The subject for March was stone. I thought the world outside was full of rocks and the challenge should be a piece of cake. The problem, I found, was that most of the rock to be found just sitting around waiting to be photographed in the northwest was the big hunk of dark grey rock used in rockeries. There are rockeries everywhere around here...and every rock in every rockery looks almost exactly the same. Fortunately, my parents were rockhounds when I was a child, so I had odds and ends of their collection to dip into.
Something about this subject brought out my tendency to corny jokes...

| Dumber than a box of rocks.... |

| A geode- the Schrodinger's Cat of the mineral world. |
Now that I am halfway the April's subject - Foliage - I am suddenly discovering all sorts of rocks, minerals, and objects made of stone that I wish I had included. I fear that will be the major downside to this project...all the things I find a couple of months too late.
