Water-tumbled stones and brick on the shore of Lake Ontario
S is for STONE SHELTER
These lake-washed stones and brick reminded me that both are used as building materials for...
Stone house
fancy shelters and...
Stone cottage
not-so-fancy shelters and even...
Stone barn foundation
shelters for animals.

Oh how beautiful.....both the homes and the watery stone shot. You have such a talent!
Great pics, I especially like the first one. Nice texture on the rocks.
love the stone work. so cool. great shots. ( :
We dragged home a load of pretty rocks from the shores of Lake Superior and I still see some of them here and there. I really like that place but it took a long time to get there.
Great pictures, and I would love to live in a house built with those pretty stones.
Hi! Stone house and stone cottage photos are very cool.
Wishing you a wonderful day.
Top photo is truly tops! Stones always fascinate and intrigue me. I collect them from favorite places. I wouldn't mind having a cottage like the one you featured.
Beautiful photos! I love how that red brick has been smoothed down so much from the waves and not doubt, ice, over the years. That barn is beautiful!
I love collecting stones and imagining where they might of been.
Lovely series of photos.
i like all these stone buildings, the small stone cottage is my favorite. we have a few stone cottages here, built back in the 20's...i like that first shot of what the water does to stones and even a brick...
I'm always amazed at the variety of rocks in our lakes and rivers. Being wet, shows off their colours to the best advantage.
Reminds me of the river rocks in Arizona. But if they're on federal lands, you're not allowed to take them.
So many uses and so many styles!
Oh, I just love stone buildings. Beautiful!
Super shots of the stone built houses EG, the top house is classically perfect, but there's something about the second that really appeals to me.
I liked the pebble very much. It has a definite shape. Great post on stones.
Fun to see the stones used in construction. They are quite pretty just by themselves in the water tho.

I would have had to pull that red rolled stone from the water and take it home. I absolutely love stone homes and barns.
If I had my wish, I'd live in a stone house. Our old place in Ocala had a limestone facade and fireplace which were nice. No stone on this house.
And I love those washed stones...when they get washed enough they look like jewelry. I used to find washed glass in Lake Superior in Duluth and those pieces were beautiful!
gorgeous in any form.
Great images both the stones and the buildings, the snow seems to be lingering too.
Those stones are perfect for building and really seem to make the structures blend into the environment.
That stone house is gorgeous! The stones and unique architecture make this a real stunner.
Ooh, very lovely S choices! I am fascinated by that stone barn foundation, what a contrast with the rest of the building! Stones are so timeless and nice to see them used in so many structures.
I love that stone cottage!
I think stones make the most beautiful of building materials.
Lubię domy z kamienia i te stare i te nowe. Pozdrawiam.
I like houses made of stone and the old and the new. Yours.
Love this post... Can just feel the wetness in the first picture, and the buildings are wonderful!
Love all the stone stuff. The rocks in the water are so peaceful. I do love a stone house too. Nice shots. MB
We were fascinated by the stone walls and construction when we traveled up the East Coast.
Love the stone work on the barn. Beautiful!

rocks is always beautiful when they are in water. :)

These are ALL so cool. I love that brick-colored stone.
=)
I would LOVE to live in that beautiful stone house!
You find such Beauty - Then you share - and Lift our spirits. Thanks!
The stone house and cottage are lovely. They would stand out down here. We don't have very many stone houses.
Loved your sequence of shots! We have quite a few old stone buildings in our area. ...Well, old for here, ...not ancient old like the Holy Land or even Europe!
What beautiful, refreshing photos! Thank you so much for taking us on this journey.
The stone work is so beautiful. Wow! I love these!
These show exactly why I love stone. Lorelei done loves rocks/stones...I am training her early. LOL

Visiting from Rurality...Love the barn's foundation...nice series of shots♫ My Rurality: http://lore-eleven.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-positive-negative.html
Those are nice stone structures, Ms. T.G. Most stones when polished and some even just wetted are very pretty. On my bucket list is a stone and/or small rock tumbler.
I've wished for one ever since 1960 when I first met a hobbiest with one.

Lovely *S* post – great photography especially the texture on the rocks!
Have a great Easter,
Visiting from Alphabe-Thursday
I love stone buildings - especially all the limestone around Kingston, Ontario. There is little stone used in building out here, despite the abundance of stone on the island. Your shots remind me of how much I miss Ontario architecture.
What beautiful stone structures. I just love that barn.
I love the stone buildings!
I love rocks/stone! That's why they appear in several of my paintings:) Have a happy Easter!
Stones in the water make an awesome contrast. I especially like the stone based barn. Great photos, as usual. You have a good eye for unusual beauty.
Those stones look brilliant
Nature at it's best. Love the stones in the water.
Stone cottage? I want one. Beautiful.
Please try to get a peak inside that wonderful stone cottage -- it is enchanting.
