Since learning the great news that i was accepted into UBC's MLA program, and my Spuraway project is basically finished, my mind has been at rest, and i feel very happy.
My current state of mind, the great weather we've been having, and seeing the scene pictured below, has re-sparked an interest of mine in Rock balancing.
The last time i had the state of mind to sit worry-free, by the river and play with rocks for hours, was in highschool. I briefly got into rock balancing then, but not too seriously.
This photo was posted in my latest entry - This scene and the success of its photo reminded me of rock balancing.

The trail i take along the Capilano River to get to Park Royal is very nice, and has some great rocks for balancing. Here are some pictures of my balanced rocks.





i strongly recommend rock balancing. Its a very relaxing pastime, and it's also mentally stimulating. It can be likened to playing with very advanced Legos: You have to find the pieces that fit or mould into one another, establish a point of balance, and then stack.
There is also a sense of accomplishment one feels when stepping back, and looking at the sophisticated structure just created.
Searching "rock balancing" on Google Image shows a number of extraordinary balanced rock photos. will i ever be that good?
