Travel: Sheep Rock at John Day Fossil Beds National Monument 2024-10-24 - North-Central Oregon - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com. Robert writes, "One Park, John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, with three units: Clarno, Sheep Rock and Painted Hills. According to oregon.gov, the Monument is located in North-Central Oregon. Since these units are spread out and you have to drive to each one separately, and we had some time constraints, we eliminated the Clarno Unit. Our first unit was Sheep Rock, with plans to hike one of the trails. It was an easy, colorful hike with very small elevation gain (the kind we like). Right around the bend of this photo is the grand finale of the trail...photo 2." More photos from this trip coming this week. Click 'Read more' to see all photos posted so far.

Kentucky Color: Remembering 2024-10-24 - Great Wooded South - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. Billy Joe writes, "Autumn in all its glory brings to mind and heart, one particular annual conversation with Ed Waggener. We would speak to the absolute futility of capturing the glory and grandeur of a tree in a photograph. Ultimately however, we concluded that in spite of the failure to adequately represent the reality of nature in a two dimensional medium, we must keep trying. Well Ed, I'm still trying! Even though most Sassafras leaves tend toward hues of orange, this one in late afternoon cloud shaded lighting is a beautiful red. The mingled orange and green of a Sugar maple nestled beneath the Sassafras bridge on the left, the velvety green of the Red cedar on the right and the green of the stately Scaly bark hickory above, tend to somewhat contribute to a three dimensional structure. Also, if you peer through the Sassafras leaves you can see the scaly, shaggy bark on the hickory trunk." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
