    Wednesday's visit to the North Falls at Silver Falls, Silverton, OR

    The Adiantum Ferns that cling to the walls close to the water.

    Both great, Paul, but the first one is truly special. I can imagine how nice the light looked at that moment

    Thank you, it was a beautiful location and the light was great. I wish it had been an overcast day (better light, IMO) but it was nice as it was.

    I know - it seems like such an insignificant thing - but I am fascinated by the various household glass items that are continuously making their way down the Marys River, onto our farm every year. Without fail, I find at least one new piece of glassware in the shallow section of "beach" at the north corner of the property. Yesterday was the first time I have had access to this area (we are close to the summer low water level already), and immediately I spotted this jar, half submerged in the sandy river bottom.
    I'm showing the clear side of the jar - the opposite side is deeply stained with an Iron patina from all the dissolved Iron in the river. It's almost black around the rim and on one side. My search suggests that this was a jar of "Table Garden Relish Spread" by the Wheatley Mayonnaise Co. in Kentucky. (See: <a href="https://www.northernkentuckyauction.com/auctions/20285/lot/56474-labeled-table-garden-relish-spread-wheatley-mayonnaise-company-louisville-kentucky-and-jacksonville-florida?tab=details" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.northernkentuckyauction.com/auctions/20285/lot/56474-...</a>)
    That link is the ONLY reference I found on the Web that had a photo of this jar. It likely dates to between 1920 and 1940.

    When I find one of these relics I start to wonder - where (and when) did it start its journey in the Marys River? It's been in the river for about 80 years, and probably moves some distance every year. How far, I cannot imagine - maybe a few feet per year, maybe some years some of these objects travel hundreds of feet. Did these kitchen items all come from one household, or many? Did they come from the original house here on the farm, and have only traveled 3/4 of a mile around the hairpin curve of river that frames our farm? I have no idea. But I sure do wonder.

    "where (and when) did it start its journey in the Marys River?"

    Thanks so much for giving some context to the subject. Unless they are purely artistic abstractions, I think pictures are more interesting if there is some context.

    There are many studies on how far an individual rock moves, as well as sediment transport and storage, in various types of rivers. My guess is that it was stored in sediment for a long time, given the iron stains on one side and the lack of sandblasting it would get if it was exposed on the bed for a long time. It probably floated along for a while, sunk, and then lodged in the sand and became part of the flood plain or stable part of the channel until the a sediment around it eroded away and it re-re-started it's journey. Large floods re -arrange sediment on alluvial rivers. Did the Marys River flood recently? How long does it take for iron stains to coat glass or other objects?

    If the Marys River bed is mostly sand and small gravel, a jar would behave like a "lag deposit" and move much slower that the rest of the smaller-sized sediment.

    Years ago I found a buffalo (bison) femur that was re-emerging from an eroding cut bank in northern Montana. The last buffalo were gone from this area around the late 1870's or so. I used to use this bone in my classes to help students understand fluvial systems beyond the equations.

    Paul, I enjoyed both - the picture and the essay. Thank you very much for sharing.
