Again a few years ago got this shot of a climber in the City of Rocks in Idaho. Just really impressed with the shot. I know it's not the best, but just thought it was cool.

A week or so before Xmas I was out & about & saw a pigeon doing its Important Business Walk along the sidewalk & this image popped into my head, fully formed. I finally was able to bring it into the physical world, so meet the City Pigeons!

As you can see, they're VERY Busy & Important & also have Stylish Pants.

Today’s Exhibit of the Day? The Museum’s giant amethyst geode. Standing 9 ft (2.7 m) tall and weighing around 11,000 lbs (5,000 kg), it’s one of the largest specimens in our halls. How did this dazzling geode come to be? About 135 million years ago, the continental plates carrying South America and Africa began to separate. Magma poured out from fractures in Earth’s crust and large gas bubbles escaped from within the magma—becoming trapped in the rock as it solidified, forming cavities. Groundwater flowing into these spaces brought dissolved silica, which crystallized into quartz. Over millennia, most of these quartz crystals turned into rich purple amethyst. Spot this and other amazing specimens in the Museum’s Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals!
