Fairy shrimp and mosquito larvae swim in a vernal pool at Forest Pools Preserve, adjacent to Kings Gap State Park in Cumberland County, Pa., on March 25, 2016. Because vernal pools, or seasonal wetlands, dry up every year, they don't harbor fish and thus are critical habitat for many amphibian species. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

11/7/13. Sunrise shoot at Mo'omomi Preserve (Nature Conservancy) on the north side of the island. I wandered far down the beach and managed to miss both the sunrise proper and the fabulous cliffs that everybody else took pictures of. But I still had a wonderful time. I'm pretty good company, when it comes down to it.

Location: The Green Swamp near Wilmington, North Carolina
Instead of heading west to the Rockies, we decided to check out Horseshoe Canyon Conservancy area for a little hike. Descending into the canyon, we did a tiny bit of elevation, and the landforms were wonderful. Recommended for an interesting short walk.

A pathway at Bear Rocks Preserve in West Virginia. This was one of many rock pathways that led to the overlook of mountain ranges. You can only see half of the trees here as the wind is so harsh, it blows the leaves and branches off of one side.

This area of Fall Creek is filled with potholes. The water was high making it difficult to hike around as some of the potholes are up to 3 or 4 feet deep.

The Oklahoma State Highest Point, Black Mesa
I am told it is a male collared lizard, Crotaphytus collaris
The collared lizard is the state reptile of Oklahoma, where it is known as the Mountain Boomer.
Black Mesa is the highest point in Oklahoma at 4,975 feet above sea-level. Black Mesa is located in Oklahoma's panhandle along the tri-state border with Colorado and New Mexico. It is named from the layer of black lava rock that coated the mesa about 30 million years ago. Igneous rocks are much more durable and erosion-resistant than the sedimentary rocks that they overlay; thus, the borders of the lava flow form a sort of cap that prevents the rock beneath them from being eroded as quickly as the rock immediately next to the flow's boundary. This type of process is what formed Black Mesa. Mesa comes from Spanish and Portuguese meaning "table" or "table mountain".

This is the Learning Center at the Apalachicola Bluffs & Ravines Preserve. It was our 'base' for the week. It had a large meeting room, a full kitchen, and three bathrooms with sinks/toilets. For showering, we had a choice of outdoor showers (they were very nice!) or an indoor shower in the bathroom used by local prison inmates who also work on the preserve. The showers all had hot water, too! The only downside was that the preserve's water smells heavily of sulfur. It was tough to drink and smelled awful for bathing.
