Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, California, 2007

A landscape of ancient boulders, trees and grasses greets the hikers and campers who visit this state park. I saw the boulders here as islands in a sea of grass. The tiny spikelets at the ends of the blades toss around and over the rocks as ocean spray. The light illuminates one of the boulders, while throwing the others into deep shadow. The rounded shapes of the boulders echo each other, creating a sense of movement from front to back and side to side. Three layers draw the eye into the scene – the foreground boulder as an anchor, the flow of green grass dividing the boulders down the middle, and the wall of boulders as background.

You are fantasizing again, Rosemarie. I saw his face in another rock, at least for a moment, but it never showed up in the image I made of it . Such is the power of suggestion.

Um, I think I see John McCain's face in the rock!
