Heman Park: Hermania & Billfork 03
Then we come to a Billfork revisit. To remind the reader, Billfork was the site of an important art happening or toy avatar event about 2 years ago. Nothing’s really happened there in the intervening time, but today I decided to import an interesting looking rock from the area above Billfork where I got the bottles and other objects for the aforementioned event. I also have a pot full of bricks and several other objects ready to go to Billfork from the same place when I get back there. Soon!
And as the case with Hermania, Billfork has changed a bit. I simply do not remember all these exposed bricks pictured below before. Will look really good in Billfork, I believe. New event!
The pots appeared different from before, and also arranged in unremembered ways…
Pipe stuck in ground.
Interesting rock in area.
A smaller rock from the same “gathering” area, with an unusual seeming notch, almost like a doorway or passageway.
Neighboring rock with interesting red band following its curving top.
Here’s the pointy rock I took back to Billfork with me. Very flat on the bottom.

Herman Park: Hermania and Billfork 02
This day I also decided to revisit Hermania and TILE Falls for the first time since last summer or fall. The below photo is taken from behind TILE Falls, opposite the actual drop. The sunlit rock to the left is as yet unnamed, but still perhaps very, very important still to the TILE mythos…
… for on the bark of what appears to be another newly fallen tree — or fallen since my last visit — *3 apparently “man-made” notches are found, pointing directly to the island just beyond and below. My educated guess would be that the aliens have once again predicted my visit and left a sign. “Pay attention to the falls and rock!” they might be indicating.
Also this piece of lichen was hanging on a rhododendron branch directly above the island.
We’ll get back to TILE Falls and neighboring Hermania Central soon enough. Here’s a parting shot for now of the log crossing TILE Creek just upstream.
I should also note that the beaches of the area have *completely* changed in the meantime, and, for example, the position of Jupiter Beach, if we can still call it that, has moved downstream maybe 10 yards from where it was, and also enlarged (see below). There’s also more exposed rocks in the heart of Hermania, around Whole Tree, and a beachy strip of land runs from the log pictured above almost all the way to TILE Falls, curving left in the process. Most of this was simply not present before.

Shots from the mouth of TILE Creek, or at least where it enters Drink Lake. I believe I may study this delta region each spring to see what turns up.
A large tree has fallen across the fence surrounding Drink Lake near where TILE Creek dumps its waters.
Yellow flowers found on two lumps (“islands”) within TILE Creek here. This appears to be coltsfoot.*
Fence at western end of Drink Lake, already blog famous for the Boris Spider Phenomenon from Spring 2012. There’s the newly fallen tree again in the foreground.
Drink Lake Delta.
On the way to Pencilinsula, whose mountain laurel and rhododendron underbrush has grown so thick as to basically block access to the lake here, and the also blog famous Point Rock. But that’s okay — maybe the land needs to heal from past beaver ravages (SEE: Quadrobeavs).
You can see the TILE Creek bed extending well into Drink Lake, which means the lake is considerably shallower at times.
Old shoe found and turned over at Pencilinsula.
