Have a view of my daily photos or photos from my past. We all need to document the world around us visually. What I see is mostly what you get.

Three Sliced Rocks.....
My dad's rock collection included rocks that he found on or in the ground. It also included kinds of rocks that he would buy whole at a rock show and then would cut them into with his rock cutting saw. I can still hear the sound of the saw blade screeching as it cut through stone. The polishing process is the same as if you were to polish a metal, starting with a rough grade of sanding material and working down to a final polishing with a leather pad and rouge.

These are beautiful, Larry.
Wishing you and your wife a nice day. Hi to Barney and Button.
