Rocks along the Trail964 viewsI like rocks. I think I'd like to be a geologist when I grow up.

A Geological Potpourri916 viewsThe color bands and splotches seen in the previous picture are reproduced on a grander scale on this mountainside.
|
|

Pocked Rock901 viewsI saw a lot of rocks with little round plugs or knots like the one in this picture - wonder how this happens?
|
|

The Way Down894 viewsThe trail into the canyon can be seen at lower right.
|
|

Wetland, sort of890 viewsUpon reaching the canyon floor, I found it to be covered with a dense thicket of reeds and long grass, fed by a small spring.
|
|

Sweets865 viewsMost of the parade participants threw goodies to the kids, who scooped them up eagerly - as did their parents.
|
|

Boiled Alive855 viewsThe silkworm cocoons have to be dissolved in boiling water before the silk threads can be extracted. The silkworms are thus boiled alive inside their cocoons - 6,600 silkworms have to die for every kilogram of silk produced. The PETA folks are not happy about it.
|
|

Rock Patterns842 viewsLots of interesting striations, dribbles and splotches in these varicolored rocks. Looks like someone spilled white paint over some of them.
|
|

Picnic Spot831 viewsA lovely shady spot in the midst of a burning desert, coplete with table, perfect for a picnic in the company of a companiable canine.
|
|

Hazard Warning830 viewsI couldn't figure out why such a sign might be necessary. Everything seemed perfectly new, spiffy and in great working order.
|
|

The Zero Gravity Jungle Gym826 viewsI prefer to think of it as an opportunity rather than an obstacle.
|
|

Contraption, at rest825 viewsAnother take on the one that was in the parade.
