Damn it you just made me want to go back!!!!
I think it's all sandstone but I'm not super geologically informed, so there may have been other types of rock as well.
I peed near it. So did Pilot.

LOL! Pretty stunning area. I had to look it up on a map to see the terrain that way also. These things are an endless fascination for me. You sure live in a beautiful spot with so many cool places not that far from you (yes, I studied the map profusely, gotta get all the states clearly mapped in my mind). If you can go back, go for it, I want more pics and video if you can manage it, LOL!
It looks to be primarily sandstone. The layers are wild. Some of it makes me think of tree bark. I'm not a geologist either, but carving stone has resulted in closer study of it, since I'm a rockhound too.
Territory marking! LOLOLOL! You reminded me of another story but I'll save that one for a post because I have decent pics!
LOL I didn't even think of it as territory marking, more like being wild with the earth. Ha!
I have sooooo many more photos to go through.
I like your way of seeing it. My friend is male, so hahahaha, that's why I thought of territory marking. Women don't think in terms of territory, unless it's their children, at least from what I've observed.
I am so looking forward to seeing them.
I just have to share this and thiswith you so you can hear a cardinal singing. It's very distinctive to my ear. One woke me up early this week with their song (delightful) and another was singing away a few hours ago as I worked on my garden. Now, if only, if only one would cooperate at the right time for my camera so I could get decent shots.
You've got me going on birds big time. Yesterday, saw a common blackbird in the tree beside my balcony (not cooperative for camera, again). There are also sparrows here by the boatload, sometimes they land and sing on my balcony (a treat). I plan on keeping my eye out to see if I can get some bird photos. Pidgeon's are easier, since on the ground a lot here. I did get some really interesting bird related photos a week ago, but have to put together in a post. Been so tied up with things the last couple months that I've slacked on posting.
That redhead has a pretty voice!! They look and sound almost tropical, hard to believe they can handle all that winter. Birds amaze me. I'm glad you're getting back into them! They seem almost separate from the rest of the animal kingdom.
I hadn't thought of them as tropical sounding, but now that you mention it, I can hear that in their song. Birds fly, seems magical to me (forget flying bugs). They are different. I think I've wanted to fly since forever, so there's that too.
