This is a fascinating subject which draws upon a multitude of situations, locations and sizes.
My first photo illustrates the power of a rock and the impact it can make. found it during the summer of 2009. It is part of an old sea wall and the force of the incoming and outgoing tides must have caused the bigger rock in the middle to go spinning around in the hole causing it to gradually get larger each day with rock and tide rotations. Another example of erosion among rocks are the sea caves found in St. Martins, New Brunswick. Every day the power of the mighty Fundy tides moving in and out continue to sculpt these interesting cave formations.
Ever wonder why Newfoundland is often referred to as "The Rock" The photo of the huge rock of the shoreline might give you a hint. Still in Newfoundland , the rocky shoreline there provides ample opportunity for nesting by the many seabirds located in that region.
Thus the picture , nesting Kittiwakes.
Lastly, but still along a coastline we were studying the many rocks one day found in a breakwater at Saint John New Brunswick , when suddenly we saw a handsome black and white cat among the rocks. I have named this last picture "Breakwater Cat"

We all take pictures of landscapes. One of the things I like are rocks and their shapes and colors! Now people are even painting small rocks or stones and leaving them in parks etc. for others to hunt for. Lets see what you can find to photo!
Beautiful, Sharon. Have lots of rocks - on my other computer. Did take a "few" in the last weeks. Love these rocks and the colored rock along the Maine coast.

Rock Rentals,,,,here's the deal, I'll rent out my rocks, but there will be no charge, you pay only the transportation. The goal here is to make something in your yard a bit more interesting etc
Well, I don't need "rent-a-rock" Plenty around here. Good luck in this capital venture.

p3. The photos showing erosion are terrific. What power in the sea as well as the effects of constant motion. Little by little, big things can be accomplished.
