Took a road trip up north of us for a little day hiking. It was one of our few sunny days of late and there was a lot of color around the lake. We even spotted a flock of Cedar Waxwings picking berries off the trees! It certainly got crowded as the day wore on. Could be the last warm day we have for a while. Snow in the forecast!!!!!
Generally this was a bit of a disappointing day out. You can't get near the stones easily as they are in the middle of a corn field and the weather was just dull. I can't say that I really like any of the pics I took. The non-ir ones are even worse, just grey and uninspiring. At least you can usually extract a bit of sky from the ir ones.
For anybody who wants to know what a Devils Arrow is you should have a look at the previous picture, the links are on there.
Devils Tower National Monument
Wyoming
According to the Native American tribes of the Kiowa and Lakota, a group of girls went out to play and were spotted by several giant bears, who began to chase them. In an effort to escape the bears, the girls climbed atop a rock, fell to their knees, and prayed to the Great Spirit to save them. Hearing their prayers, the Great Spirit made the rock rise from the ground towards the heavens so that the bears could not reach the girls. The bears, in an effort to climb the rock, left deep claw marks in the sides, which had become too steep to climb. Those are the marks which appear today on the sides of Devils Tower. When the girls reached the sky, they were turned into the stars of the Pleiades.
In spite of being very busy with framing my upcoming show, I managed to process this guy from Devil's Churn.
Cape Perpetua really made an impression on me, when I visited it for the first time about a month ago. I feel like that in the few hours I was there I just scratched the surface of this fantastic section of coast.
Devil’s matchstick
(Cladonia floerkeana)
Also known as 'British soldier'.
A quirky lichen with red-capped branches (known as 'podetia'), this lichen usually grows between one and three centimetres in height.
Like all lichens, the Devil's matchstick is actually two organisms working together: a fungus and an algae in a symbiotic relationship.
Where to see it
Cladonia floerkeana has a fondness for dead wood so rotting logs and fence posts are a good place to start. It also grows on well drained soil with a high organic matter content such as that found on heath and moorland.
Distribution
This lichen is scattered throughout the UK, although more commonly found in the north and the west.
Did you know?
Lichens are very sensitive to air pollution: the more lichens you find in a place the cleaner the air!

This geological growth stands out abruptly in the middle of Mammoth Hot Spring's Palette Springs. Fascinating.....
Have a wonderful weekend, hopefully with some sun and warmth.
Thanks for taking a look!

One of the upper pools of water at Devil's Den. The water was refreshingly frigid to swim in after the hiking up there in the heat/humidity!
Devil's Island was notorious for being used for the internal exile of French political prisoners, with the most famous being Captain Alfred Dreyfus
