Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

ABC Wednesday "V" is for "variegated"
I don't collect rocks...or then again, perhaps I do. I have two baskets full of stones I've picked up here and there during my travels. Variegated they are, or at least most of them.
Lovely, colorful and interesting rocks! I frequently pick them up when I'm at the beach when the tide is out and always find interesting ones. Hope your week is off to a good start! Enjoy!
Do you remember where you collected one from? Could be a great story here. I love this sort of collection - here at the Pacific Coast, we tend to look more for shells, but I know my girls collected fancy rocks when they were little. And my Dad even made a "pet rock" for one of them, complete with stand and engraving. lol
They have beautiful colors. I think I have one similar to the one in the lower middle. I don;t collect them either, but when I see a pretty one I pick it up.
Funny about those non-collectables. You said it best...very veriegated. Is that an obsidian rock too? I 1st encountered those on a hike btw Mammoth and June lake, by ... Obsidian Dome. What a marvel.
Lois does the same thing - picks up rocks from where we travel. She believes rocks have "energy" and especially likes crystals, which she believes, have "healing energy."
I'm not sure about all that, but she has some beautiful, "variegated" rocks!
I am not a collector, but have several collections others have begun for me .. mugs, friends travel and bring me back mugs .. and fridge magnets ... I wish often they'd send me money, I wouldnt mind collecting that .. of course I prefer to collect US dollars ... so if anyone wants to help me start collecting that, I am happy to receive dollars, cents ..
Rocks are one of my favorite things to bring home as souvenirs of my travels (my best ones are from beaches and extinct volcanoes on Greek islands). That's a lovely collection you have there!
Thanks so much for your contribution -hmmmmmmm do I collect anything? I would have to say duck and geese ornaments! Sadly we lost our gander last week but the wonderful photos, pictures and objects around our home will ensure his memory lives on!
I try to visit as many contributors as possible each week but sometimes I just dont manage it, but we have a great ABC team and between us we see that everybody gets a comment. We are coming to the end of the current round and plans are in store for the next round, I do hope you will be part of the fun! If you would like to be part of the team just drop me an e-mail :-

Would you call that the "Veriegated Rock and Roll"
Nice basket of rocks.
Nothing better than a bucket, basket or cache of rocks to admire. Nice grouping and terrific photo.
Very nice collection!
I'd say you do collect rocks, and very nice ones at that. I'm always picking up rocks from places I go. Even brought a few home from South Africa.
Je collectes les vieux appareils photos, les polaroids et les vieux romans policiers avec leur couverture d'origine

Such a wonderful collection of stones and such variety of color. I used to collect sea shells and liked how they each was so unique.
A real beautiful picture ! very creative !
Two baskets full or rocks sounds to me like a collection.
And yes ... I think I collect scooters -:)

Mmmmmm.... "smells" like a wonderful holiday at some nice beach.
How beautiful these rocks are - colored like jewels!
I have baskets of rocks myself that I collect all around Lake Michigan.
There is something about their permanence as witnesses to history that greatly appeals to me.
That was me who made that comment about rocks and Lake Michigan. Sorry!

Nicely done!
Interesting, then again, they all look unique. What do I collect? Old letters and cards from the ones I love...
I thought for a while about an eggplant in the middle of the rocks...
Yes a couple of rocks picked here and there and backscratchers!
Your picture is beautiful!

Of course you're a collector! Just not a hobbyist collector! LOL!
I'm attracted to rocks and stones, too. They're utterly fascinating! Love the colours in your collection!
First I saw bread or cookies...
may be it's a sign I am hungry!!
I collect rubans from the presentS I get!!!!
That's quite an assortment of rocks! Gets to be a heavy, heavy collection!
