Bigelow Range with Early Snow is a photo from a few years ago. We installed it yesterday in a residence in western Maine, along with several other large format prints. #bigelowmountainrange #earlysnow #westernmaine #orcuttphotography.com cynthia November 5, 2021 Uncategorized You Might Also Like Late evening light was spectacular looking east from our home in Driggs, Idaho.

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
