Everyone has collected rocks for one reason or other.
I collect a rock every time I go to a place. It could be special place or just a bench in the park. Vacations and places of sad memories, but keeping a rock from a traveled road has always kept a vivid memory of that moment and if I rub it in my hand, close my eyes I’m there again.

I love to do the same thing. Rather than purchasing a little do dad in a local shop I find more joy in simple finding a small rock or stone I am attracted to.

Do you put them in your potted plants or garden? I do both.

I have small ceramic planting pots they go in. I have one on my table in the yard and love to look at it when I am out back.

We live on the North Shore of Long Island, NY and the beaches are rocky. I can’t even begin to tell you how gigantic our rock collection has become! I can sit for hours surrounded by rocks but work to find the special one that stands out to me. 🙂 LOVE your photos!

I love rocks…grew up with our ankles surrounded by big rocks in the back seat of the old rambler that my mom had made my dad stop and get…LOL I can still hear her say….Buck stop, I need that rock…LOL I am afraid it was handed down genetically….as I have a huge rock collection I move from place to place to place…I tore my rotor cuff moving big rocks in my yard…LOL I have rocks/shells from all over the world, as all my friends and family know all I ask for is a little stone or shell from where the visited..one of my favorites is a shell that was fossilized lord knows how many years ago from the desert in Morocco where my son visited…love the heart stones…have one or two of them…I have learned over the years that a symbol follows you throughout your life…heart shapes and star shapes have been a part of my life journey since I was very young….and I didn’t even realize until I was in my late 40’s….one night I was sitting in my home and started noticing every where I looked I had a star of some sort all around the house….I started counting and found visually in each room over 35 stars…crazy….I had already noticed that the heart shape seemed to show up constantly in my life….love this post……

I and my brother also used to do the same when we were kids.
You brought an old memory back.
I started writing a story inspired by this post. It’s called heartstone. It will be ready by tomorrow I think. Thanks for sharing this

That’s a nice hobby. Do you tag the rocks to remember where it came from? 😃

I do that too! When people ask what I’d like for a souvenir, I always say a stone 🙂
