Hiya Folks,
I promised pictures, so here are some to get your eye’s around Hope you like them, because they are all gifts from the AWESOME Poetry of Images Contest!!! Thanks Guys!!
I was lucky enough to be honored by the fabulous LadyBeabea and 2 other outstanding members of the gang, Firewalker and Nephrite. To be honest I really didn't do much, other than enjoy your wonderful poems, and tell you how much I enjoyed them!! So to receive this astonishing tribute was a TOTAL SURPRISE!!!!
Tony, Daniel, Kate - Thank You So Much! I was not really expecting a kind and generous prize, but what has arrived has really put a smile on my face, I hope you all enjoy them too. ;D
OK - So in no particular order, lets have a look at this stuff! We all know Kate likes her shells, and that in sunny Florida there are no rocks at all. I really was honored when I opened my surprise package to reveal this incredible pair of Florida Treasures!! A superb Fossil Shell Cluster with lots of spirally crazy shells!! ;D ;D
And an incredibly beautiful Fossil “Worm Rock” Colony, ;D ;D
These are such amazing treasures, and I know just how much Kate enjoys her shells so these were very graciously received, Thank You! Then I found another special treasure, a lovely big chunk of aquamarine!!!! Kate - this will be carefully polished and prepared, it's a VERY SPECIAL ROCK ;D How cool looking is this!
There was also another exciting little package with a stunning chunk of pet wood kindly given to Lady B by our very own Texas Woodie! Well - It will be greatly treasured here I can assure you, thanks so much! ;D ;D
Then I found a smaller bubble wrapped item, upon closer inspection was a very carefully packaged cabochon, a Jade Cabochon, A Stunning Jade Cab which I will display to anyone who wants to see it!!! Thanks So Much Tony!!! That’s just awesome!!! Your Pacific Jade is so much more stunning in person, the camera really doesn't capture the beauty of this piece, but here it is anyway!!! ;D
I was still in shock when I found Daniel’s special extras I didn’t realise what was about to appear! I unwrapped this beauty! A fabulous chunk of Rhodocrosite, banded and beautiful, Excellent!!! Thanks Daniel!! ;D
Ooooh - What’s this flat piece also from Daniel? It’s very very well wrapped, “Oh.... Oh Wow!!!! Susie!!!!! Come and Look at This Rock!!!!!” - A slab of perfect Picture Jasper!!!! Daniel this is INSPIRATIONAL ROCK!!!!! I’m getting a saw as soon as I can, and you'll be getting plenty of wicked slabs from me - I can promise you that! ;D ;D Thanks SO MUCH!!!! I LOVE this rock!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Just a little close-up for your extra delectation!!! I think I can see a little rock hound cracking away at a boulder down there in the valley WOW!!!!! ;D
This has just blown me completely away, I spent a good hour happily unwrapping and absorbing these wonderful stones and shells, and just to help “pad out” the package LadyB had also included a lovely selection of other rocks, I’m sure some of you will be able to help me out as to identities, What can I say to this amazingly generous display??? Kate - Daniel - Tony and EVERYONE HERE AT RTH!!! Thank You!!!! It was just brilliant!!!! I can’t believe you guys, I really am very grateful! ;D ;D
Kate, it was an incredible contest that left a very warm glow in my soul, thanks for everything!! I hope you enjoyed this little tour through an astonishingly generous honor with which I was very kindly bestowed. Thanks to all who contributed to the contest! RTH Rocks!!!! ;D ;D ;D
Cheers,
Harry.
