All the sunshine we've had in the last week or so has really brought the garden to life after the weeks of rain. This little alpine is in the rockery.

EXPLORE #236, 30 May 2012.
An iconic piece of rock in Bonne Bay as you look out from Norris Point. Geologists say this was once seabed, with the layers visible in the rock, that got pushed up and tilted by the earth's movement (probably the collision of the continental plates?)
The rock from which the Eagle Rock district of Los Angeles got its name. It looks like there's an eagle in flight at the top of it.
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.

f/22, 1.3s (median), 18mm
This shot is diferent from the last few, because I used the details enhancer while tonemapping, to give a more 'interesting' look. I positioned the camera so that the sun was actually behind the rocks so that the photo had a almost backlit feel to it. Today I start work animating for the film again!

White Rock Hospital
Driving through the Laurel Country, you may catch a glimpse of an imposing structure that is falling into ruins. The White Rock Hospital holds a place in the history of the county in the early 1900s. From 1919 to 1932, Madison County’s first (and only) hospital was maintained and operated by the Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church, USA. The hospital owed its establishment to Frances Goodrich, a Presbyterian Missionary worker, who came to the Laurel area in the late 1800s. While working on education and preserving craft, she realized the need for medical care. The challenge of attracting a physician to this remote area was finally met when her story reached Dr. George Packard in Massachusetts. His wife had been a missionary and so Dr. Packard was familiar with mission work. The Packards moved to the area but first had to win the confidence of the local people. When a leading community member, James Jimmerson Tweed lay dying, Dr. Packard operated on him on a dining table and saved his life. That act would lead not only to the respect of the people but also to the needed contribution of the land from a grateful Jimmerson Tweed to build White Rock Hospital. The money to build it was raised by Goodrich and Packard who had been given permission to do so by the Presbyterian Home Mission Board.
At a cost of $75,000, the 20-bed hospital opened in 1919 equipped with complete operating and clinical facilities as well as a ward for children and adults and an isolation and orthopedic area. The water was supplied by a large spring on the top of the mountain above the hospital. And, as evidence of the support of the community, the local people furnished the 1000 feet of water pipe needed. Dr. Packard was the first physician and hospital superintendent. The need for medical care was supported by the statistics of the number of people treated until the hospital closed in 1932. In 1928, care was provided to 2707 patients and that number doubled in 1928.Dr. Packard was succeeded by Dr. Eve Locke who organized a preventive and corrective public health program for the entire county. When the Presbyterian Church ended its sponsorship in 1932 because of inadequate funding, the hospital had to close its doors.

My mother prized this rock which is actually a piece of England. Even though she lived in Canada for 50 years, she still missed Yorkshire.
"Andesite and diorite brecciate each other, and sharp contacts can be seen between two, or even three or four, dioritic facies, as more acidic facies are usually lighter in color. Usually more acidic facies include blocks of more basic diorite, but the more basic varieties may also include lighter types." D,H. Eggler, 1968.

HOORAY ! I just discovered in the 'future preview' of Flickr's new page that there is a very simple click to see anything, anything on black!. Upper right corner of the main image - there is newer and older. between them a plus sign. It puts it on black. Great. At last.
Please see this on black. Its nicer by far.
one of my favorites in the UP... unfortunately it was the dry season...

Enchanted Rock is a huge, pink granite exfoliation dome that rises 425 feet above ground, 1825 feet above sea level, and covers 640 acres. It is one of the largest batholiths (underground rock formation uncovered by erosion) in the United States. The area became a state park in 1984, but humans have visited here for over 11,000 years.

This rock shelter provides some good protection from the elements (unless they come from the West) along with great views.
My first stab at it - Lacks some of the delicacy I have seen in other Orton shots. I do like some of the blues in the leaves. I can instantly see tons of opportunities for other shots of mine. So many filters - so little time.
