Stories held in the Stones of our World

oh
the stories that rocks do hold

stories 
ancient
yes, quite old


planet earth leans this way then that


rivers and streams forming clay
shapes remain


layers upon layers
holding secrets of time


if you know any of the secrets or stories these Montana rocks hold
feel free to share them in your comments

  1. It is very difficult to know how to interpret what we mean nature, if she wants to tell us something.
    Have a good one, Tammie.

  3. Rocks are the bread of the crust of Earth. Folded and kneaded into a whole baker's shop of delights. The mixed fruit in the dough are the crystals, the sea shells, petrified wood and fossils.
    Love your pictures.

  4. The stories of the rocks are full of colour and texture and hold generations of experience, they talk to us of rivers and winds and animals now extinct. We may look upon them with awe and respect and marvel at their beauty, at the history they contain.
    Tammie,such beautiful colours and markings on these incredible rock formations. I really love the lines and colours and shapes of that last image.

  8. These rocks look divine! Full of winds, water, snow, sun warmth, wing shadows, lizards' steps, light, darkness, smells and fragrances... We can only guess what they have seen or heard, but they give some kind of security to us, I think!
    Great photos!!!

    P.S. I answered your comment in my blog.

  13. Gorgeous, gorgeous rocks! Especially love the bright orange lichen. I've been so busy, I've neglected my walks in nature... time to get back out there. :)
    You've got some wonderful country up there... I hope to get back again someday soon.
