Landscape Language

Erratics (noun) – Boulders that have traveled far from their source

Erratics are found throughout Mount Rainier National Park. In geology, boulders that are located far from their origin and differ from the surrounding rocks are called erratics. They are moved by the powerful forces that have shaped the mountain, including eruptions, debris flows, and glaciers. An easy place to view some erratics is along the Nisqually Vista Trail at Paradise, where several large boulders stand among the meadow plants. These erratics were carried down to Paradise by a lahar about 6,000 years ago.

There may not be any “major” attraction on Motion Path but hiking it during the summer months provides lots of smaller things to look out for. Lots of marsh berries like bake apples, an amazing view of the Cape Spear path along with the lighthouse when the weather is clear, the aerial view of the rolling hills, and not to mention the abundance of plant life that thrives in the marshes.

Definitely an underrated trail in my humble opinion.

Motion Path.

Plate 1. [printed and crumpled; detail] The view of Shelburne Harbor and Sand Point taken from Fort Point... In the foreground is a glaciated ledge of staurolite schist whose bedding strikes toward Sand Point. The two erratics on the roche moutonnée are Shelburne granite. One has been almost quarried away — the usual fate of erratics in this country. link

JESUS OKAY I FINALLY GOT IT this has been stewing in my mind for like 2 weeks now and now I finally got it. Also this is specifically dedicated for my dear pookie @sant-riley thank you for the brain worm♡

Tattoo artist!Ghost who is just so huge and burly and intimidating. His tree-trunk like arms are covered in bold, black tattoos, his strong neck too and you could swear that another large intricate one was on his stomach too whenever his black shirt rode up.

And imagine you, a novice to the tattoo world and Ghost was initially kinda surprised that you came into his shop; it was known for big, bold artworks and someone as sweet and soft looking like you didn't really seem like someone who would get one, maybe he could figure something out for you.

So imagine the way Tattoo Artist!Ghost's heart rate spark when you asked him to design a delicate womb tattoo in that shy voice of yours ;; Simon swears he almost felt light headed from the way all his blood rushed towards his dick because in his mind with an added womb tattoo?? And your soft curves, broad hips and full thighs?? You will look like his own personal fertility goddess and Simon became determined to not only be the one to exclusively tattoo you, but also to win this girl over and become his♡

Happy belated Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians.

I spent a portion of the day out on a hike. Motion Path certainly was just as gorgeous as last time and I didn’t get sunburnt so that’s a plus. Hopefully everyone else enjoyed the holiday as much as I did.

I hc mephone4 is very insecure about his higher emotional drive compared to mepad. The fact that the one he saved ends up taking care of him daily is an ego hit, and causes old wounds to open up.
