I won't be taking pictures today. I guess I stayed out in the heat too long yesterday. I can't walk very well today. I'll describe the area instead. The sandy soil comes from under tall oak trees. This area and soil basically only gets full sun in winter after the leaves have fallen. It seems to catch and hold blowing sand/silt better than other areas here. The soil is years of fallen leaves being covered with blowing sand/silt. Basically a natural compost bin.

When we take the soil from there and put it in beds out in the sun - it grows things very well. I guess in-a-way, that gives more info than pictures would.
