There is nothing better then waking up in a remote area of the desert to a pot of hot coffee made from fresh peninsular beans.

Re: what is it?
OK, I can sense everybody's dying to know. The first photo is much like TradClimber suspected, a small pool of water in the shade that was reflecting a sunlit sandstone canyon wall and it was rotated one click clockwise. Photo was taken in Park Ave. Arches NP.
The second photo was, of course, desert bighorn scat on the White Rim a few mornings ago, Canyonlands NP.

Re: what is it?
Just a guess.
A spring contaminated with radioactive uranium and red-tinted Wingate Sandstone?
I wouldn't drink from it unless I wanted to glow in the dark!

Re: what is it?
Sycamore gets this one although there was no lichen involved. The black mess is desert varnish and the rest is muti-hued sandstone. It was a nicely rounded, dry waterfall pour-off in Dogleg Canyon, Canyonlands NP.
Here's the original-
I bumped the contrast a bit for a little artistic effect. I got my art license off the internet so I'm fully qualified to do that.

Re: what is it?
Dang! Fooled by the 180 degrees rotation. Compare your two photos. Which one has correct orientation, with your feet on the ground, to what you saw?
Is your internet art license by "Picasa 3"?
