Sunday Stone-Scrabbling
Mar. 26th, 2017 10:01 pmToday was approximately evenly split between napping, working, and walking, which is not such a bad way to go about things when you can.
I have been enjoying the landscapes I've seen in others' posts, have been feeling even a little envious of their moss-banked waterfalls and rugged declivities -- which envy is mad, given where I live, but the sphagnum is always greener, etc.
Therefore, here are a few photos from today's scramble along the rocks in Beacon Hill Park. The path is a bit dodgy at the best of times, and today it was muddy and the rocks were wet, but I find if I'm willing to lower my centre of gravity more than dignity strictly allows, I can achieve some fair progress.
The rocks are something remarkable -- huge rounded whalebacks banded, veined, and streaked with surprising colour.
In the spirit of shared beauty, then: ( Photos from today's walk )
As I cried out through the wind to S and LB, in my gamin enthusiasm, "This is a downtown park." That's a slight exaggeration, but only a slight one.
