Simply Maine Rocks

2008.07.08










“A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock when somebody contemplates it with the idea of a cathedral in mind.”
—Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Maine's rocks are cathedrals—places to stand in awe.
I love the sound of the surf or quiet lake water , the barnacles and rockweed, and the patterns engraved on rock surfaces.

We roamed among the rocks, sometimes finding small treasures, often enjoying the rock paths we created. This is poetry not prose.

CJLata I was looking at number two, and I have concluded that it looks like a dog laying on its stomach. Let me know if you can see him too.

jagungal Ah, you're back — good! Really like this series, esp. #5, #6 and #7, the last being a real knock-out shot. And always good to hear from our old friend Saint-Exupery whose "Wind, Sand and Stars" is one of the great books of the 20th C.

oldbabe What is there about rocks that make us want to pick them up, turn them over and over to investigate all parts and then put them in our pockets? Of course we have to pass on the picking up and pocket thing when the rocks are as big as you've found! Everyone has its own "personality" - especially that funny little rock in #7.

ScubaLiz Awesome set, and I agree with CJLata - I thought that rock looked like a dog lying on its stomach, too!
