New arrivals up in the dunes this week! #fungifriday #michigan #mushrooms #fungi #dryadssaddle #dunes




… and finally taking a little bit of time to review files exposed a few weeks ago. On the way to visit my new grandson (who picked up #covid in his 3 hour daycare experience the other week). The Atlantic Ocean is on the way to Southwest Pennsylvania, right?

Bonjour à toots,
#masto, les #dunes.
Les dunes, masto.
Vous êtes deux systèmes auto-organisés et ouverts à tous. Bon ok, les dunes vous avez de l'avance sur certains points comme : 100% #recyclable, 100% #compatible avec les systèmes connexes (la mer, les mouettes, les nuages, tout ça), 100% #libre (comme dans l'intention du #libreencommuns), bref 100% #nature et j'en passe. Quoi qu'il en soit, vous avez sûrement plein de choses à vous dire...



The deserts of Hara's homeland are littered with peculiar patches of mud, which the residents will bathe in. The mud is said to contain minerals that are revitalizing for fur and skin.

Podcast: The Mysterious Sinkholes of Mt. Baldy
Bear Cave Campground, Buchanan MI - Aug 2023
It was my 40th birthday weekend trip, and the whole weekend was beautiful weather - 70s-80s in the day and chilly enough for a fire at night and in the morning. There was no wifi or cell service, but we were able to keep busy. There was a lodge with a couple cool old arcade games (Die Hard, 18 Wheeler, Crusin' World to name a few) and a couple pinball cabinets.
Friday we visited Bear Cave. It cave was much smaller than we expected (about 150 feet in length), but we learned that the cave was used to hide slaves in the underground railroad. We're going to plan a trip to a bigger cave outside the state next year. We filled the rest of the first day with a fair that was going on a couple miles away. Lots of rides and show animals, and of course fair food :blobcatjustright:. Youngest daughter had to ride the ferris wheel, as is tradition.
Saturday we visited Warren Dunes State Park to climb some giant sandy hills and swim in Lake Michigan. I climbed the tallest one, then my youngest decided she wanted to go up, so I climbed it again with her, and another one after that. Then a dip in the lake to cool off, and back home to hang out by the fire.
It was fun and I'm glad we went but I can't say I'd want to to back for a few reasons. I won't list them here as it'd risk raining on this mostly positive post.

“ 28. Got Sand? -52Frames_abstract ”
On our way home from Mesa Verde we stopped for a little while at Great Sand Dunes. It was hot and muggy as it had just rained. I left this distant person in the shot because it gives it scale, but, I believe, still qualifies as abstract even with a distant person in the shot. #GreatSandDunesNationalPark #Nationalparks #sanddunes #abstract #dunes #wandering #onthewayhome #westernparks #nature #explore #explorenationalparks #sonya7r4 Photo Location: Great Sand dunes National Park, Colorado, USA

I love the interplay of shadows and light on sand dunes. When you're there early in the morning and after a windstorm, the purity of blue shadows and golden morning light feels inspiring.

Ranger Ranald, standing at the point divergence between dune accretion (vegetation covered dunes to the right) and dune erosion (slumping vegetation, bare sand to the left), during a visit by NatureScot staff to St Andrews.
#Dunes #Erosion #habitat #SandDunes #Coastal #Shorelines
AAAS: "In a twist, beach grass could make dunes more vulnerable to storms."During hurricane, dunes take brunt of accentuated wave action. Land managers oftem advocate planting grasses + other vegetation to boost integrity. Scientists study dunes in large metal troughs called wave tanks, but typically only several meters in length + trials last an hour. But Oregon State University has a104-meter-long flume. Brought in 500 cubic meters of sand + spent wks sculpting a beach + dune, then gave 6 months for bitter panicgrass (Panicum amarum) to grow and establish roots. 'Experiment simulated 19 hours of wave battering in total.' But every half-hour halted to scan the shape of the dune with a laser. [Experiment repeated with identical dune bare sand]. With bare sand, waves removed sand but slope remained the same. But with dune anchored by plants, waves excavated sand in front of vegetation. "These divots grew into larger depressions as more erosive energy was concentrated in a smaller area, because the grass blocked part of each wave." After 14 hrs, the waves had carved a 79 cm vertical face of sand called a scarp. Then the erosion rapidly accelerated against the vertical face of sand. "Overall, the vegetated dune lost 22% more sand than the bare dune because of erosion." But bitter panicgrass has fewer roots than other dominant species on dunes, + plants helpd dunes rebuild after storms because they trap wind-blown sand. As always, more research needed. #hurricanes #dunes #grass

Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, Death Valley National Monument, California from April 1984.
A decade later this became Death Valley National Park. An unusually rainy spring brought fresh green even to the floor of Death Valley, although temps climbed above 90 by noon on this early April day. The small animals that created all the paw prints did not appear during the day.

Walking through the rain towards the ocean. Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, March 1984.
A storm is ending, but the rain is still falling at this early point in my hike, helping create this moody panorama. I am hiking through a very broad swathe of sand dunes along the Oregon coast.

Pensacola, Florida was locked in fog. These sand dunes looked like mountains. I photographed them disappearing in the distance available in sepia, color and black/white. See here:

Waves of sand dunes in soft pre-sunrise light.
As per the usual plan, we headed out into the dunes in darkness, arriving at a likely location for photography while the sun was still below the horizon. At this hour the light is very soft and the colors subtle — the intense color of sunrise doesn’t arrive until a bit later. Often it is nearly silent, especially on a windless morning, and the sunrise light show begins quietly.

Mesquite Dunes II
Mesquite Dunes is the largest and most accessible sand dune in Death Valley. Located just east of Stovepipe Wells.
The round trip hike out to the largest dune (pictured here) is a 2 mile out and back and takes about an hour and a half walking in sand and seems to be twice as far as it actually is because of this.

More sand dunes - I like how this one is curved. It's amazing what wind can do in creating "natural art"
@jawlrc This time I don't see any hidden figurines in the sand, do you? 😅

Another perspective of the beautiful sand dunes of Maspalomas - this time you can see a tiny bit of the blue ocean in the background. I made sure to not have any actual people in the picture, yet the footprints in the sand will tell you that there might have been a few walking around ;)

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND
We travel 30 miles north by boat and land at Sanna, a little to the north of the tip of the Ardnamurchan peninsula. What you find is an amazing collection of beaches, dunes and rocky headlands. One of the things that makes Ardnamurchan so entrancing is its sheer remoteness. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kilchoan/sanna/index.html
