This little gem of a waterfalls is on the outskirts of Arkona, Ontario. A popular place for fossils and artifacts. No editing.
This image is from when I was walking along Low Hauxley. This was for my photography exam at A-level based on the word 'sublime'. Loved the strong reflection of the rock in the water.
I was surprised to be the only one in this location behind the bus garage as the CRSA special made its way across the curved bridge over the Rock River in downtown Janesville on 5-7-14. Most fans shot this train on its approach to the bridge, with Tom Williams getting a more broadside shot from the nearby bike path.
Rock is a coastal fishing village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is opposite Padstow on the northeast bank of the River Camel estuary. The village is in the civil parish of St Minver Lowlands about 4 miles (6.4 km) north west of Wadebridge.
The main residential area is set back from the coast along the road from Pityme and St Minver. To the northeast, Rock is contiguous with the settlements of Splatt and Pityme. Stoptide is a southern extension of Rock. Rock is best known for its estuary frontage. To the northwest, the road runs beside the estuary as a cul de sac giving access to the ferry boarding point and an intertidal beach backed by sand dunes which at low water extend for two miles past Brea Hill to Daymer Bay. To the south is the small coastal settlement of Porthilly with St Michael's Church situated on the bank of Porthilly Cove.

someone has painted rocks and put them around the area, but someone else is picking them up and taking them home. I miss them.
Series of five. Very windy day, with some sunny spells. I had already planned to visit the Cuckmere Haven hoping it was not too flooded. A small flock of Rock Pipits were foraging in the shallow pools and soggy grass and one found an earwig (when did you last see an earwig?) They always seem to find interesting food, last time it was a moth!
From the Spokane Spokesman-Review:
There are two kinds of water slides: the commercial ones with admission fees that can be found at swimming pools, amusement parks and theme parks; and natural rock water slides that only require a drive and a short hike.
We are lucky in the Inland Northwest to have abundant water, snowcapped mountains and clear, rushing streams. Occasionally stream water, the Rocky Mountains, geology and erosion make a perfect water slide. At Priest Lake, an ideal slide can be found in smooth rock at the perfect incline. The price of admission is a 1 ½-mile hike. There are no long lines to wait your turn. Some may fear sliding on hard rock and splashing in cold water, but watching the action is half the fun of this trip.
The slide has been used for years. It is believed that a logger found the slides and told a few local residents. Since then, through word of mouth, they have become quite popular. But the slides are hard to find without directions.
It is on Idaho Department of Lands property. There are no signs, and the road is fairly rough. There are speed bumps for erosion control, and a few spots where the road has gullies across it because of washouts. However, most cars, going slow, can drive over or around the obstacles.
To get to the slides drive to Priest River and turn north at the only traffic light, onto Highway 57. Don’t miss the turn to Coolin (about 22 miles) and don’t drive toward the towns of Priest Lake and Nordman. Take the right-hand turn toward Coolin for five miles. At Coolin, turn right again and follow the east shore drive for 20 miles to Priest Lake State Park’s Lion Head Campground.
Instead of turning left into the campground, turn right onto a gravel road (no sign). Drive five miles, staying left at forks in the road. There will be a sharp left-turn road but stay straight up the main road. The trail head has large rocks across the road. The trail is a continuation of the road up a fairly gentle incline for about 1 ½ miles. There, a pool has logs across its outlet that can be used as a bridge to reach the other side. Follow the trail to the slide area. The trail is passable and gets many visitors. The Department of Lands needs to improve the trail as well as the gravel road.
The Department of Lands is responsible for most of the terrain on the east side of Priest Lake, from the shoreline to the top of the eastern mountains, including the road and trail to the water slides.
The department isn’t prepared to deal with a recreational site; administratively and financially, their priorities are the state’s timber, fire control, erosion control and other land use functions.
Consequently, if they want to maintain a road and trail, put signs up, or clean up trash that careless visitors leave behind, the money must come from one of their other main concerns. In spite of these obstacles and a tough state budget, there is a plan to grade the road to the water slides in the next two years. Also, the boulders at the trail head will be removed.
Right now the department would prefer that no one went up to the slides. In reality, on a warm day, 30 or more people will be watching or sliding at the site. The area along the gravel road has several primitive campsites that are regularly trashed. People who go to the slides are asked to pack their trash out.
The slides, which run about 100 feet, can be approached along the sides so that newcomers don’t have to start sliding at the top. A plastic garbage bag is recommended to protect the rear end and makes for a smoother, faster ride. Footwear is suggested but not required.
Also, follow the trail for a short distance along the creek above the slides to a long waterfall. It is worth the effort and the falls is a shady place to eat your packed lunch.
Finally, a note of caution: every year one or two people break a bone while sliding. The worst time to slide is during the spring runoff. Most of the injuries occur in the spring because the water is flowing so fast that the natural basin that usually stops the sliders is overflowing and flushes them over the top and into some rocks below. Using common sense, keeping control and staying in the middle of the slide will make this a safe, fun day outing.
Hanlon Creek Conservation Area on the south end of Guelph, Ontario. Apparently someone formerly created this rock pile while clearing the land for agriculture.
I'm sorting old photos and posting some interesting ones. This image was uploaded to Flickr on Oct. 17, 2021.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
Early June and a 2nd Week long trip to RSPB Bempton in East Yorkshire.
Day 5. Tuesday.
A Rock Dove flying along the slopes of RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
The Rock Dove is the wild ancestor of domestic pigeons the world over, domesticated originally to provide food. Feral Pigeons come in all shades, some bluer, others blacker - some are pale grey with darker chequered markings, others an unusual shade of dull brick-red or cinnamon-brown. Others can be more or less white while others look exactly like wild rock doves.
Rock River Falls........down some dirty/muddy two tracks, then a 1 mile hike that becomes a mucky mess. Thankfully their was some wood planks to get you there. If you are going to see this fall you might as well go down the two track to Silver Falls (aka Silver Bell Falls)
To me it just isn't spring until I've heard two or three of my favorite bird songs. The first being the Meadowlark and the second being the Canyon wren and the third being the Rock Wren. The wrens and the meadowlark occupy very different habitats that I like to wander in pursuit of wildlife and both have hauntingly beautiful songs that when combined with the sights and smells of spring, entice me to stay in the wild and return to the city no more. If only...
This past weekend I heard both rock wrens and canyon wrens in the canyons I visited. So I just need to get out and hear some meadowlarks now.
Here is a link to the songs of the wrens:

Rock pools are a very distinctive feature of the Sydney coastline; most of the headlands separating Sydney's beaches have one. This one is at South Curl Curl.
This little gem on the North Shore coastline can be found just south of Grand Portage at the Hollow Rock Resort. We stopped by as the sun was setting, only to be disappointed that the heavy cloud cover was preventing any direct light from hitting the rocky outcrop. I took a few shots, and then was rewarded as the clouds momentarily parted and the ice assumed a brilliant glow just before the sun dipped below the tree-lined horizon. The image was desaturated a bit to help convey the moodiness of the cloudy sky while accenting the ice covering the rock.
My son plays lead guitar in the school rock band.He is the one doing the scissor kick to pump up his band mates and the audience. I have to admit, I was on an emotional high seeing him rocking out. After the show, it continued as people went out of their way to congratulate him on his performance. Then he went off to the USA directly from the show to see Bruce Springsteen with one his teachers.
