Bedding world wide

Interesting how the Badgers on Winter Watch were moving old bedding out of the set and collecting new possibly for new arrival’s. Could this rabbit be doing the same is Spring on its way!
Looking down on the eastern edge of the lovely fishing village of Pittenweem from the Fife Coastal Path. The low tide allows a good view of the parallel rock beds which are a feature of this stretch of coast.
Petunias are one of our most popular summer bedding plants, flowering throughout summer until the first severe frosts of autumn. Their mass of flowers bring lots of great colour to gardens.
The kitties always love when we change the bedding each weekend, immediately laying on it when it’s done. Today it was especially nice with the sun coming in. They really know how to enjoy the simple things in life (which are often the best things)!

In geology, cross-bedding, also known as cross-stratification, is layering within a stratum and at an angle to the main bedding plane. The sedimentary structures which result are roughly horizontal units composed of inclined layers. The original depositional layering is tilted, such tilting not being the result of post-depositional deformation. Cross-beds or "sets" are the groups of inclined layers, which are known as cross-strata.
Cross-bedding forms during deposition on the inclined surfaces of bedforms such as ripples and dunes; it indicates that the depositional environment contained a flowing medium (typically water or wind). Examples of these bedforms are ripples, dunes, anti-dunes, sand waves, hummocks, bars, and delta slopes. Environments in which water movement is fast enough and deep enough to develop large-scale bed forms fall into three natural groupings: rivers, tide-dominated coastal and marine settings.

This slice of Navajo sandstone in Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument shows well at least six layers of cross bedding, where the layers are angled relative to the horizontal plane. These cross beds occur where sand has been blown by the wind across a sloped dune formation, resulting in a layer that is deposited at an angle different than the flat surface.
Navajo sandstone was deposited 200 million years ago when this area was a massive sand dune formation, larger than the current Sahara desert, with depoists as thick as 2400'/ 730 m.
The clifftop walk with your camera will certainly be a highlight of your travel in Ireland. And it is not just about the awesome scenery, but also it is about the birdlife roosting, nesting, and soaring. Add to that the history, O'Brien's Tower and the chowder at the local pubs.
On many occasions in my childhood, I had seen the Cliffs of Moher on calendars, and in magazines. This synthesised memory ensured that we spent sufficient time here to experience a range of emotions, and relive the past images.
A dusting of snow overnight highlights the bedding planes (the lines separating one layer of compressed rock from the next).
Obviously Paddy realsies that he should be going with the 'flow' of the strata. Behind looking back at the ridgeline we'd just traversed
I took a whole bunch of shots of the 6988 this weekend, but my favorite, by far is this shot of it laying over on the west side of downtown DSM on Sunday night. I had just finished up dinner at Fong's, and ran down here to get something a bit different, before retiring to the hotel for the evening.
Shoutout to the IAIS, and all of the volunteers who helped make this weekend's trips possible!
I made some bedding...

Many thanks as always to those who view and in particular take time to comment on, or fave my photos.

Barli Village, Rajasthan, India. Just before the sun goes down on another day, on the outskirts of the village, a woman returns with what looks like bedding for the animals!
