rejectomorphStill testing to see what I can do with my picturetrail account. I'm hoping this one will be larger, and then I can go back and re-upload the others which came out too small here. (You can't edit the size at which a picture is displayed in the albums there-- you have to get it right the first time, or delete the pictures and start over, as far as I can tell.) I'm not sure if the different display size at the picturetrail site will translate to different picture display size here, or not. I'm about to find out.
This is a cropped section of a picture I took a few months ago. I liked the light on the new fence, and the angles and planes of the various objects. I'm sure that someone with a gift for photography (and with more skill, too) could have made something better than this out of the scene, but I was the only one there!
Ooooh, picture!
Rats! I put the wrong URL the first time, and had to go fetch the right one, so the right picture would show. Heh. Someday, I'll figure out how this computer stuff works.

The hydraulic gold mining in the late 19th century washed billions of them into the flood plains that fan out below the Sierra canyons. I suppose the great advantage of them as yard materials is that they don't need to be watered, and they probably do a good job of keeping the weeds down and (unlike the coarse gravel which was common a number of years ago) preventing the soil from being washed away in the sometimes torrential winter rains.
