I don’t think that I would describe myself as a collector but in the past year or two, I do seem to have … collected … quite a few stones.  Each has a different shape or thread of color.  I can’t remember where I picked them up.  I don’t expect to keep them forever.  I like to give such things to little friends of the four to five-year old variety.  Maybe one day they too will photograph their stony treasures.
