Bryan HanselI love the texture and patterns in dry mud.

@bryanhansel That's a disaster to the microorganisms in soil. No matter how beautiful the texture looks, it worries me
@xyfly it shouldn't because this is in Badlands National Park. It does this every summer. https://www.nps.gov/badl/index.htm
Badlands National Park (U.S. National Park Service)
The rugged beauty of the Badlands draws visitors from around the world. These striking geologic deposits contain one of the world’s richest fossil beds. Ancient horses and rhinos once roamed here. The park’s 244,000 acres protect an expanse of mixed-grass prairie where bison, bighorn sheep, prairie dogs, and black-footed ferrets live today.
