The problem with rocks is they take a very long time to develop.... Far longer than many bonsai.
I have this one here that's been growing for a few years.
I end up telling it all my day to day problems (& sometimes my jokes too) - however like most people, it usually just rolls its eyes & basically ignores me.

It looks like a lot of your rocks are missing their eyes? They must really be old!

Yep PeterB, I couldn't possibly move = my rocks would need a truck of their own.I find myself slowing down near quarries and over bridges just to check out the "possibilities"....danger ! Danger!
I drove over to Perth last year and Up to Qld this year and boy my rock collection just multiplies itself. :palm:
