  • A Cascade golden-mantled ground squirrel (Spermophilus saturatus) feeds on seeds from a low branch of a maple tree near Eatonville, Washington. The Cascade golden-mantled ground squirrel is native in British Columbia and Washington state, found in the Cascade mountains from Nicola River to the Columbia River. As the name suggests, the ground squirrel normally feeds on fungi, vegetation, seeds and small fruits that are found on the ground, although it will climb into bushes and trees to feed.

Brandywine Falls drops overs over three different types of rock: Berea sandstone at the top, Bedford shale in the middle and Cleveland shale at the bottom. The newest rock is about 320 million years old; the oldest is about 400 million. The layers were exposed and the waterfall was formed about 10,000 years ago when the last glaciers retreated from the area.

  • Brandywine Falls drops 65 feet (20 meters) into a lush gorge in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio. Brandywine Falls drops overs over three different types of rock: Berea sandstone at the top, Bedford shale in the middle and Cleveland shale at the bottom. The newest rock is about 320 million years old; the oldest is about 400 million. The layers were exposed and the waterfall was formed about 10,000 years ago when the last glaciers retreated from the area. The top Berea sandstone layer is the hardest and protects the softer layers below from the erosive force of the falling water.
