P is for Pebbles. I can’t stop looking at them. At one time I was always picking them up. Now there are just the photographs. Lots of them. 1356 images of pebbles in Jessica’s Nature Blog.

A large selection of them is displayed above, showing all kinds of rock types, colours, textures, patterns. Pebbles composed of sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic, and metasedimentary rocks.

You can click on any image to enlarge it and view in a gallery.

A wonderful gallery. The Deck at Dead Man’s Corner 18 has a very unusual pebble, or at least one I’ve never seen before.

Yes, an unusual one. The Whitstable residents decided to make an art installation out of a gabion of pebbles. See gabions as art and architecture https://natureinfocus.blog/2017/06/10/gabions-as-art-architecture/

Thank you, Emma. I have enjoyed photographing pebbles on the beach in the past but it has become decidedly more risky darting around on the water’s edge these days. I have a zoom but it is not quite the same as getting up close and personal.
