The rocks in the picture above are from a dry riverbed. Not every stone had fossils in it, but Most of them did and the large ones had many, many more. It was so amazing to see all of them! John and I discovered them on a delightful walk we took last Saturday. We hiked all over the place and found fish to feed, a culvert Big enough to walk through, and a bit of wildlife. We ended up in a tree stand at dusk. Two deer bounded into the area and stopped under the stand. Such graceful creatures! It was an incredible experience to be so close to something so wild. Even though they looked up at us, they continued to graze contentedly.**************************
Today, we stopped at an old place that used to be a county home. It is a Huge series of buildings that are completely run down. It is almost covered with overgrown vines and bushes. Inside the paint is peeling and the walls are crumbling. One room is filled almost to the ceiling with old newspapers. One room had a bunch of old broken pianos (in several pieces). It is one of the most wonderful place I've been! I walked around like Alice in Wonderland. I really want to go back with my camera to capture the Beauty there! If I had the money, I would buy it even though it has no fixtures, no door handles, no plumbing. Every wall is a photography studio! And the architecture is... ahhhhhh.... There are balconies all over the place and TONS of windows. In unexpected places there are tiny closets, Huge stairways, and long hallways. The paint is perfect too: Mustered yellow, Tiffany blue, Bright teal... Everything else is white. I don't know if I'll be able to get permission to photograph it, but I really hope I can. It is a place to visit in dreams.
