I finished these a while ago, but I have been slow to take/post pictures (along with seemingly everything else). Most of these are from Utah, but one or two are from elsewhere. (I got all of them from Dan at KinesavaRocks.com)
(Click Image For Larger View)
Selected group shot  Agatized Barite - Utah   Golden Swirl - Utah?  Marvy Agate - Utah  Unsure - Utah  Agatized Horn Coral - Utah  Jasper - Nevada  Oolite or something  Petrified Wood - Utah    Pigeon Blood Agate - Utah (last two are of the same rock)        |

Those are beautiful, and your photography is awesome! Thanks! I love seeing all the designs/details that can be found in rocks; the photos help me see them better. |

Your tumbles and photos are exceptional!! I love seeing other people's stuff (including your fantastic cabs/photos), so I try to return the favor. |

Your tumbles and photos are exceptional!! I love seeing other people's stuff (including your fantastic cabs/photos), so I try to return the favor. I'm actually pretty envious of your photos! You're able to catch the "depth" within the pieces. I have no photo skills...and don't have the inkling to tackle something else...so I'll just take "ok" pics and be envious of yours! LOL Thanks by the way!  That second pic is a great example of the "depth" I'm talking about! I put a cab into the monthly contest...and it has a depth to it which I just can't capture like you can with your setup! Definitely drool-worthy pics!! |

Absolutely stunning! I can’t choose a favorite. Thanks for the show. It made my day. Thanks! I am partial, since I live out here, but there are so many neat rocks from the Western United States.
Wow, beautiful stones and great photography! Thank you! |

Those are some really beautiful tumbles. I love the last one too. It stood out to me in the first group picture. It looks like Morgan Hill PJ with a clear background!

Those are absolutely stunning. The last one also stood out to me from the first picture. What did you polish these in?

Oh my, I just loaded this thread on my computer for the first time. They were stunning (both rocks and pictures) on my phone, but dang! I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
I love that Nevada jasper.

The Pigeon Blood is fantastic. Great shaping and polish on the whole batch. Thanks for sharing!

Oh my, I just loaded this thread on my computer for the first time. They were stunning (both rocks and pictures) on my phone, but dang! I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. I love that Nevada jasper. Thanks, haha! I don't have a newsletter, but I try to post some photos here from time to time. The Pigeon Blood is fantastic. Great shaping and polish on the whole batch. Thanks for sharing! Yes, I love the Pigeon Blood as well! However, the name is not particularly appealing... |
