I am so impressed you have taken such care to discourage the frogs from harming themselves .. you are a treat, Mr.W : ) I know .. you hate those happy faces but I can't help myself ??

I tend to bring home lots of unique stones myself, much to hubby's chagrin! I'd bring bigger ones home with me if I had any encouragement. <blockquote>Giddy, Go for it. I can't encourage you enough :)</blockquote> Gorgeous rocks! I tend to bring home lots of unique stones myself, much to hubby’s chagrin!

Giddy,
Go for it. I can’t encourage you enough :)

My best guess. But you were smart to grab it. It is really beautiful. It looks like what you might see under a piece of plastic over frozen water, or kind of like, you know when a tarp has been sitting outside and has water in it? Little channels form of sitting water (great for mosquito larvae!) and there are air pockets under the tarp that bubble it up. <blockquote>Pauline, I can almost see that. Like air bubbles trapped under ice in a stream - but how do they get filled? Glaciers have done some pretty fascinating things around here. I'm just happy I have a little piece of the puzzle.</blockquote> bubble rock may have been formed from glacier, combination of air pockets, silt movement, melt and pressure??? My best guess.

Pauline,
