Blackpool is famous for its "rock" which is a type of hard stick-shaped boiled sugar confectionery usually flavoured with peppermint or spearmint. Using a clever process they can put a name in the stick so that it runs all the way through it. This is not a self portrait! I hate the stuff :-(

Red Rock Canyon State Park features scenic desert cliffs, buttes and spectacular rock formations. The park is located where the southernmost tip of the Sierra Nevada converge with the El Paso Mountains. Each tributary canyon is unique, with vivid colors. After wet winters, the park's floral displays are notable. Wildlife includes roadrunners, hawks, lizards, mice and squirrels. Red Rock Canyon is an approximately 27,000 acres unit within the Mojave Sector of the Tehachapi District of the California State Park System, located along State Highway 14 in Kern County. Red Rock Canyon provides magnificent views of the pristine desert landscape, includes two natural preserves, and offers, among other recreation activities, camping, sightseeing, equestrian activities, hiking, and opportunities for reflection and solitude. -Wikipedia
Goodbye Hard Rock
Hard Rock Hotel
Paradise, Nevada
Another one bites the dust! Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is closing today after the Super Bowl and “One Great Last Party”. The property opened on March 9th 1995. It will close for about nine months as new owner Virgin Hotels renovates and rebrands the property Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. A few photos I’ve taken of the Hard Rock through the years.
LACMA's Rock (shrink-wrapped for protection) is being transported by Emmert International on a specially built flatbed trailer, 260 feet long and 32 feet wide.
Union Pacific's Rockford local crosses the Rock River in downtown as he heads west for their small yard. The crew will spot a couple of the steel cars to the west at Liebovich Steel and then take the gondola and the tank car up the KD Line for customers in Loves Park.
Did this close to three years ago. It has all the Rock Raiders sets I had at the time, plus some MOCs and custom minifigs.
The Blowing Rock legendary rock in North Carolina. Because of the odd angle things tossed off have been known to blow back up. Taken in North Carolina.
Rock climbers Joseph Healy and Bill Coe work to clear the top of Beacon Rock's SE Corner of loose and dangerous rocks before the area can be opened to the public for climbing.
The Rock Gardens at Leonardslee Gardens.
We had a beautiful day there and it's such a pity the place will soon be closing to the public.
These gardens are a mass of colour at this time of year and I'm so pleased I managed to make a visit there prior to closure.
Thank you for any comments you may leave.

Pinnacle of rock at Trefil Quarry which gives some idea as to why locals call it a miniature 'Monument Valley'.
Ilex verticillata nana - Red Sprite Winterberry
Juniperus squamata 'blue star' - Blue Star Juniper
Cotoneaster apiculatus 'tom thumb' - Tom Thumb Cotoneaster
This grouping of plants around the pond's edge for December. The cotoneaster stays nice into November and then has the bare, reddish branches one sees here.
Red sprite is a miniature form of the Michigan holly or winterberry, a deciduous native holly that grows in damp places.
Blue star juniper is a nice little compact form of the squamata juniper that ranges from blueish to shades of purple in the winter. The only drawback I have seen is the tendency to look less than happy in hot, humid weather and the somewhat brittle branches that can easily break if stepped on.
