…I think they’re fishing weights? Maybe?
I know they’re painted golf balls attached to rope. That much is obvious.
They were right by the shore, too. By an access point for boats, even. Well, at a lighthouse near said access point, but hey, it’s close.
If I knew more about fishing and coastal life, I might just know WHY there are painted golf balls sitting here.

I totally need a garden like this in my dream house. Waterfalls, rocks, Asian-themed statuary. It’s perfect.
Well, aside from the very utilitarian bridge in the background. That just doesn’t fit in. And I’m not big on white, either.
…I really do have an imaginary “perfect house” tucked into the corner of my brain. Water features, rocks, and Asiatic styles play pretty heavily in it. So do large open rooms with moveable dividers. Needs to be somewhere that gets a lot of rain too. I wander into it and imagine different parts whenever I’m feeling lost in life.
This garden would fit right in…

I’m quite sad that the red in these hills didn’t come through to the photo that well.
I mean, there’s some there, but in person? That’s quite a different experience. Those stripes just catch the eye, make you feel the intricate patterns of the earth. Reach towards you and tell you their stories, the dance of the eons.
Or maybe that’s just me. I hear tell that rocks don’t talk to other people, as crazy an idea as that is.

I like lichens. Do you like lichens? We all like lichens.
Or do you prefer rich lichens? Does snitching glitched lichens make you twitch?
It’s up to you, whatever you choose, it’s fine with me.
I’ll just be here, liking lichens.

Somehow this hill doesn’t quite look real.
I think it’s the perfect color gradient. Real life tends to be messy, and the only places you find such perfect gradients are in the sky and on very small things like flower petals.
Well, add cinder cones to that list, because that’s quite a marvelous blend between dark cinders and sun-lit cinders.
It really does look like something you can make in Photoshop in five seconds, though. Well, a minute, maybe. There is a touch of texture there, and some shadows. And there’s the section with actual vegetation, which would take a lot longer. But that hill? Selection tool, mark off the area, Gradient tool, fill it in. Easy peasy.
