Field guide No. 1066
A faucet pouring dry sand
The tap is not running low.
A brass faucet over a stained porcelain basin pours a steady stream of dry sand, which has piled up in a soft dune. Plumbing has been called, though nobody can say which trade.
Field noteDry sand runs from a brass tap into a basin. Plumbing and geology disagree about the trade.
Also possible, also breaking material
Please untangle the northern lightsAuroras are light a hundred kilometres up. This one came low enough, and solid enough, to snag.
Fern emerging from shaleA fern can press into stone over time. This one saved the time and skipped the soil.
The softest stoneA boulder folded like a cushion under one feather. Stone is not soft, but soft stone is not a contradiction.
Rippling water in trilobite fossilsFossil hollows fill with rain often enough. These held the shapes and the water.
