I found these up near Copper Harbor Michigan. The variety of different colors is most unusual. I am wondering if the mineral variety that they perch on might be to blame.

Stan: yah, the OOF hoovers mightly. If only I'd thought to take several focuses and combined them in PS. Oh well. Live and learn.
