Terry, Thanks for the comment. The odd size and shape of the rock and the color caught my interest, along with wondering how it came to rest where it did. It certainly didn't belong there (its as if it "landed" from somewhere). It is much larger than those nearby and has a distinct colour,.. I assume thru natural weathering over time,... or negative environmental impacts.
Maddog, thanks for the comment, yes the colour had much to do with this capture. I'll pay more attention next time to make sure of the portrait orientations when posting.
