My technique for not bringing home pocketfuls of beach rocks is portrait photography.

@GPJohnston I carried the green one for the longest. Very satisfying shape to hold

[anguinea@mstdn.social]

@beandreams
I love this! I want to see all of the rocks!

(Btw I take pics at antique stores for this same reason.)

[beandreams@friendhole.social]

@anguinea That is so smart!

@beandreams Rocks with lines in them are my special favorite.

[mtechman@mastodon.ie]

@beandreams it's a great idea!

@beandreams Good stuff! I think we need a #FoundRocks or #RockPortraits (or something) hashtag to keep the fun going and encourage others to participate.

@ksclarke Like #StickNation 🪾

@beandreams @GPJohnston The green one was my favorite, too. ️

@beandreams okay but thats a totally cool rock that I would recommend you take home

relatedly when I was 5 my plastic playhouse floor was covered with cool rocks so you couldn't walk in it
