If that darned tree weren’t in the way, you could see that this is a picture of a great big rock. A metamorphic monolith, for sure. At the lower left is diminutive little Karla, staring in awe at this monster’s magnificent massiveness. We call it House Rock.

Here Karla is shown ascending the “staircase,” on the opposite side of the Rock. It’s a huge sliver that has split away from the Mother Rock. It would be simple to put in a stairway to reach the roof of the Rock. Whether that will ever happen depends on whether we can come to terms with the immutable magnificence of the Rock.
A few hundred feet from here is another, similar rock located in a creek. Massive, metamorphic, and mossy, it has the interesting colors of dissolved elements dripping down its sides. Green, indicating copper. Purple, indicating grapes. And gray, indicating guano.
