There were literally thousands and thousands of these small pumice rocks on the canyon floor. You walked right over them.

Back Story ..................
Left at daybreak with dog food, medicine and camera gear.
Ride out and back was same same with no big drama issues !
Pulled into The Dog palace and guess what ? No Browns.
OK, so lets back up to yesterday, it rained all day with
thunder, lightning and big winds. I was down for the count
and didn't make it out to feed them.
So when I pulled in and The Browns weren't there that meant
simply go to plan B.
Grabbed the feed bags for The Leroy Crew and head out
through The DMZ. In short order Girl Friend and Tuff Guy
were being fed at their usual spot.
Circled around and was met by Honey who required her
usual quota of affection. Little princess and her sister also
needed some attention as they were quite excited to see
Mr FoToe Man as was their mom and grandma.
Two tourist mini vans pulled in and of course that was also documented shown here in this busy photo.
Notice Mr Tuff Guy right in the middle searching for handouts.
Even after being fed a large breakfast Girl Friend and Tuff Guy
are always eager for any extra sweets that come their way.
Tuff Guy loves to flirt with the pretty girls, it's a guy thing,right?
Time to return to The Dog Palace and find Mama & Mr Brown.
Went up on the roof and started whistling in all directions.
Didn't take long and I hear some noise approaching from my
six o'clock . Spun around just in time to side step Mama who
was running full blast and would have taken me out at the knees. Both of us scamper back down to their dinning area where breakfast was served.
Noticed Mama kept glancing back towards the rusty old gate in search of Mr Brown. And in due time Mr Blind Man Brown made his appearance. Cautiously he made his way up the stairs and with his nose working overtime found a food tray and started chowing down. Both dogs were given their medicines, it was documented in my journal with time and date.
30 minutes later we went over to visit Mr Kind Man Monk as shown in the next photo. I had brought some English material for him to study. That's right, I teach him a few words in English every time I see him. He in turn feeds The Browns some of the food he receives in his alms bowel. I also give him some special food and treats....;-)

Cerro Castolon
Big Bend National Park
West Texas
Cerro Castellan is a high stack of volcanic rocks, including ash, lava, and tuffaceous rocks. It is capped by a dense lava flow underlain by various tuffs and basalts. A northwest-trending fault cuts the eastern flank of Cerro Castellan. Though little vegetation grows on the sheer cliffs and steep, pointed profile of its peak, the lower slopes of Cerro Castellan support a sparse growth of Chihuahuan Desert scrub, including most prominently such characteristic species as creosote bush and ocotillo. The name Cerro Castellan seems to mean "castle-warden's hill," though the reasons for this name's adoption are obscure.
Vela draga o Draga di Vragna è un'ampia vallata alle falde nordoccidentali del Monte Maggiore, ben nota agli appassionati di montagna e agli amici della natura, ma ancor lontana e sconosciuta a molti.
Ai suoi limiti orientali si tuffa a capofitto sotto il viadotto adiacente all'entrata della galleria del Monte Maggiore, per poi scendere con una serpentina verso la Piana di Bogliuno. La Draga è dominata da enormi rocce, tra le quali spiccano due alte torri chiamate šoplja e čoplja, che fanno parte di un fenomeno carsico irripetibile, unico in Istria.

I tenaci vincoli della terra
d’un colpo ho reciso
e ho danzato lieto nell’aria
sopra ali d’argento.
Il cielo ho scalato,
di nuvole esplose
ho seguito il disegno impreciso
e ho fatto, contento,
cose che tu non puoi aver sognato:
tuffi, planate, giravolte,
ma lassù tutto è silenzio.
Ho spento i motori
e percorrendo spazi inviolati
di paradiso,
la mano ho messo fuori
e di Dio ho sfiorato il viso.
(John Gillespie Magee jr.).
