Cliff

 

One of the cliffs along the shore of the York River in York River State Park. The image above is looking left. The one below is looking to the right from the same position. All this is the result of the river's floods and tides.

Plume Thistle

I returned this past week to York River State Park where I discovered a new kind of thistle blooming.

A certain variety of the plume thistle, I understand, is actually native to this region and is much prized for its ability to attract pollinators.

Weather Station

 

I could enjoy, I think, having a weather station like the one at York River State Park shown above but I doubt my homeowners association would approve. :-)

 

 

Partly cloudy sky over Jamestown High School.
