Not really, but don't these rocks look like eggs in a rock nest?!
I found this cool natural formation of rocks in Pedernales Falls State Park
in Texas.

A fine look into this pothole, Lucy. The reds in the walls and the ruggedness of the foreground surface are very attractive. I'm sure you know, but for those who don't, these potholes are created by rushing water swirling the "dino eggs" around and around, grinding down both the eggs and enlarging the pot hole.

Thanks for explaining how these formed. As a geolpgist, I forget, that not everyone is well versed in the subject...my bad. I really appreciate your informative comment!

Hi Lucy,
Erosion makes for some elegant photography subjects. There's enough detail in the shadows to generate interest in the composition. The color patches are strong, but get the eyes down to look at the "dino eggs".......................Jim
