Bedrock Mortars
Bedrock mortars at Chitactac-Adams Heritage County Park. People used these to grind foods for thousands of years here as this particular area was inhabited for at least 3,000 years and probably longer. The mortars are right there to appreciate on a walk around the park. There are so many in various spots. I enjoy thinking about these, and the people who used them, and their descendants living in the Silicon Valley and other places today.

Rock on a Hill
Looking east over south San Jose. I imagine this rock being a meeting place for thousands of years. Meet for a picnic, meet for a date, meet to chat while the kids play. It looks like it is calling out to have people meet around it.
