From my archived files and a different photo. A man burns herbs in a Celtic bowl on my visit to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Fair in 2018.
Smudging, or other rites involving the burning of sacred herbs (e.g., white sage) or resins, is a ceremony practiced by some Indigenous peoples of the Americas. While it bears some resemblance to other ceremonies and rituals involving smoke (e.g., Australian smoking ceremony, some types of saining) from other world cultures, notably those that use smoke for spiritual cleansing or blessing, the purposes and particulars of the ceremonies, and the substances used, can vary widely among tribes, bands, and nations, and even more so among different world cultures.

Taken at Nash Point at sea level. The tide was too far in to go for a walk so it was perch on the rocks for a sunset. The rock formations are fascinating at Nash Point but I feel that there is almost too much texture in this shot with the rocks and cloud formations! This is how it was that evening so thought I would upload it.

Happy Textural Tuesday ;o)
I've been shooting the Physalis whenever I can find some - exotic fruits don't come to the north of Scotland often ;o)
Also called the ground cherry, I love the contrasting textures - between the round 'cherry' and the delicate, dry papery husk that enclose the fruit. In fact the leaf-like husk is not quite as delicate at it looks!
From the Wiki
Physalis is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family (Solanaceae), which grow in warm temperate and subtropical regions of the world. Most of the species, of which there may be 75-90, are indigenous to the New World. A notable feature is the formation of a large papery husk derived from the calyx, which partly or fully encloses the fruit. The fruit is small and orange, similar in size, shape and structure to a small tomato.

Caliche, a type of sedimentary rock, forms when calcium carbonate precipitates in the soil, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. This formation process begins as rainwater infiltrates the soil, dissolving carbonate minerals present. As the water evaporates, these minerals precipitate, cementing particles such as sand, clay, and gravel to create a hard, durable layer.
In Ajuy, particularly near the Hornos de Cal, caliche is significantly prominent. These formations result from the interplay of local climatic and geological conditions. Despite its hardness, caliche is prone to erosion. Elements like wind, water, and human activity wear down these layers, forming unique patterns and textures and sometimes exposing softer soil underneath.
The caliche in Ajuy ranges in color from white to light brown, contrasting sharply with the dark basaltic rocks and black sands of the nearby beaches. These layers can also create microhabitats, providing shelter to small organisms and aiding in soil moisture retention, crucial in Fuerteventura's arid environment.
Erosion of the caliche near the path to the Cuevas de Ajuy, especially around the Hornos de Cal area, is a continuous process that enhances the unique landscape and reveals the area's rich geological history.

Versión en Español
El caliche es una roca sedimentaria que se forma por la precipitación de carbonato de calcio en el suelo, especialmente en regiones áridas y semiáridas. Este proceso comienza cuando el agua de lluvia se infiltra en el suelo y disuelve los minerales carbonatados presentes. A medida que el agua se evapora, los minerales se precipitan y cementan partículas como arena, arcilla y grava, creando una capa dura y resistente.
En Ajuy, cerca de los Hornos de Cal, el caliche se presenta de manera notable. Estas formaciones son resultado de la combinación de las condiciones climáticas y geológicas locales. A pesar de ser una roca dura, el caliche es susceptible a la erosión. Los agentes erosivos como el viento, el agua y la acción humana desgastan estas formaciones, creando patrones y texturas únicos y, en algunos casos, exponiendo secciones del suelo más blando.
El caliche en Ajuy varía en color desde el blanco al marrón claro, contrastando con las rocas basálticas oscuras y la arena negra de las playas cercanas. Estas capas de caliche también pueden servir como microhábitats, proporcionando refugio a pequeños organismos y ayudando a retener la humedad en el suelo, lo cual es crucial en el entorno árido de Fuerteventura.
La erosión del caliche cerca del sendero a las Cuevas de Ajuy, particularmente en la zona de los Hornos de Cal, es un proceso continuo que añade al paisaje su carácter único y revela la rica historia geológica de la región.
