John Day Fossil Beds National Monument,Oregon.
The black soil is lignite that was vegetative matter that grew along the floodplain. The grey coloring is mudstone, siltstone, and shale.The red coloring is laterite soil that formed by floodplain deposits when the area was warm and humid. An abundance of fossil remains of early horses, camels, and rhinoceroses in the Painted Hills unit makes the area particularly important to vertebrate paleontologists. (Wikipedia)

My 54 year old paint kettle. Many colours have dribbled over the edge, these days, mostly white.

The Painted Hills are one of three units of the John Day Fossil Beds National Historic Monument in Oregon. The Painted Hills Unit is named for colorful volcanic layers present in the area.
Happy Bench Monday!
Much better than having empty windows in the middle of your town or city, is to have some sort of decoration, information or painting to make it look a bit better. This is in the middle of York and is a view of York Minster.
Monet would like this shot!

These two images from last month’s trip to the Painted Hills are taken from almost directly opposing viewpoints looking down at the same area. Each layer of color represents a different time in the long wet history of what is now a very arid landscape.
Sometimes I wonder why I carry around all my heavy and expensive camera equipment when I have an iPhone.
Happy Birthday Dear Mum, although we are oceans apart you remain very close to my heart.

Painted Lady - Vanessa cardui
The Painted Lady is a long-distance migrant, which causes the most spectacular butterfly migrations observed in Britain and Ireland.
Each year, it spreads northwards from the desert fringes of North Africa, the Middle East, and central Asia, recolonising mainland Europe and reaching Britain and Ireland. In some years it is an abundant butterfly, frequenting gardens and other flowery places in late summer.
Painted lady butterflies have a pale buffy-orange background colour to the upper wings. The forewings have black tips marked with white spots; the hindwings have rows of black spots. The undersides are pale with blue eyespots.
Painted ladies do not hibernate in Britain; instead they migrate to and from northern Africa. They can arrive in early spring, but late May and June are more usual. They are fairly common across Britain, numerous in some years.
Females lay their small, green eggs on a range of species, such as nettles and mallows, but thistles are the general favourite. When the caterpillars hatch they begin to eat the underside of the leaf. As they grow, each constructs a tent of folded leaves fastened with silk.
Caterpillars pupate and remain suspended in a large tent of leaves until the adults emerge in August and September. The whole British population dies or emigrates to Africa in the autumn.
Caterpillars are black, speckled with tiny white spots and have a yellow stripe down each side. They are covered in spines.
From the cold winter of the last photo to the hot summer: thermal features of Yellowstone
"The Lower Geyser Basin is the largest geyser basin in area, in Yellowstone National Park. It covers approximately 11 square miles. By comparison, the Upper Geyser Basin only covers about one square mile. Because of its large size, the thermal features in the Lower Geyser Basin tend to be clumped in widely spaced groups. The easiest grouping to get to and probably the most interesting to explore is the Fountain Paint Pot area."
