Painted stones/rocks are always fun to find when on hikes.
These ones we did not find in a hike, but in the Fairy Garden at Coldwater. It was waiting for more painted rocks.
While these ones are all natural and common at Kincardine Beach.
“There is life in a stone. Any stone that sits in a field or lies on a beach takes on the memory of that place. You can feel that stones have witnessed so many things.” ~ Andy Goldsworthy
