Wherever I’ve lived, I’ve always ended up with a small collection of rocks, pieces of wood, bones, and rusted bits of metal on my porch. I pick them up on walks and leave them by the door. Sometimes I use them for art projects, and sometimes I just leave them alone, so I can enjoy looking at them when I come and go.
I think many people do something similar, because most folks I know have a “cool junk heap” outside their houses. The couple I’m cat sitting for are no exception. Their back patio is flanked by two low cinder block walls, and on top of the walls are an assortment of small stones. I liked the way the Virgina creeper twined around them, and since I already had my camera out, I took a few shots of the rock collection.
The most interesting shot didn’t turn out, though, so I’m going to have to give it another try tomorrow. I’m hoping to get humming bird photos, as well (live ones, even!).
