East Nubble at sun down from the Pines Market in Eustis, Maine. #eastnubble #bigelowrange #pinesmarket #eustismaine #orcuttphotography #fallohotographyinmaine cynthia October 25, 2021 Uncategorized You Might Also Like Bobby Socks Trees, Yellowstone National Park. Several weeks ago we drove to Yellowstone for the weekend, and noticed these white bottom tree trunks. From Wikipedia we learned about the cause: “These are lodgepole pines that died by shifting hot spring run-off. By capillary action the trees soaked up mineral laden water, which colors their bases white and retards decay. Dissolved minerals in the water deposited a crust of white silica on the bottom of the dead trees and stumps. This silica, a non-crystalline compound, slowly impregnates the wood and over time, with the absence of oxygen, could eventually petrify the wood. These skeletons have stood here for decades.” #bobbysockstrees #yellowstonenationalpark #lodgepolepines May 9, 2024 View from our dining room table in Driggs, Idaho. Warm temps these days with snow quickly dissipating. Time to pump up tires and get the bikes rolling! #driggsidaho #bestofthegemstate #orcuttphotography #westsideoftetons March 30, 2022 We stopped in Lexington, NEB to stay at Mac’s Creek Brewery and Winery, a Harvest Host site. Beautiful vineyards and an informative walk on a mild early spring day. On our way now to experience the Sand Hill Crane migration at the Foundation in Wood River, NEB. #sandhillcranefoundation #mac’screekbreweryandwinery #centralnebraska #platteriver #lexingtonnebraska #sandhillcranes March 22, 2024
