Looks like growitall has the tufa connection! Oh please do take more overall pics next year.
Bonehead, I so love the boulder outcropping.
I love rocks too.
I am on quite a hill. I used to have a sidewalk, at on off angle from the front door that led to nowhere and just stopped in the middle of the yard. The original plan was for more natural looking boulder outcroppings connecting to the other rock garden and rock steps to the city sidewalk...but then I decided to blow up the stupid sidewalk instead. So, what to do with the rocks? Ah hah, let's hide the fire-hydrant from the porch view...or something like that.
I promised no more pics of the house but ...hope this is small enough not to read the streetsign but big enough to see the problem
There is also an obnoxious streetlight, which illuminates the rocks every night. Kinda cool in a way, because it's always dark when I get home, so I don't get to see my other fabulous rocks except in the headlights. Hard to take a picture of. Moon coming up, photobombing cats moved a bit so they are little blurs, perhaps too long of an exposure
Here is a pic of my favorite rock this fall. It has ribbons of petrified wood in it.
and a couple more fall rocks
and this last one is from one of the shade gardens I used to have--one of my favorite places to 'hang out'
