This is my entry for #bouldersunday by 
@shasta in the cool Alaska where powerful mountains surround you and the rocks grow out of the river and giants of the past hurled boulders into the sea, just to test their own strength.
My walk along narrow roads off the usual main road made me notice how local gardeners tried to beautify their garden by placing rocks among the plants.
This kind of garden design in front of a luxurious condominium project seemed rather odd to me as if these rocks were brought in as a last thought. They were placed along the border of the flower bed.
The Chinese Feng Shui pays a lot of attention on rocks and boulders placement around the house. Rocks are seen as giving protection and prosperity to the owners and people who are living in the house. The shape of the rocks and their colours are also important to proper placement of these rocks. The fees for having famous Feng Shui masters to do proper placement of Feng Shui objects can be incredibly expensive especially for financial or bankers’ establishment.
These rocks gave me a strange feeling as if they were telling me that they did not like to be separated from each other. I thought perhaps they were placed there to prevent people from sitting by the flower bed. Each rock had its own character and personality; some seemed aloof and very much a loner, some would like to have friendly attention.
Some of these rocks looked as if they had been in a river or stream for hundreds of years. I could not spend more time with these rocks as people were watching me taking photos. Most people do not understand rocks or see the beauty of rocks. These rocks are much older than us; they have observed so many happenings in this world so they have lots of wisdom.
I was a bit sad to see these rocks under social distancing even though they could not be infected by the coronavirus. I hope that they would be able to have their own rocks party at night when no one was watching. At least they had a friendly horse as their protector.
Wishing you all a very productive week.
Cheers.
