ReplyDeleteThere are mostly really early shells - pre-dinosaur era - around here (closer to home).
ReplyDeleteAmmonites, shells, clams, things like that.
Now I need a trip to New Hampshire. Those rivers are calling me!
ReplyDeleteThat is one sweet photo of Maddie on the fence with her Dad.
ReplyDeleteGreat, great photos - what a day you all must have had!
My oldest is *obsessed* with Spore. I try not to let it annoy me (I can't even figure out why it does). I will give it that it's opened a lot of good discussions about a diverse array of things.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing day you all had...and your pictures are gorgeous. I think my favourite is the tree in front of the rain cloud. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a heavenly day.
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh! Seriously gorgeous photos! What a lovely time you must have had!

ReplyDeletePhyllis - the elevation of where we were at yesterday (Crystal Lake, in the high Uinta's) is 10,220 feet. It's high, and cool.
