I'm going through my collections at the moment including Harry's and my rock collections. Harry had an old school case full of rocks he collected in Central Australia during a school excursion many years ago and I have collected some interesting rocks over the years too. I have culled the excess ones and here are some of what is left. The smaller ones are in an old antique box I own.
I know what some are but many I don't. If anyone knows, I am happy for them to make notes.
Central Oregon is a geographic region in the U.S. state of Oregon and is traditionally considered to be made up of Deschutes, Jefferson, and Crook counties. Other definitions include larger areas, often encompassing areas to the north towards the Columbia River, eastward towards Burns, or south towards Klamath Falls. These three counties have a combined population of 153,558 as of the 2000 census, with Deschutes the largest of the three counties, having approximately four times the population of the other two counties combined. As of 2008, the most populous city in the region is Bend, with an estimated 80,995 residents.[1] As defined by the three county definition, Central Oregon covers 7,833 square miles (20,290 km2) of land.
The region is located in the middle of the state with the Cascade Range to the west dividing the state from north to south, and the smaller Ochoco Mountains to the east. Portions of the region are part of a basalt plateau formed by the Columbia River Basalt Group, others are part of the slopes of the Cascades, and others part of the Basin and Range. The climate of the area is primarily arid due to the rain shadow effect of the Cascades on the western boundary of the region. Outdoor recreational activities, timber, and ranching are the primary economic activities.
Dillon Falls is the second of three major waterfalls along the Deschutes River near Bend. Like nearby Lava Island Falls, Dillon Falls hasn’t been widely documented or publicized because it is quite difficult to see the majority of the falls. Trails, however, provide much better views of Dillon Falls – enough so that a proper rating can be achieved. Now, the make up of the falls could be in dispute, depending on whom you ask. The falls are said to drop 65 feet over 1/3 of a mile of run, but that stretches the concept of a waterfall pretty thin. There is a substantial 15-foot drop at the top of the falls, followed by a long series of violent rapids. The book A Waterfall Lover’s Guide to the Pacific Northwest calls the whole thing 40 to 60 feet tall, and, depending on the edition, gives it as many as four (of five) stars. I say it’s a 15-foot waterfall followed by a long series of violent rapids.
Smith Rock State Park is a state park located in central Oregon's high desert near the towns of Redmond and Terrebonne. Its sheer cliffs of tuff and basalt are ideal for rock climbing of all difficulty levels. Smith Rock is generally considered the birthplace of modern American sport climbing, and is host to cutting-edge climbing routes.
In addition to the world-famous rock climbing, Smith Rock State Park is host to many miles of hiking trails, the meandering Crooked River and views of the volcanic peaks of Oregon's Cascade Range. Much of the 1994 film adaptation of the 1976 book Even Cowgirls Get The Blues was filmed within view of Smith Rock. Partial filming for the 1997 feature The Postman took place on location, while it additionally appeared in Swordfish in following years. Several westerns have been filmed here, including the John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn film Rooster Cogburn. The Rockhard building at the park entrance was built as a movie set for this film, portrayed as "Kates Saloon".

Popular with hikers and climbers, Pilot Rock stands out as one of the most striking features of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. The remnant of an ancient volcano, Pilot Rock is visible from much of the Shasta Valley in northern California and parts the Rogue Valley in southern Oregon. Over time, the exterior volcano eroded away, leaving behind the impressive columnar basalt of the ancient volcano's central vent. Fossil sites in the vicinity of Pilot Rock contain leaf impressions and conifer cones that became embedded in volcanic ash beds 25 to 35 million years ago.
The south face of Pilot Rock provides some of the best technical climbing opportunities in southwestern Oregon. Seven technical routes exist on Pilot Rock. To date, four of the routes have conservatively placed fixed anchors. To protect peregrine falcons and their nesting productivity at Pilot Rock, the south and east sides of Pilot Rock are subject to seasonal closures from February 1 to July 30 each year. These seasonal climbing restrictions may be lifted if the BLM determines that peregrine falcons are not nesting or confirms that their young have fledged and moved far enough away from the rock face to avoid disturbance by climbers.
Please note, new fixed anchors cannot be placed without prior BLM authorization.

Not originally planned but added by the captain due to missing out on a stop at the Faroe Islands, was a round trip of Bass Rock off Dunbar, Scotland. Highlight of the day was brilliant. 60,000 gannets on this island at times apparently.
A unha de hoje tá bem musical =)
Faz tempo que eu queria usar essa combinação de preto e dourado com filha única, e como por motivos de força maior tive que cortar as unhas, acabei colocando em prática a vontade! O adesivo foi presente da minha mãe, que adorei!

This is the first time I use my ND110 filter and I can only say that I LOVED IT!!!
I was just doing a short hiking along the lake to see how my knees are recovered, then I saw this rock in the middle of the lake. I ran back to my car and grabbed all my gear and then ran to the lake again. I took several shots around this rock and this one turned out to be the best of them. I'm surprised by how well this filter works. It's so dark that I can only lock the focus before putting on the filter, and I loved it because this is exactly what I wanted! I'm sure this filter will be one of my favorite toy this summer... =)

Black-spotted Rock Frog (Staurois natator) - Danum Valley, Malaysia
A diurnal frog, mostly active during the day, but they were also common at night when I would usually see them perched on vegetation overhanging streams or on rocks among rapids.

Red Rock Canyon State Park features scenic desert cliffs, buttes and spectacular rock formations. The park is located where the southernmost tip of the Sierra Nevada converge with the El Paso Mountains. Each tributary canyon is unique, with vivid colors. After wet winters, the park's floral displays are notable. Wildlife includes roadrunners, hawks, lizards, mice and squirrels. Red Rock Canyon is an approximately 27,000 acres unit within the Mojave Sector of the Tehachapi District of the California State Park System, located along State Highway 14 in Kern County. Red Rock Canyon provides magnificent views of the pristine desert landscape, includes two natural preserves, and offers, among other recreation activities, camping, sightseeing, equestrian activities, hiking, and opportunities for reflection and solitude. -Wikipedia
In the winter, the eastern side of the Catskills looks like it was stacked one layer on top of the other like a 3D topo map. This is one of the rock ledges ringing the slope that creates that appearance.
Anthus petrosus
Britain's 12,000 or so miles of coastline support some of our greatest wildlife spectacles,including vast and noisy colonies of breeding seabirds.
Yet one coastal bird is often overlooked. Neither as comical as a puffin, nor as majestic as a gannet, as graceful as a tern or as noisy as a gull, the humble rock pipit is, in some ways, the quintessential "little brown job". Yet if you take a closer look, its habits and appearance make the effort well worthwhile.
