All the more reason people should be careful and NOT step on any of the sandy parts that are on the rocks, because that is where the plants grow!! (I am hoping that someone will see this who walks over Arabia Mountain and it will remind them to step only on the grey rock!!)<br />Thanks for your comment, Barbara!

We have these geese that live in this area year round, so maybe he lives nearby (we have never seen one here before) and also, I read that Canada geese have "resting places" when they migrate, maybe Arabia Mountain is a resting place. It would be a good one! <br />And you are right, the flowers are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!! :-)Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-60816639284727949132013-04-15T08:35:01.893-04:002013-04-15T08:35:01.893-04:00The plant life is very different on the monadnocks...The plant life is very different on the monadnocks in Georgia.
