Small slot canyon, located along the White Domes trail in Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada
A slot canyon begins as a hairline crack in rock, which is beaten upon by rapidly flowing water until it becomes larger; finally over a vast period of time and a multitude of flash floods have eroded the rock, it forms a narrow crevice. The final result is a hiker and photographers paradise of almost claustrophobic caverns, twisting and turning, often allowing only a glitter of glowing light into its depths. Wind, water and time carve lines on the walls of some slot canyons where flowing patterns run fluidly like the wind that help make them. An irregularity can cause water to swirl forming a hollow, then another and another until the canyon is a series of walls and hollows. (source: www.zionnational-park.com/slots.htm )

Not sure what the name of this wildflower is. It grows all over our woods and is tiny - about 1 cm across. Always fascinated by the detail of flowers in closeup!
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, fave and comment. Really appreciate it when there are so many beautiful photos out there.
This is photo 4 in a set of 4 nearly identical scenes in which the rapidly moving clouds provided an ever changing illumination pattern. It was quite spectacular to watch it unfold. The scene is of the Painted Hills in the John Day Fossil Beds.
Sunny days create interesting shadows along the riverfront. This one was created by a railing next to a bend in the Sheboygan River.
