A beautiful group from Ireland. It must be difficult to farm in Co. Clare, judging from your interesting photo of the farmland.

True, but unfortunately Clare isn't the only place such photos can be taken.

Another set of 'boulders', big and small, from our travels:
Your Petoskey rock struck a cord with me because it matches the pattern in a similar rock I once found on the shores of Lough Gill, in Co. Sligo, Ireland - just across from the Isle of Innisfree. My piece was cylindrical, about maybe 1" in radius and 3" or 4" in length, with that same radial pattern showing at both ends - not polished, of course. I brought it home and a geologist friend of mine said it was a coral fossil. So I looked up Petoskey, which I had never heard of till now, and Wikipedia says it is also coral (as I suspected, if my friend was to be correct). I guess mine represented just one organism, as opposed to the numerous animals fossilised in your treasure.
Fans of W.B. Yeats may recall his poem, The Lake Isle of Innisfree. I wonder if he found any Petoskey rocks?
Your hand polishing is awesome.

I like the tree over rock - reminds me of the creations of some Bonsai artists

Thanks Pat - but I'll have to review my understanding of the word "sweet"

P26- I give another vote for the Forth Bridge in Scotland! All around a good variety of photos and locations.
Glad you enjoyed them - yes, that bridge is stunning, and I liked the vantage point to which my friend led me. I don't thionk I have seen other Forth Bridge photos from that perspective.
