This is one of the dykes found near Ayer's Cliff, just SE of Magog, Quebec. It's a set of three dykes, one of which has the deep-derived xenoliths. That one dyke (not photogenic) has weathered much faster, perhaps due to a higher carbonate content.

Legends tell of small, pale-skinned people that once lived in the Southern Appalachians. The Cherokee called them the Moon-Eyed People because they only emerged from their subterranean homes at night due to their eyesight being so poor that sunlight blinded them. #FolkloreSunday

Rural central New Brunswick, deep in the Canadian Appalachians. View from the top of the hill from where I spent many of my growing-up years. I rode my ponies through those woods, toboganed down those long, steep hills, hiked and skied with my dogs and cats. No place I’ve ever lived can match this area for autumn colours. #NewBrunswick #FallColors #FallColours #JacobsLadder #Appalachians #HayField #Forest #Forests #Sky
