Change of perspective

When I was younger, there was a place I liked to go.   It was a big flat rock behind the house.  The rock had some trees growing on it.  The rock seems big, in my memory.  I recently returned to that place and found that the rock wasn't that big.  It seems to have shrunk.

They aren't all clear but the rock is there, under the moss, parly in the ground  There is a  the back of the rock that is more above ground than the front part.  The place where the rock is is part of a slope  As we follow the slope toward the higher ground, we arrive higher in the mountain..  Yep, the slope is a part of a mountain.  It is pretty cool to have a mountain and a forest combined inthe backyard.
