Kingfisher
I used this rock in a group setting and it was very effective. When I broke up the group the rock started to go into my rock tray but I began rotating it and suddenly saw the bird. I had the rock for years and never looked at it in a suiseki light. I found the perfect piece of mallee and here's stone art for you.

Re: Kingfisher
I agree - that is cool. I love stones, one day I will get into them more. At the moment, I just dont need another thing to water in this heat!!
Cheers,
