One of the "toadstools" at the Toadstool State Geologic Park in northwest Nebraska. Beautiful day for taking pictures!
This trip had me aware of shape and form in rock sculpture. Taken at the Toadstools, I found this formation amusing. I see a duck or a chicken.
My creations for the toadstool swap. I made a big yo-yo for the top and, as my partner Lindsey pointed out, a hula skirt-like tuft of grass on the bottom to make sure it would stand up. I felt like my toadie was sort of lame compared to the one I received (yes, I was late sending mine!) so I made a little doll quilt for one of Lindsey's silly girls.
This is the oldest photo in my photostream that was actually taken by me (with Kiev 4A, '78), in summer 2000 or 2001. I love heather, maybe partly because it's so frequently mentioned in Tolkien's work. He used to be my hero back in the days when I was about 15. Speaking about heather and Tolkien, I'll probably never forget this one from "The Hobbit" (I think that's the only one I still know by heart):
sing all ye joyful, now sing all together!
the wind's in the tree-top, the wind's in the heather;
the stars are in blossom, the moon is in flower,
and bright are the windows of night in her tower.

Fungi erupt under an overhanging shrub.
Sorry, don't know what kind they are. Any experts out there?
Seen on the roadside at the northen end of Elan Valley, Wales. Off-camera SB900 flash connected with cable to provide some light to the underside.

I found these growing at the base of a tree. Had to use a bit of flash as it was rather dark where they were. I have no idea what their name is.
We decided to forego a second sunrise at Bryce Canyon on day 3 of our trip, instead making the trip to Page, AZ early and catching the Toadstool Hoodoo in good light.
We were lucky that the temperature was perfect and the lighting conditions were favorable. Nice blue skies with whispy clouds to the west and haze off to the east to diffuse some of the harsh shadows a little bit.
It was a very nice hike and a beautiful place to shoot.
