RE: Maine-ly a Wednesday Walk on a Tree Tuesday

Oh yeah it seems like granite is apropos for such rugged land! I have to say we are lacking such big pieces of stone here. I was surprised even how much more there was in Va. I guess thats what those mountains are all about. Well just between us, Ben nabbed a few choice pieces of quartz from the property. I suppose the laugh is on us coz we are paying top dollar after all. Love the tree and how it is surviving and thriving where it is against all odds!

Sort:  

The granite is so beautiful. The pictures didn't come out as well as I wanted, but, I was more interested in keeping good footing than to see if I could see through that little lens finder.

The geologic history of Acadia National Park stretches back in time through ... Erosion wore away the rocks covering the large granite bodies, ... leaving behind granitic rubble and bright pink scars on precipitous rock faces.

Granite underlies most of the park, especially the pink course-grained. I too was surprised at the rocks in Virginia, but, I have to say that it is mostly to the West and or almost exclusively on the Western borders of the state in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Did you tell Ben that you are supposed to leave Virginia in Virginia? They make you empty your pockets in some countries to make sure you don't take rocks or shells or things away from the country. :)

Make him come back and put it where it belongs. Oh, they didn't take the offer? Boooo.

Do love that tree too! Happy #TreeTuesday! As always, have a delightful night!
