March 16th to 18th Challenge "Rocks"

Hello, Hoggers! This topic involves subjects that are all around us -- ROCKS. Boulders, pebbles, garden rocks, park rocks, beach rocks, monuments,, etc., etc. I'm looking forward to how you elect to present your local rocks or those you encountered on some of your trips -- dry, wet, under snow, whatever.

RichardQ it is sooo special to have you host. I have a bunch of rocks - many of which are in my head. I will find some.

Thank you, Pat. I was wondering who would be the first to reference the "crags in the cranium." I'm looking forward to those legendary Maine stones.

Thank you, Richard, for sharing these incredible images from "Down Under." That "Bombo" formation might be what Trump's "Wall" will look like 30 years after it's finished. I've forgotten what the name of that gargantuan red rock formation is, but I recall it has an eerie, mythic history, both among the aborigines and the European settlers.

How about some Arizona rocks
Wow, Pat, you really went out of your way for those shots! Of course, we don't pay mileage here.

The Europeans named it Ayers Rock back in 1873 when the discovered it.
Today it is known as "Uluru / Ayers Rock".
