    Talking Naming Rocks

    Taken in Guadalupe Canyon Hot Springs in Mexico. Some people identify shapes in clouds, but since there's not many clouds on the west coast, we have to use rocks instead

    All these names are ones we made up, not formal designations..

    Fish Rock



    Frog Rock



    Lion's Head Rock

    nice

    I quickly figured out the figures in 1 and 3

    2) I do not see the frog, but I see an eagle at the bottom of the rock

    Armando -
    Eagle? Now I can't see that.
    A better description would be "Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtle" rock, profile view. You see it now? The eye is at the top.

    The line across is the mouth, the dimple is almost a nostril. It's the head, not the whole turtle.

    I found his eagle, too. Turtle's mouth is the top, beak is to the right, using the crack across the bottom of the rock.

    Lion's head took me a while.

    At least with these you can take your time to find stuff or describe to your friends. Clouds are just too dynamic, people miss stuff and then don't believe you.

    We're all nuts.

    I also see a Rhino at the bottom of the #2 rock.
