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

A darker dryad's saddle sticking up from a laid down hardwood tree whose bark has wicked away, roughly 10" (ten inches) in size.  It sort of has the shape of a funnel that goes 3/4's the way around, much like an elephant ear, and the texture on the cap reminds of a sourdough crust or pancakes in its striations
Another complex of dryad's saddle, now two stacked on top of one another, each roughly 14" wide, stick out from the base of a standing dead hardwood trunk.  These are lighter in color to the first one captioned, the bottom having what looks like a large bite taken from it.
A false death cap punches up through the thick dead leaves. The cap is flat with some leftover puncture still settled there, while it's annulus posts with a weighty drape high upon the stipe
Parasols, over half a dozen in view, have exploded over this section of the dunes.  The caps are scaled and vary in shape from bell shaped to nearly flat but still barely concave.  The ground is thick with loud, crunchy oak leaves

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...

Un point de vue sur une baie marine. Au premier plan, sable et un peu d'eau visibles à marée basse. Au second plan, immense étendue d'aster maritime, de salicorne, de statice commun, etc. A l'horizon, la côte maritime. Le ciel est nuageux de gris clair à très foncé.
Au premier plan une dune de sable parsemée de végétation basse. Au second plan d'autres dunes jusqu'à l'horizon où l'on voit la mer. Le ciel est bleu zébré de long nuages blancs effilochés.
Au premier plan le sable d'une immense plage à marée basse. Au second plan, des goélands au sol faisant face au vent. A l'horizon on voit la mer et l'écume des vagues à marée montante. Le ciel est bleu zébré de long nuages blancs effilochés.

There's something charming about mushrooms that still have a bit of dirt on them #fungifriday #fungi #michigan #dunes #mushrooms #earth

A puny white mushroom that resembles the shape, size, and smoothness of a sparrow's egg is surrounded by leathery beech leaves and  twigs.  The stipe is about a third of its cap's diameter, which is kissed by a single needle of a hemlock tree, and maybe seven or so bits of soil
A mushroom whose cap has the rumples of an old stool cushion is peppered by strands of rich, dark soil and has emerged from an avenue of very thin, gentle grass
A pale amanita mushroom sticks out from a dune side wearing much of the punctured sand atop its conical cap, which resembles in shape the kind worn by rice fieldworkers.  Just beneath the cap is a flowing, subtle annulus that wears like the skirt of a sundress.  Behind, an oak tree still bears green leaves, blurred and tilted
A hockey puck-sized white "true" mushroom is shown from the top down, as if it's a meringue-topped pie that collapsed somewhere in the middle, but dusted vaguely with cocoa powder anyway.  A thin tinsel of forest debris kinks across the surface.  The mushroom is nested in pine needles and some crispy remnants of leaves

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.

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.

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.

As the rain clouds begin to break up a bit we are walking a trail through light rain towards the nearby ocean. We are crossing a very broad swathe of sand dunes along the Oregon coast. Some of the dunes are covered with groves of evergreens, others tall golden grasses, and many are just barren sand dunes.

Sea of Sand. © Copyright 2023 G Dan Mitchell.

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. See the full image here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/mesquite-dunes-ii-bill-gallagher.html #MesquiteDunesII #BillGallagherPhotography #AYearForArt #DeathValley #SandDunes #DeathValleyNationalPark #Dunes

Mesquite Dunes II

I captured this image from about half way from the parking lot to the tallest dune at Mesquite Dunes. Walking in the loose sand of these dunes makes everything a little more difficult. 
In front of me are a number of ridge lines that are formed in the dunes. 
At the bottom left is a small bush that is showing behind the first ridge. 
In some places the sand turns from a light brown to almost black. 
The back drop behind these dunes are the purple mountains of Death Valley National Park.

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
