Pocked Rock955 viewsI saw a lot of rocks with little round plugs or knots like the one in this picture - wonder how this happens?

Wetland, sort of940 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.

Rock Patterns928 viewsLots of interesting striations, dribbles and splotches in these varicolored rocks. Looks like someone spilled white paint over some of them.

Comet 2020/F3 NEOWISE905 viewsConditions for photographing Comet NEOWISE from my observatory near Anza, California were less than ideal. The comet was visible only in the northwest for a couple hours after sunset, at most, which put it squarely in the Los Angeles light dome. Another factor involved was the inexperience of the photographer - I hadn't done any night shooting with my DSLR before and I never got the camera focused properly, so the stars came out somewhat bloated and fuzzy. They also show some coma, I don't know why. But at least the comet itself came out reasonably well.
