Just the back yard!? Nah, I want the front and side yards landscaped in natives too.

Hauling Rocks

After leaving the rocks I brought home (back in August) where I dropped them, today I began hauling them to the backyard slope...where, eventually, I will piece them together (the best I can) to create the look of a rocky cliff outcropping.   My goal is to create a rocky cliff with a stream and waterfall ...as l running through it.

Here are pics of the cliff where I got them...





Here is a little inspiration from a local, natural stream:


 Here are about 1/3 of the total I collected.   I dropped them mostly haphazardly on the slope above the pond.


Too bad I didn't get at least twice as many rocks...but, hopefully, the final result will look natural.

A few rocks seem to naturally fit together, but time will tell if I have an eye for piecing this puzzle together.
