Flowers, etc.
|
|
|
I came across these small flowers one day on a walk in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Spring in nice there in early February. I wish I knew the names of them. The flowers in V were less than an eighth of an inch in diameter. The ones in U T and S were not much bigger.

Grinding Holes
|
|
Citizens of yesterday are said to have ground acrons in holes like these. I wish I could have wittnessed the activity and tasted the fruits of it.
I counted 43 holes in this site. Some were 6 to 7 inches in diameter by 10 inches deep. Others were just a small depression in the granite.

Granite Basins
|
|
Treking around granite outcrops, one comes upon small depressions in the rock. Some of these hold water, others are filled with dirt and in some cases grass or other plants, some are dry depending upon the last rain fall.
Under ideal conditions, water finds a small depression and dissolves a bit of the stone. Over thousands of years, more stone is dissolved until we walk along and see it.
This set shows a variety of these depressions.

Yesterday's views
|
|
The last photo, called "Fast - track", involves a frozen river in the north country upon which snow mobiles race to and fro. High above the winter sceen is a jet full of people likely on their way to Japan over the northern route.
At the moment of the photo, all is quiet where I stand.
