There are some good size boulders in this wonderful stonewall. The Stonewalls in my area are at least a hundred years old and older.

This boulder is right outback of my cabin. The beech tree up front and forward is now touching the boulder as each year the tree grows a little bigger.

Thank You...
I'm hoping to get more and better boulders photos to enter. There are some great one's futher in the woods. The weather hasn't been user friendly for a good long hike.
(:

Soon. The weather Must begin to change, soon! I wish we had boulders! But except for a few Boulders scattered around that the glaciers drug here, we really don't have much for rocks.

Hello
@pragas888
Thank You...
Yes indeed I have heard about the
Partiko app.. Sounds awesome.
(:

Download it and try it out!

Oh what a lovely stonewall @annephilbrick! :-)
Boulders sure make for nice fences, long lasting
and so awesome to look at. That is a huge one
behind your tree! Cool pyramid shape to it.
Wonder if the tree will push or crack the boulder
in the future.

Thank you very much for posting these fantastic
stones for #bouldersunday!

Hello ...!!!
@shasta
Thank You.... You are most welcome. It is awesome so share what I so dearly see and enjoy...(:
The beech tree will more than likely continue to grow and form around the rock. I've seen many trees do that. It's pretty cool.

@annephilbrick what is the reason for the stone walls? And who built them. This intrigues me, I think it is awesome, but I love rocks, they rock. lol My husband tells me that someone who has a bad back should find another hobby than collecting rocks. But that is what I have him for...he can do the lifting. hehehehe

Hello...!! (:
@myjob
Alot of stones back in the day were picked out of the fields in clearing farm land. They would make walls to establish property boundaries and they also helped keeping the live stock contained.

@annephilbrick cool use of what you have on hand. Rock fences, I love it.

Looks good with the snow on it! :) We don't have boulders like that here... at least not easily visible.

Hello.....!! (:
@ackhoo
Thank You.
The snow definitely adds to the appearance.
There's no shortage of boulders in my area. I wish you had a few of them nearby. I love seeing so many and their all so different.

That stone looks like a triangle! :|

Howdy there annephilbrick! hey those are some great boulder photos and perfect for the tag. Do you suppose they get the boulders from fields or garden plots on the property or did they haul them up from a river?

Hello ...!!!
@janton
Where I live you don't have to go far stones,rocks or big boulders. There everywhere. The farmers had what was called a "stone-boat" pulled a by team of oxen or horses. You put stones on in and had them pull to it to where you wanted. People use tractors and trucks now.

howdy today annephilbrick! oh I see, that's interesting. And sounds like back-breaking work!
