These are a distinctive feature of the sandstone geology at Garden of the Gods State Park. The dark bands hold concentrations of iron, which make those area harder and less susceptible to erosion.

The Banded demoiselle is one of the largest damselflies in the UK. It can usually be found flitting around vegetation of slow running streams, rivers, canals and ponds with muddy bottoms. The larvae live underwater amongst roots and vegetation for around two years until its emergence. They are quite vulnerable to water polution so their presence is usually a good indicator of water quality. Info: TVERC.

Another from a road trip around some of Utah a few years ago. The power of Geology in full flow with these different coloured layers of rock. Some of the most impressive scenery I've been lucky to see during my time on this sometimes crazy sphere.
There is a fruiting fig tree at Eco Lake and it attracts all the birds from the vicinity to congregate there especially for their morning feed. Others have spotted a pair of Flameback woody.
There are Starlings, Green pigeon, Black Nape Oriel etc.
Was lucky this Banded Woody flew down from way up the tree to eye level around 15 ft away. Pure luck.
I love both my Sony & Oly system. Both have their strengths and weakness and have finally decided that I am keeping both. So I have them in the boot of the car.
Thank you my friends for popping by.
I really appreciate your visits, comments & favourites.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a Happy Weekend
Thank you

Another beautiful butterfly at the Wings of Fancy at Brookside Gardens.
Taken 4 May 2016 at Brookside Gardens, Maryland.
The banded garden spider is a large species, with a generally ovoid form and bright markings. Mature females may be 13-14.5 mm when fully extended and the carapace of the body typically between 5-6.5 mm in length. Males are substantially smaller, with a body length of only about 1/3 that of the female. Adult males also have prominently enlarged pedipalps projecting from the side of the head and these are used in sperm transfer.
The back of the spider is covered with silvery setae. Numerous dark lines cross the body and yellow banding is usually present as well. The legs are dark yellowish-brown with darker rings.
