Ramsey Island

I don’t know what it is about rock but I love rock. I have a lot of rock in my garden, most of it hauled from the hedgerows around our property, with a few pieces tossed in from travels. I have Carrara marble in my garden … yes, I brought rocks home in my suitcase. 😉   Some are just centre pieces in various parts of the garden, a lot is in stone walls I built.  It’s probably a combination of the durability of stone, its immense age, the varying shapes, and, often, the colours.   When I visited Ramsey Island off the west coast of Wales I was  mesmerized by the varying rock that made up the cliffs.  I found it incredibly beautiful … I was so captivated I took over 100 pictures … here is a small sample.

  1. Such gorgeous colors and textures! I think rocks represent endurance – and I have been known to bring some home in a suitcase.

  2. I can see why you were captivated….beautiful photos. There is something which enchants me about rocks…they’ve just been around for so long 🙂 I have to confess that like you I sometimes bring them home….they’re in my garden, on my doorstep and scattered through my house 🙂 I have a very patient husband 🙂

    1. My sister also enjoys rocks and has been known to enlist her husband to help her get them to the vehicle … on seeing her still looking and hearing her say she was looking for one for me my brother-in-law (who I love dearly) was heard to say, “You’re sister can get her own damn rocks!”
