a few of my favourite Hornby Island rocks with tidal pools
I dearly wished to take one home for my garden
instead many were homes for jellyfish and starfish
Just after I posted this, I came across a news item about the devastation of starfish all long the Pacific coast caused by Sea Star Wasting Syndrome. I remember how amazed we were to see so many that September of 2009. So sad.

picked an Easter bouquet of tulips from the garden
later, falling petals, almost as beautiful
remembering past withered petals, last tulips, and my most favourite tulipa, withering

While browsing through my digital photo albums looking for something else, I came across the Hornby Island 2009 folder with hundreds of images of fascinating rocks. Distracted and dreaming, I have been. Over the years a number of photos from that favourite island have been posted here from many visits, though not many from 2009. Here are a couple of images that appealed to me with their subtle details.
Oh, and if you are new and curious, or would like to revisit some of those past posts and photos about Hornby Island, try this search.
by Marja-Leena Easter 2014
a sunny Good Friday today, a sweet break between rainstorms
the garden is full of spring blooms including magnolias and camellias
Happy Easter to all! Hauskaa Pääsiäistä! Frohe Ostern!

a curious small stone with what seems to be thin layer of glazed tile on top
with mysterious star-like crackling, like a petroglyph
odd layering beneath with another glazed bit and white stone on the bottom
man-made? nature-made? both?
