Three Rocks
I pulled over and took this picture yesterday, and I was off on my way. Back a few years, if I ever came across these, I'd jump off my bike and proceed to spend 20 minutes or so climbing and hanging on these. I had a pretty good imagination too. I could turn these rocks into anything: floating icebergs, the top of Everest, or even a cave in the ocean deep. I spent a lot of time alone growing up, but I was in good company. My sometimes over-active imagination got me close to big trouble, but I seemed to always stop short.
The imagination... the cheapest babysitter ever.
I also raised daydreaming to an art form.
Well, at least in my mind, I did.
Sounds like your imagination was a wonderful companion!
ReplyDeleteWonderful colour balance, and like the way grounded and focused the image with the rocks.
ReplyDeleteNow you can take a photograph, look at it, and let your imagination take you on a journey through the picture. Nothing wrong with that. It's a gift.
ReplyDeleteI think those rocks would be kid magnets even today.
ReplyDeleteThey would make a nice fort.
ReplyDeleteAhh...daydreaming....I was very, very good at that too!
ReplyDeletelove big ol' rocks like those!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the over active imagination!
ReplyDeleteAnd it has probably also been, oh, weeks!, since you have stopped to sit on a see-saw, too. I guess we get older and some of these things either have lost our appeal or we can envision all the ways we could hurt ourselves if we scrambled onto them now.
ReplyDeleteAn imagination is a precious thing. Exercise it regularly!
ReplyDeleteLove those rocks! Have spent the past week clearing out twigs and weeds and clumpy 'stuff' from around many of these rocks in our yard. Our grandchildren *love* climbing on them, imagining just as you did / do . ..
ReplyDeleteLove the imaginative kid still active in your posts!

That sentence! I spent a lot of time alone growing up, but I was in good company. My friend, that's high literature.
