We are experiencing a particularly hot summer this year. No wonder this Elkhorn Fern's outer fronds are dried and discolored.
Elkhorn ferns (also called Staghorn ferns) are ‘epiphyte’, meaning that they grow on tree branches and trunks naturally. They can grow fairly large, although they require at least 10 years to achieve their maximum size.
These plants make two types of fronds. The shield, or sterile fronds, wrap around the tree or rock on which the plant is growing. These shields usually form a basket which collects debris, providing a medium for root growth, and aiding in moisture collection and retention. The fertile, or normal fronds, grow out from the bud, and the spores are borne on these. Some species make fertile fronds much like the antler of a deer. Others are nearly round, or wedge shaped.
As these two were doing at Bryce Canyon National Park.
Every year, Bryce Canyon National Park awes visitors with spectacular geological formations and brilliant colors. The towering hoodoos, narrow fins, and natural bridges seem to deny all reason or explanation, leaving hikers gazing around with jaws agape in wondrous incredulity. This surreal landscape is what brings people from around the world to visit Bryce Canyon National Park.
How are those Hoodoos and fins formed? It starts with rainwater seeping into cracks in the rock. The water freezes during Bryce’s cold nights, expands and breaks apart the rock. The deep, narrow walls called “fins” result from rain and snowmelt running down the slopes from Bryce’s rim. Eventually the fins form holes (called windows), and when the windows grow larger they collapse and create the bizarre hoodoos that we see today.

More specifically demitasse* teaspoons. This hobby only came about as I also collect demitasse cups and saucers. This teaspoon was made by Reed and Barton a prominent American silversmith manufacturer. They were based in the city of Taunton, Massachusetts and operated between 1824 and 2015.
*A demitasse spoon is a diminutive spoon, smaller than a teaspoon.
HMM!

What to do when you have a lot of hay bales to collect up .. pile them up as high as they will go, put a few more on, then drive off, of course! A scene witnessed while relaxing on the balcony having lunch.

6’8d - six shillings and eightpence - was a third of the old pre decimal British pound. Twelve pennies in a shilling. Twenty shillings in a pound. It was all rather complicated but there were certain tricks to make multiplication and addition easier, which I’ve now forgotten. If we were to go back to that system, and nothing would surprise me now, a lot of people would have difficulty with it - there would have to be an app.
I remember 6’8d once being the price of a “single” vinyl record.
