Well...looks like you already know where to find the best stones...the shores of Lake Ontario.
Good challenge for me...since I just spent a lot of time in the past few weeks taking pictures of stones on Crescent Beach.
I call it Beach Stone Art ... I love the way they look after a rain when the waves and water bring out the colour.

Wow, Mikell. Good timing indeed.
I am strong, because I've been weak.
I am fearless, because I've been afraid.
I am wise, because I've been foolish.

I have a stupid question. Just want specifics on this challenge. What is considered stones? Do you consider stones and rocks the same? Do rock formations count?
Mikell, I really like the 3rd one in your series, the tiger rock is really cool! I have never seen stones like that before.
