Could not get the flash to show much, but it is there in many of them. Pinks, greens and blues.
No idea where they are from. The small jar was water filled and contained everything in the dish shown. Dish is 4" by 4".

Listen to the rock. The rock knows its destiny. It will guide you in fulfilling that.

However, I cannot recall seeing Virgin Valley with the red rinds I see on a couple of those.

They usually cut triplets from the thin waterlines.

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
