The video is star-studded with previously encountered painted rocks. The rock star treatment includes starshape outlining of the 48 rocks and two limestone path enders.
My topic evolved from revisiting "Painted Rocks Borderline" (article | video), from 2018. At that time, I used Dreamweaver for web page, PaintShopPro for graphics, and MS Movie Maker for video. Since then, I've moved on to Bluefish for web page, GIMP for graphics, and OpenShot for video.
I concluded I no longer had the raw video input(s), so picked my finished 2018 video apart and used newer skills and different on it. I gave it star quality with wordplay and imagery renovations/innovations. The video's rocks piqued my wordplay about rocks.
Rock Theme Playlist for the Blog Topic
Rock and roll was a natural inspiration for my painted rocks topic. I've created a playlist with songs that include "rock". Eh, MOST of listed songs have "rock" in their titles. Exceptions are "No Man Is An Island" (opposite sentiment to "I Am a Rock"), "Rocket Man" ("rock" syllable), "Roxanne" (phonetically includes "rock").
"Life Is a Rock" by Reunion is my anthem choice. The first listed version in the playlist has no lyrics. The second one has lyrics; the chorus is Reunion's, but a DJ does the narration parts. BTW, I made it a point to gather YT vids that included lyrics. Enjoy the good rockin' music!
Mini-background on Painted Rocks Trend
About a decade ago, painted rocks were trendy, mostly individual ones left for others to find. In 2018, I published a blog article pertaining to a neighborhood painted-rocks path. I also uploaded a video featuring the path, 48 painted rocks, "bracketed" by a couple of larger limestone rocks. The blog article "Painted Rocks Borderline" ( includes sections titled "Rocks and Pebbles" (size differentiations) and "Painted Rocks Background" (kindness rocks).
