“Look What I Found”

I have taken on a new project with the TGO Photo Club: “Encouraging you to share your summer (Spring, Winter, Fall too) experiences through this web site.”

Telling your summer story is easy. The iphone camera is with us most of  the time – use it, then send your photos to      jimbrubaker@earthlink.net  

If you have no photos but want to tell a story – send that to me. If you only have photos and no story, send them to me.  This web-site will evolve – I will find a place to post what you want to share.

After you have read this Front Page, click on the Photo Page to the left.

Here is one of my stories for the Spring of 2018. I call it  “Look what I found.”

Painted stones – See the little blue painted stone. There is actually a second stone – can you find it?

The cute Panda and Smily face.

I wondered what this was all about, so, I went to the internet and Googled “Hidden small painted stones.”  This news article popped up:

“Kids ditch technology to join global painted rock hide and seek craze”

ABC – South West WA By Michael Black – Updated Sun 11 Mar 2018, 9:14pm

“A new global craze has kids all over the world getting outdoors to play hide and seek with hand-painted rocks.

It has been praised as a cheap and easy way to get kids away from technology and outside.

The hidden rocks are typically small, flat garden stones with a simple picture or a nice message painted on either side.

The rocks are hidden in parks, with photos posted on a Facebook page so other parents can take their children to find the rocks, then re-hide them somewhere else.

The trend started in America and has spread to many different countries, including Australia.”

So a hunting we did go and found more rocks in TGO:

Did you see this second painted rock. “Love” at Baytree.

How about on the hand rail of the Nature Trail bridge?

It’s message is “Wish upon a star”

On a Nature Trail fence post – “Two for one.”

Maybe you found some painted rocks that you would like to share on this web-site.

Send me photos

Bye for now!
