Hi everyone, Would you like to participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge? Just take a photo that is your interpretation of the theme and post it in this thread. The rules are rather simple.
- Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else.
- Photoshopping is allowed but should be kept to the basics only rather than a total transformation.
- Grab your camera, experiment, and, most of all, have fun.NOTEThis week's theme was a joint suggestion by dennis9. (Thanks - Dennis, Brenda, and Matthew!) |

My first thought was the beach, but I realized they were not stones but rocks. Then I remembered these......  |

Sent me to Google, Margaret. Very interesting. Definitely not an ordinary stone, Dennis. That's quite a treasure. However you reminded me that I do have an ordinary stone. But is is a treasure of sorts as it was given to me by my grandson many years ago.   |

Puddingstone - a conglomerate - basically beach rocks glued together with sand a few eons ago. This specimen would have been picked up in northern ontario and dropped off here by a glacier - so technically a glacial erratic conglomerate - but puddingstone sounds better!  Tony |

One of my photos is along the lines of tonyw s post. EDIT: well I guess all stones have an ancient history in years beyond our comprehension. I picked up the top stone on the shores of Redfish Lake in Nunavut above the Arctic Circle in 2014. (A photo of the same rock has been posted here before but I took this photo in my office this afternoon.) The stone contains an imprint of a cephalopod. Coiled cephalopods became fairly common only by later Paleozoic times ... An era of geologic time, from the end of the Precambrian to the beginning of the Mesozoic, or from about 543 to about 248 million years ago. So this fossil is even older than some of us here at PSEM.  The second photo is one of planEt Neptune's many moons, Omicron, taken with an astro telescope. Just kidding.  This is a round stone about the size of a large grapefruit I found many years ago. Both of these were photographED in my office using a make-shift "studio" setup.   |

This little fella 'followed me home' from a not-long-ago walk. I left a different one behind in trade.  Thanks for the theme Dennis, Brenda, and Matthew, and thanks Sepiana for wrangling the challenge. |

Stepping stones carry the North Downs Way across the River Mole at Box Hill in Surrey. For those like me and Mum, who are not confident enough to tackle the Stones, there is a bridge alternative a few yards downriver. i.ibb.co/LnsJN5s/SS-1.jpg i.ibb.co/Wyp4v1n/SS-2.jpgMatthew |
