Study two from a dreary day's walk on the dam creating Longview Lake. A little photoshop to enhance the colors/ tones a bit, but basically what I saw.
Der Gewöhnliche Löwenzahn (Taraxacum sect. Ruderalia) stellt eine Gruppe sehr ähnlicher und nah verwandter Pflanzenarten in der Gattung Löwenzahn (Taraxacum) aus der Familie der Korbblütler (Asteraceae) dar. Meist werden diese Pflanzen einfach als Löwenzahn bezeichnet, wodurch Verwechslungsgefahr mit der Gattung Löwenzahn (Leontodon) besteht.

This is my first attempt to shoot water flow in slow shutter speed, I know there is a big scope of improvement, Still posting it,
Please share your comments for improvement.

Walking on the lava flow. Much of which is obsidian.
Newberry National Volcanic Monument was designated on November 5, 1990 to protect the area around the Newberry Volcano in the United States. It was created within the boundaries of the Deschutes National Forest and is managed by the U.S. Forest Service. It includes 50,000 acres (20,000 ha) of lakes, lava flows, and spectacular geologic features in central Oregon. These photos are taken from the summit Paulina Peak 7,985 ft, (2,434 m). Just below us are East Lake and Paulina Lake and The Big Obsidian Flow, created 1,300 years ago, covers 700 acres. It is hard to fathom as you drive through the summit area that you are within a 17 square mile caldera at the summit of a 500 square mile volcano, a volcano that remains very active to this day. Newberry is both seismically and geothermally active. Geologists believe the caldera sits over a shallow magma body only 2 to 5 kilometers deep. Visitors see numerous cinder cones (over 400 throughout the area), miles of basalt flows, as well as rhyolite flows of obsidian.
P&J Ranches Producer Steve Burke (black baseball cap) and other landowners use water from the Ruby Reservoir at the base of the Ruby Mountains where water flows along the West Bench Canal, just above the mountain base, above the farmlands; along the way, improved U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) funded control valves allow water through debris grates and additional (self-cleaning) rotating cylindrical algae filter screens before entering inlets to funded Irrigation Water Management systems and into the (gravity-flow) Irrigation Pipeline that supplies five center-pivot and one wheel-line Sprinkler System without the use of pumps in Sheridan, MT, on August 28, 2019. The elevation drop from the canal to the sprinklers provides the needed water pressure to efficiently spray water out of the hanging sprinkler nozzles and the gun sprinklers with a rocker-arm drive. This improved water availability, reduced irrigation labor, reduced runoff and erosion, reduced water use, increased yield, cut costs.
Mr. Burke worked with Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) District Conservationist John Wagoner (tan baseball cap and sunglasses) and NRCS Soil Conservation Technician Clayton Marxer (straw cowboy hat).
The irrigation sprinklers systems are fully controlled and monitored from his smartphone connected to the local rural broadband network.
To check the soil health, Mr. Burke uses a hand auger to drill into the soil and pull out samples from his crops.
At this time, he is busy operating a combine to harvest the wheat from the fields. Then his son Steve Burke, Jr., uses stacker equipment to collect the big straw bales quickly.

Irrigation System Sprinkler System (Practice Code 442) is an irrigation system in which all necessary equipment and facilities are installed for efficiently applying water by means of nozzles operated under pressure. for more information, please see nrcs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb1046885.pdf
Irrigation Pipeline (Practice Code 430) is an irrigation pipeline and its appurtenances that are installed as part of an irrigation system to convey water for storage or application. For more information, please see nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/national/water/?cid=nrcs144p2_027153
Irrigation Water Management (Practice Code 449) Irrigation water management is the process of determining and controlling the volume, frequency, and application rate of irrigation water in a planned, efficient manner.
