I thought you were wondering how hard it is to do what the glacier or fossil did, embroidered a rock. Not for long I get what you really mean and my original grasp was a good fantasy.<br /><br />The post is beautiful and the park is both relaxing and refreshing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-70541543430470364072009-03-31T20:01:00.000-05:002009-03-31T20:01:00.000-05:00What great photos!

I don't even know where to begin with this comment... probably the most thought-provoking thing about them is the comparison of the park and the embroideries, both seeming drab, yet both containing light and sparkle in key places. Your helibore picture makes me drool, as do the little white lillies (or whatever the sweet beauties are).... And then, there are rocks. No, I don't think it would be possible to embroider a rock, because hard is a necessary qualifing characteristic of rocks and embroidery is soft... OK... well, thread embroidery is... but we could do it with beads! Thanks for enriching my life today!
