we have written here before about the different rock quarries we swim in each summer…
the recent warm temperatures have made it a perfect time for swimming, so this past weekend we headed out with some families to swim and camp for the night at one of the quarries nearby. while the children swam & played, i did my usual wander around and looked at all the patterns in the stone and textures. i love the lichens, wildflowers, and craggy plants that grow here. part of this quarry is still mined for stone, while the other part is abandoned and safe for swimming. we look forward to many days of swimming and exploring here this summer!
