I did the short hike into Reed’s Brook Falls just a few miles north of Kingfield, late this afternoon. The woods are wet and lush! #kingfieldmaine #reedsbrookfalls #franklincounty #summerinmaine cynthia July 13, 2024 Uncategorized You Might Also Like Arches made of elk antlers mark the entrances of the Town Square in Jackson, Wyoming. Most of the antlers came from the National Elk Refuge just to the north of town.

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
