Over the last several weeks I have done quite  a bit of stone balancing even just within our own landscape. The balances have remained intact since I completed each of them.

Interesting...this morning inbetween 8:45 and 10:00, two of the balances had toppled.
OK---no time to bother thinking about that right then.

I was out of the area from 10:00 until @1:30; during that time five more balances had toppled?   Hummm...I wondered if...
Yes!  I now have 'gauges' that tell me if we've had even slight earthquakes in our area.

Google answered my curiosity;  California has been experiencing earthquakes all day today.  Several of which were in Central California (our area) during the specific time periods when my balances toppled. 

Again interesting...the only balances that did topple were all in the upper driveway portion of our property.  The one in this photo remained intact ;-) (It is on the other side of our property, away from the front driveway area)

Instead of posting another (beautiful) Iris, I am sharing one of the images I included today as I have been adding to a gallery of our town and its surrounding area:
