I was looking on my street and noticed for the first time just how many big rocks there are. When the city came through and 'beautified' our street, they decided to put in a bunch of rocks, boulders really and I think it's funny. I understand desert landscaping but there's an awful lot of big rocks on one street. These rocks are on the corner directly across the street from me.
These rocks are at the beginning of the hiking trail where I walk Falcor, right up against the sound wall to the freeway.
That's a good size boulder.
These rocks are right beside the green metal bench. And that's Falcor by the bench.
These rocks are across the street from the green metal bench.
Another good size boulder.
And here you have one of the green metal tree's that I've talked about before and in front of it are more rocks.
The people across the street liked the rocks so much that they added some to their yard. lol
My grandson likes to climb on these rocks. Like I said, there's a lot of rocks on just my street. I wonder what the Beautification brain storm sounded like, "Hey Mike, let's just drop a shit ton of rocks on a few streets and call it a day."
Oh, I like all these photos of rocks!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteMaybe they had a surplus of rocks to get rid of and said, 'hey, let's make them landscape art'. LOL
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't doubt it.
DeleteLittle or big snakes might find refuge under these rocks, so I wouldn't encourage the authorities to leave them on the street.
ReplyDeleteThe rocks have been here for years.
DeleteI like them - but am not a fan of snakes.
ReplyDeleteI'm not either.
DeleteWow! But I just say no to snakes!(lol) Hugs...
ReplyDeleteThe rocks have been here for years and I have yet to see a snake.
DeleteWell, at least no one has to worry about watering them.
ReplyDeleteTrue.
Deleteha well they are probably cheaper to keep "alive" then greenscapes Ha
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sure about that.
DeleteWell, I guess they were free? LOL, I like rocks, so I think it looks nice. We use some big rocks in our landscaping when we find them in the woods. I like to plant primroses around them.
ReplyDeleteI want some grass and flowers. lol
Deleteah yes they liked rocks
ReplyDeleteThey sure did.
DeleteThe placement of the rocks doesn't make sense to me. The metal tree is kind of cute...in a way...lol
ReplyDeleteThey just rolls the rocks here and there and were like, Yep looks good. lol
DeleteThe could've at least painted them!
ReplyDeleteLOL That would have been interesting.
DeleteI like rocks :)
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot.
DeleteYou won't have people stealing those rocks. :) I like the giant rocks, they look good there.
ReplyDeleteNo, no one is likely to steal them.
DeleteHa you might be right about what they were thinking! :) I always wonder too where all the boulders come from.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine where they got these rocks.
DeleteWell, I guess it doesn't require upkeep like grass lol
ReplyDeleteI like them though. They do that around here too.
Karen @ For What It's Worth
No upkeep necessary.
DeleteThey sure are biguns!
ReplyDeleteThey are.
DeleteRocks are big around here too, but some are placed to stop cars if they should go up into a residential area.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea.
DeleteQuite a bunch of them.
ReplyDeleteThey're all over the place.
DeleteI wonder where they nabbed them from to dump them around your neighborhood? 🤔
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit random.
It is a bit random. We live about 30 minutes from Red Rock and there are a lot of rocks out there. I wouldn't be surprised if they got them from there.
DeleteIt would have taken a lot of effort to move that many heavy rocks. Interesting landscaping for sure!
ReplyDeleteThey had a whole team out there doing it.
DeleteLOL They did go a bit rock crazy. Ours has some out and about and neighbors do, too. But not quite so many. lol
ReplyDeleteThey just went nuts with the rocks. Desert landscaping.
DeleteI don't mind a few big rocks or boulders … I can see why your grandson likes to climb on them :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
He loves climbing on them.
