Well, when you put together the stone circus, let me know. The secret is to find out what they really like. Say, "Hi", to Kieth for me!



I was worried about you guys in the PNW. I'm glad you're OK. The news read like the fires down here.

we live on a hill so not too much flooding except the sheet of water running across the pasture and the pond having water in it for the first time... CNN interviewed Ilene and were going to air some of her photos of the flooding where she's still trapped by a washed out road (she was visiting a friend when the snow that started this stopped traffic) I'll pick her up in the morning if they have the road passable again. The county had a list of over a couple hundred roads with closures from slides and washouts.

Peace

I know it's bad up there. I got a list off of KONG yesterday of the closures.

When the fires were going on down here, it was about the same: all the roads were closed. Even the roads to Mexico. It was frightening.

I just hang on to my sense of humor to get me through.

That is why I joke.

Be safe and be well, Ed Book. The same with Ilene.

When this is all over, write some more rock stories. I enjoyed those. I like rocks too.

wow now that's dry. We've had days of thunderstorms and rain...needed after a long drought but still too dreary & dull for taking photos..

"too dreary & dull"? The best light for photography is overcast... it's why I live in the Pacific NW.

Contrast helps us determine what we want... and that's good... and rocks turning left... that's good too!

great picture Ed - and good to see you back! : )

I was going to ask just how it is that the rocks move in this way, and then I read the link that yarnwoman provides. I can well imagine how it's by force of the wind, but it's still an incredible thing, albeit so simple.

Mistery of the time? Interesting what makes it to move. :)
