Rocks of all kinds have always fascinated me, and I’ve been collecting them for almost as long as I can remember. I can’t bring them all home (which is possibly a good thing), but I love taking photos of them. So the new theme for my photography posts is ‘random rocks’!
These photos were taken in September last year, on a beach north of Appin in Argyll. You are looking south-west across Loch Linnhe towards the small island of Shuna.
If I stare at the above photo for too long I will be seeing some I wish I’d picked up!

I used to do that, AND carry them home in my rucsack. We’ve moved too many times for much to have survived.

Likewise, Viv! There are boxes of rocks every time we move house. 🙂

I also am guilty of such things. Just at a glance there are at least four rocks in that photo I’d have picked up. I can’t imagine having a whole beach covered with them.

That’s why I spend SO much time on a beach, and this one was particularly good! And you can see how amazing the view was, as well. I want to go back there now! 🙂

Beautiful … water, air wind create amazing shapes! Thanks

You’re so right, Luciana! 🙂

Oh my, Jo. We must have talked about this before, but we are truly kindred spirits. I walk the gravel roads with my head turned down and always looking for a good one.

And I really enjoyed the loch as well.

Haha! Sounds familiar! I remember when I was a kid, endlessly picking over a pile of gravel that had just been delivered. I was born with it, I think!

I too like rocks. but I live in an RV and have no garden to place them in…so I have potted plants that contain my favorites! and I’ve a couple that I carry in my pocket…worry stones

How lovely! That’s a good idea. I have plenty of worry stones in my own pockets – they are very therapeutic! 🙂
