If my memory still serves me it's a boulder Sunday challenge today.

Quick and easy post.

It is if you don't live in Alberta.

Soil, dirt, and clay everywhere but no boulders.

I spent more than an hour to find a couple of wannabe boulders.

This post is more of a place holder for tomorrow's post but it is what it is.

When the farmers find the rock on the field they bring it to the farm and find a proper place for it.

By the road on the parking lot is a good place too.

If there is a tree stump nearby it's even better.

Carefully picked placed among flowers at the entrance to the arboretum in Edmonton.

I wonder where did they find this masterpiece.

I finally find the place where they live.

And here's a good example of how a real boulder should look like.

I needed to go all the way to Dubai mountains to show you this one.

Double dipping right here.

Why not?

Have a good and prosperous week, my friends.

Hello Oldtimer, it's always a pleasure to see your publications for good photos, but also what you write I like.

regards!

Haha. No there isn't a lot of boulders in Alberta. We drove once more than hout outside of Calgary once just to see an irregular ...a boulder left over from the last glacial retreat. Still boulders under the river weren't half bad at all:)

Once I read a post of a guy from Calgary.
Okotoks I think is the name of the town and indigenous name for a big rock.

That could be it. Although the irregular was out of town. It was pretty big to be honest with you and quite interesting given the milleniums of erosion:)

These are some really wonderful boulder photographs @oldtimer! :-)
The one in Dubai looks really huge! I like the boulders by the tree stump.
Rocks and wood look so good together along with flowers!
Beautiful view where they live. Thank you for showing these awesome stones!

Great pics 😎📷👍
