I'm often amazed at how beautiful the small things in nature can be.  Whether a bee pollinating a flower, a wild animal stopping to look at you, a blade of grass struggling to grow in a desert, or how sculpted lava can seem.   These photos...

amazing pictures, Dr F...yes, the small things can be interesting too...these are works of art by mother nature and you've captured them well

Between the lava flow and live foliage returning - how long will have passed ?

Hard to be sure as there are repeated flows of lava over the area I took pictures in, but at least 25 years and probably more like 50-75 years for those with better developed grasses and ferns. Lava flows are often quite narrow, maybe only a few hundred meters wide, and overlap often.
