Teetering on the edge after a storm surge washed some of the beach away, the light and texture of the rounded stone caught my eye.
I like to stroll through the "collections" building - where kids of all ages show off collections of all kinds. From silver spoons to Elvis dolls to... rocks.

Popular with hikers and climbers, Pilot Rock stands out as one of the most striking features of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. The remnant of an ancient volcano, Pilot Rock is visible from much of the Shasta Valley in northern California and parts the Rogue Valley in southern Oregon. Over time, the exterior volcano eroded away, leaving behind the impressive columnar basalt of the ancient volcano's central vent. Fossil sites in the vicinity of Pilot Rock contain leaf impressions and conifer cones that became embedded in volcanic ash beds 25 to 35 million years ago.
The south face of Pilot Rock provides some of the best technical climbing opportunities in southwestern Oregon. Seven technical routes exist on Pilot Rock. To date, four of the routes have conservatively placed fixed anchors. To protect peregrine falcons and their nesting productivity at Pilot Rock, the south and east sides of Pilot Rock are subject to seasonal closures from February 1 to July 30 each year. These seasonal climbing restrictions may be lifted if the BLM determines that peregrine falcons are not nesting or confirms that their young have fledged and moved far enough away from the rock face to avoid disturbance by climbers.
Please note, new fixed anchors cannot be placed without prior BLM authorization.

FF Photo Challenge #15 - Love Is In The Air
Heart Rock in Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge!
According to local Legend if two people each have their hands on the rock while they kiss and it is the first time either of them have ever kissed anyone, they will fall so deeply in love that their love will last forever.

sadly these ornamental hybrids didn't display the gorgeously fragrant resin of the cistus ladanifer wild species but the flowers were perfection.

PERSONAL FUN FACT: Rock Cloe is one of those dolls that always makes me emotional. She was one of my very last Christmas presents from Dad, in 2011. Prior to the night that Dad purchased her for me, I had never really considered getting any dolls from the Rock line. They were easily overlooked compared to some of the more "tempting" lines like the Masquerade gals. Anyways, the story behind this Cloe is one of the most notorious ones in my doll collecting history. This was the very first year I had started collecting dolls again after a five year hiatus. It took me some time to get used to the way the dolls had changed after such a long break. I also had lost some of my identity as a collector, and therefore was very prone to listening to other collector's opinions, rather than forming my own. Of course, I found myself in the trap of thinking that the new dolls "weren't good enough." But that inner kid in me honestly was drawn to them. One of the first Bratz lines that really caught my eye was the 2010 Party collection. It all started with me finding Yasmin on clearance at Wal-Mart, and later Jade and Sasha on sale at Toys 'R' Us. One afternoon, a few days before Christmas, I casually mentioned to Dad that I was missing Party Cloe. We were on our way to do grocery shopping when this topic was brought up. Dad immediately said that the groceries could wait, and off we went on the quest to find Party Cloe. Long story short, after many hours and countless stores (and even eBay searches), Party Cloe could not be located. Dad did not want me to go home empty handed that night, so he bought me not one, but seven Bratz dolls. He did always know how to do overkill! I first got the set of Wild Wild West dolls at one store. But then on our last two stops of the evening, I spotted this lone Rock Cloe at a Wal-Mart. For the first time, I found myself intrigued by her teal highlighted hair and her rad outfit. Dad said he would get me Cloe too, and after stopping at Toys 'R' Us before heading home, he let me complete the line. I want to preface this by saying that we were very broke at the time, so it meant all that much more to me that Dad splurged on so many Bratz dolls for me, to ensure that I was happy that Christmas. There was a brief time that I felt disenchanted by the dolls. This was when I was heavily scrutinizing all my dollies and focusing on their "flaws." Since Cloe had such gross nylon hair and wasn't the same quality as the Bratz I grew up with, at some point I dismissed her. But after Dad's passing, I realized how ungrateful I had behaved, and I decided that from then on, I was going to love and appreciate my dolls to the fullest. It did take sometime for this mentality to feel natural, but now I see no flaws when I look at this Cloe. I love everything about her, even that nylon hair. She was the first doll I ever attempted to flat iron (besides some nappy haired American Girls). It took me quite a few treatments to finally get it perfect, but now her hair feels almost as wonderful as saran. Even if I had not managed to sort out her locks, Cloe would always be a treasured possession of mine. She will forever be a reminder of that last Christmas with Dad, his generosity, and the way I felt rediscovering my passion for dolls that year!

PERSONAL FUN FACT: Of the entire Rock line, I've always preferred Yasmin and Cloe's ensembles the most. Originally, I was more keen on Cloe's as it was a bit more casual seeming, and the sort of thing that I would have played with. But having owned the set since December 2011, I really got to appreciate Yasmin's ensemble on a whole new level. It's definitely not the most subtle, neutral outfit. But that's what I love about it. Her bright pink leopard print pants always catch my eyes as I skim my Barbie doll house filled with Bratz. I think Yasmin's medium skin tone looks shockingly great with this shade of pink. Plus, animal print really suits her--although usually it's Cloe who gets cheetah/leopard print clothes. While Yasmin's pants are a statement piece, her shirt and vest are far more versatile. It's kind of a shame that the camisole is sewn to this shirt, because it's so very gorgeous and delicate looking. I definitely would have gotten a lot of use out of it growing up. I love the vest too--this layered look of 2010/2011 Bratz dolls is one of my favorites styles through time to see on my bratty friends. I like how it is "acid washed" too! This outfit wouldn't be complete with golden guitar earrings and a hat. The hat tends to sink over Yasmin's beautiful face and cover her eyes, but I think it looks great with the outfit regardless. These are my favorite earrings from the line, and it's great that my doll can actually wear them (sometimes Bratz ear holes aren't punched in enough to accommodate factory earrings).
Was at a practice session to an awesome rock group named Bandwidth as they were preparing for their 10th anniversary concert in Singapore. They were sounding awesome. Rock on, Bandwidth!
The United States Congress designated the Table Rock Wilderness in 1984 and it now has a total of 5,781 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Oregon and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
A remnant of a lava flow that once covered this region along the western foothills of the Cascades, the "fortress" of Table Rock stands at 4,881 feet above the northeastern portion of this small Wilderness. On this steep and rugged terrain you'll find a quiet forest of Douglas fir and western hemlock, with noble fir at higher elevations and crowds of rhododendron on many of the upper slopes, an island of old growth in an ocean of forest development. At least two endangered plants bloom here: Oregon sullivantia and Gorman's aster. Deer and elk wander about in winter, and the northern spotted owl has been spotted among the old trees.
From four trailheads, about 17 miles of trails give access to the Wilderness. A relatively easy hike from Table Rock Road will take you up the Table Rock Trail to the sweeping vista from the summit of Table Rock, where the land falls suddenly away in basalt cliffs on the north face. From this high point, Mount Rainier looms far to the north, Bull of the Woods Wilderness beckons from the east, and the Willamette Valley spreads out to the south.
You will not find any reliable sources of potable water on the trails, so pack along your own. Horses may find dangerous footing on some of the talus slopes.
