It's a whole lot of flat land around here.
A few bluffs and the occasional hill can be found, where the Sangamon river or some other of nature's toolbox pushed the earth up to the sky.
That's one reason why I find rocks so wonderful.
As a lad, we used to explore the limestone hill that was across the creek on our place. We'd play pirates, cave explorers, and rock hunters, as we would dig into the side of the hill into the rock. We'd play king of the hill, explore for arrow-heads or other artifacts, and have a ton of fun.
So, rocks are something I enjoy.
This pile of limestone (at least I think it's limestone) is part of a series of piles that are part of the wetland restoration area in Southwind Park. It was the first thing I went to when I got out of my car that day.
The sky was a great counterpoint to the rock edges and faces. Nice blue and soft, feathery clouds.
Anyone want to go digging for hidden gems?
