Description
For the last week it's been grey, rainy (or snowy!) and cold, and even more than half of today was like that. Then suddenly the clouds thinned, and the sun came out.
So naturally I went out and made the rocks I've collected engage in one of their temporarily-frozen dances.
There are several stacks that I made, this being one of the more, improbable-seeming one. As you can see from the scar across the rock at the top, all of my rocks are "rescues" from nearby farm-fields. No rocks were harmed in making this.
After spending less than twenty minutes mocking gravity (as a friend of mine once called it) I went back inside absolutely elated and grinning like a fool. Amazing how beneficial doing this is for my mental state.

I still think you have gray aliens helping you.... :-D An amazing feat getting that top rock to balance on that little skinny one! After the last couple of weeks, maybe I should give this a try... Very cool, Mike!

Love the little one! Everyone has a job to do, no matter how unlikely. That little rock seems to be performing its duties effortlessly! Glad you enjoyed your gravity-mocking time. :)

Most rocks tumble but yours balance defying visual gravity. It's like holding your breath waiting for the world to start again. Great shot and a wonder to look and enjoy.

Looks like an exercise in patience to me, I'm curious as to how many times you have to re-stack before you find that perfect balance point for all those participating rocks. : )

This is the best form of mood improvement I can think of. Most other forms of alleged mood improvement generally involve tearing stuff up, which...okay, that's fun too, but then you have a mess to clean up afterward, and well...by then, you're too tired to clean the mess because you spent all of that energy tearing stuff up...which...well...it's really counter-productive, because needing to clean up puts you in another bad mood...well...at least sometimes. I'm always amazed at these shots and I have yet to try this art form myself. I'm also amazed at how this resembles so many ancient hieroglyphic and near-hieroglyphic shapes. If you look at ONLY the shadow of this, it could resemble at least two hieroglyphs: one stacked on top of the other, but in the whole grand, ironic scheme of things, those two hieroglyphs, when stacked together would read as something like: "My Horse is Yesterday." OK...I have no clue where that came from, but there it is. I really like this. More are always welcome.

That is so marvelous! If I'd made something like that, I'd be grinning too.

Very cool... not an easy task, but certainly a rewarding one. Bravo. Hope you are staying warm, colder down there than it is up here tonight I think. We, my wife and I, are in the Luther/Baldwin area about three hours north of you.
