These are sprouts of one of the species I study -- American beech. The understory trees tend to keep their leaves all winter (though they've long since turned brown). Sometimes I think it adds some nice color to an otherwise monotonous winter forest.
On Explore/interestingness for March 18; highest position #143.

Panoramic view from the Harriet Hollister Spencer Memorial State Recreation Area. What a spectacular view of Honeoye Lake! The few boats that were out were easily visible from such a great vantage point.
The place is for sale. Don't know how much longer this wondrous field will yield the Zineas. It's quite a sight.
Soil profile: A representative soil profile of the Honeoye series; the State Soil of New York.
Landscape: Honeoye is one of the most productive soils in New York for growing corn and other crops. They are dominantly on gently undulating to rolling till plains. In some places they are on dissected side slopes of the upland plateau and in other areas they are on the top and upper side slopes of drumlins and convex ridges. Slope ranges from 0 to 65 percent. These soils formed in till of late Wisconsin age derived from limestone, dolomite, and calcareous shale, and from lesser amounts of sandstone and siltstone. These soils are mainly on the low plateau in the northern part of the Appalachian plateau, in the southern part of the Ontario Lowland and Mohawk Valley of New York.
The Honeoye soil series is shown on some of the earliest soil maps made in New York. It was established as a soil series in 1910, in a soil survey of Ontario County. Honeoye is designated as a Benchmark soil in recognition of its significance to soil science and the soil resource. The Honeoye series occurs only in New York State, making it a uniquely New York soil. Honeoye was unofficially chosen as the New York State soil in the mid 1980’s by a group of local, state, and federal soil experts. The word Honeoye is believed to have come from the Seneca word “Ha-ne-a-yeh” or “where the finger lies”. The soil was named after the hamlet of Honeoye, NY, one of the places where these soils are found.
The Honeoye series consists of very deep, well drained soils formed in loamy till. They are nearly level to very steep soils on till plains, hills, ridges, and drumlins. Slope ranges from 0 to 65 percent. Mean annual temperature is 8 degrees C. (46 degrees F.), and mean annual precipitation is 995 millimeters (39 in).
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, mixed, semiactive, mesic Glossic Hapludalfs
Thickness of the solum ranges from 51 to 81 cm (20 to 32 in). Depth to bedrock is more than 152 cm (60 in). Depth to carbonates ranges from 41 to 81 cm (16 to 32 in). Rock fragments are mainly gravel, cobbles, and channers of limestone and shale with lesser amounts of sandstone and siltstone. Rock fragment content in the solum ranges from 5 to 30 percent and includes up to 10 percent greater than 3 in in diameter. Rock fragment content in the C horizon ranges from 10 to 60 percent and includes up to 20 percent greater than 3 in in diameter. Rock fragments greater than 10 in in diameter cover 0 to 20 percent of the surface. Some pedons have a Cd or densic substratum that ranges from 51 to 97 cm (20 to 38 in).
USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas are used to raise vegetables, some fruit, wheat, corn, oats, hay, soybeans, and dry beans. Woodlots contain sugar maple, white ash, red and white oak, hickory, black cherry, hop hornbeam, and associated species.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Dominantly western and central New York, but extending from extreme western New York to the Hudson Valley in New York. MLRA 101 and 140. The series is of large extent.

Picked the right day to go to this special place up in the hills of the western Finger Lakes area. I didn't encounter 1 cloud coming or going. It was nice they seemed to want to tarry here.

This is pretty much your standard view of Honeoye Falls. Not the standard color.
I've about had it with mostly-icy waterfalls!! I thought this one would have been much more opened up.
Sits right next door to Family Dollar.
