Devils Tower National Monument Leave a comment
Designated a National Monument in 1906 by President Teddy Roosevelt, Wyoming’s Devils Tower was the victim of a typographical error at birth. As the National Park Service’s website puts it:
When the proclamation establishing Devils Tower was published, the apostrophe was unintentionally dropped from “Devil’s”—and this clerical error was never officially corrected.

Muir Woods National Monument – Part II 1 comment
I love this image … tough to tell where the reflection starts.
Hot sun = closed clover
Cool shade = open clover
End your outing with a Marin Melt in the Trading Post … you will thank me later!

Muir Woods 2 comments
The Muir Woods National Monument is a little slice of paradise, located just a few miles north of San Francisco.
If you love trees, you need to go there.
This picture of ferns glistening in the sun is my favorite picture from a visit to Muir Woods. And the image wasn’t taken in the park; it was in a ditch at the edge of the parking lot. Beauty is all around us.
