Rocks

Took another hike in the granite dells near our campground and took these up close and personal pix of the rocks.
There are hundreds of balanced rocks in the dells, many appear so delicately balanced that a mere flick of the finger would send them tumbling.

Another balanced rock.  It's really tempting to give them a shove - but I didn't.


The patterns in the rocks are interesting, too.  Not being heavy into geology, I don't know what causes these striations and at the moment I'm too lazy to google it.

  1. The round ones look so smooth. It actually reminds me of the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland. (second picture from bottom)
