Native vegetation includes western wheatgrass, green needlegrass, little bluestem, big bluestem, sideoats grama, blue grama, porcupinegrass, needleandthread, sedges, and forbs.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Northeastern South Dakota and eastern North Dakota. The series is of moderate extent.
Utata Iron Photographer 96, to include something sharp, something hinged and vivid colour. I really, really wanted to photograph the hinges on this old chest which I use as a sewing chest. Hinge design was very different then.
A stitch in time saves ..... my 365!! I was struggling to come up with an idea for today until my wife stitched something for baby Joshua!!
Black-and-White ~ 365 ....
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
This is what happens when I'm stuck in the house all day cause of ice :P. Schools the Dallas/Fort Worth area are mostly closed today and tomorrow so, I'm stuck, in my house, for two days! :P Anyways, this was an... interesting photoshoot. The title comes from Palm Readings or whatever. The different meanings of the lines on your hand, the stitching being on the mind line. Trying some new ideas in terms of photography, concepts and lighting. We'll see what happens. I absolutely hate needles, but only when other people have them, when I have control of the situation, I'm all good :) I'm rambling now, so I'll stop. I want your thoughts on this, so what do you think?
The soils in the foreground are dominantly in the Winona series. The Winona series consists of very shallow and shallow, well drained soils that formed in eolian deposits over alluvium from limestone and calcareous sandstone. Winona soils are on plateaus and hills and have slopes of 0 to 70 percent. The mean annual precipitation is about 11 inches and the mean annual air temperature is about 52 degrees F.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Loamy-skeletal, carbonatic, mesic Lithic Ustic Haplocalcids
USE AND VEGETATION: These soils are used for livestock grazing and wildlife habitat. Vegetation is blue grama, black grama, needleandthread, galleta, sand and spike dropseed, hairy grama, muttongrass, bottlebrush, squirreltail, alkali sacaton, winterfat, bigelow sage, fourwing saltbush, cliffrose, juniper and pinyon pine.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Northern Arizona and west central New Mexico.

Soils in the mid-ground are typically Lithic Ustic Torriorthents. Lithic Ustic Torriorthents have more available moisture than Lithic Torriorthents during summer or, if located in the Tropics, during the rainy seasons. They are moist in some or all parts of the moisture control section for more than one-fourth of the time (cumulative) when the soil temperature at a depth of 50 cm exceeds 5 oC. They have a shallow or very shallow lithic contact, which limits the moisture-storage capacity. Consequently, the soils commonly are associated with the Ustalfs and Ustolls on more stable surfaces. Lithic Ustic Torriorthents are of moderate extent in the United States. They are used mostly for winter or spring grazing.
Torriorthents are the dry Orthents of cool to hot, arid regions. They have an aridic (or torric) moisture regime and a temperature regime warmer than cryic. Generally, they are neutral or calcareous and are on moderate to very steep slopes. A few are on gentle slopes. Many of the gently sloping soils are on rock pediments, are very shallow, have a sandy-skeletal particle-size class, or are salty. Others are on fans where sediments are recent but have little organic carbon. The vegetation on Torriorthents commonly is sparse and consists mostly of xerophytic shrubs and ephemeral grasses and forbs. They are extensive in the Western United States.

In the background is Humphreys Peak, the highest point in Arizona at 12,633 feet and one of the most scenic viewpoints in the San Francisco Peaks. On clear days hikers can see the Grand Canyon from the summit. The alpine forest trail is located just north of Flagstaff. This is a strenuous rocky trail with over 3,000 feet elevation gain. Humphreys Trail is open year round but snow can make the hike difficult during the winter months. Humphrey's Peak is a 9.2 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Flagstaff, Arizona that features beautiful wild flowers and is only recommended for very experienced adventurers. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round.
Loving the yarn still. After a couple years of this, I think I'm pretty happy with this body of work. Still so much to discover, to see what I an achieve. : ) Big fat embroidery. xo

The Chama series consists of well drained soils formed in materials weathered from soft siltstone, mudstone and shale on uplands. These soils are moderately deep to soft siltstone, mudstone or shale. These soils are moderately or moderately slowly permeable. Slope ranges from 0 to 45 percent. Mean annual air temperature is 42 degrees F, and mean annual precipitation is 15 inches.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-silty, mixed, superactive, frigid Typic Calciustolls
Depth to soft bedrock ranges from 20 to 40 inches. The mollic epipedon ranges from 7 to 10 inches thick.
USE AND VEGETATION: Soils are cropped to small grains, which are mostly wheat; a significant acreage is in rangeland. The native vegetation is principally western wheatgrass, needleandthread and blue grama.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Western North Dakota, eastern Montana, and possibly northwestern South Dakota. The series is of large extent.
