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.

I visited the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve north of Pawhuska Oklahoma on the annual buffalo roundup. I decided to combine a few of the images of the bison into both a time lapse and photo montage along with a few of the key points I learned during the day.
The Tallgrass prairie preserve is owned and managed by the Nature Conservancy. More information: www.nature.org/wherewework/northamerica/states/oklahoma/p...
According the Nature Conservancy, the Blowing Rocks Preserve has the largest outcropping of Anastasia limestone on the Atlantic Coast of the United States. The area is known as "Blowing Rocks" because waves during high tides, or during storms, rolling against the sraggy shoreline, sends fountains of foaming sea water as much as 50 feet into the air. The Anastasia limestone formations are composed of ancient shell material. Small fossils of clams and oysters are clearly visible in the rock faces.
In 2012, Hurricane Sandy rearranged the shoreline. To view a 2014 photograph of the area go to: www.flickr.com/photos/23711298@N07/12859300504/

Ok -- here is a straight on shot. This is a pretty large cascade -- this is actually a stitch of 4 frames...

Managed by the Nature Conservancy, this 1,600-acre nature preserve is located in Preston County, West Virginia and Garrett County, Maryland. From the Nature Conservancy site - "A window into ice ages past, Cranesville Swamp is located in a "frost pocket," an area where the surrounding hills capture moisture and cold air that conspire to create a landscape more reminiscent of habitat found much further north in Canada. Given Cranesville Swamp’s lush forest and wetland, it’s not surprising that it is home to an exceptional variety of animals. In total, more than 50 rare plants and animals live at Cranesville." Did not see a ton of birds, mostly they were high up in the trees - along with the squirrels. But I did see a hairy woodpecker and a few butterflies. Still, it was a nice day to be in the preserve on my visit, Thursday August 10th, 2017.
