Amazing Sunset 2019-05-29

The sunset, looking to the east, was absolutely stunning, the best I've seen. It's too bad I only had my phone with me to take this picture.  The sun was almost gone behind the mountains behind me and because of the shape of the valley I was in the entire valley was in shadow except for the peaks of the mountains in front of me.

Interesting Find

So who can tell me what is embedded inside this stone? Are they bones, petrified trees, or something else? Since I tend to hike off-trail quite often, now and then I run into some interesting finds. This area was once a horrible pit of volcanic action and I often find stones composed of layered ash. Obviously, eons of weathering has washed away most of these hills revealing what was once buried during eruptions.
