Rippled Stone
I wouldn’t call rippled stone rare but you won’t find it easily. Every now and then a small amount gets pulled out of a sandstone quarry and I try to claim it before someone else does. It’s hard to imagine these ripples first formed millions of years ago by wave action on some shoreline and since that time have been set in stone.
The least I can do is return it to its natural habitat.
This is basically phase one of the Morley Library Raffle winner’s prize. I’ve removed the plastic ‘waterfalls’, the broken cinder block ‘rocks’ and leveled out the area. Now it’s time to play.
A good play day later.
The rippled stone is in place and once again has the company of water.

OMG that is beautiful! You did a fantastic job with that! I don’t know that i have ever seen rippled stone. It sure is amazing.
I don’t know how you move all that around all the time. I moved rocks today and cleaned out my waterbed pond and I had to have two beers to kill the pain in my neck/back(-: My rocks are little pebbles compared to your boulders. You must be Super Man.

I love the rippled stone and the way you have used it around your water feature.

Besides having many flowers in the garden, I wonder why you still need a picture of flower. Haha, you are a little greedy….

The stones are indeed snazzy and look nice in their new setting.

You are quite creative and the person who won the prize is very lucky to have you as his artist.
