Default Shots up in the Sleuce Box St Park

tree infected with pine beetles, we have wide spread problem and they are killing 1000's of acres of our forests.

I found this quite interesting, what will actually grow from rocks.

These are wonderful, Duane. I really love the second one, with the angle of the rock layers and the gorgeous colors. Just beautiful!

Wow, stunning colors there Duane. I agree too, amazing what will grow out of the side of a rock! I remember seeing things sticking out from the rocks in Sedona, bizarre!

I love this set Duane. Are the rocks naturally like that? We had a similar infestation around here, the beetles have devastated our forest.

Fred, yes the rocks are natural. There use to be a lot of mining in this area, it is very rich in minerals.

Hi Duane! Thanks for sharing those. They are interesting shots - I really like the contrast of the horizontal and vertical lines in the first one.
