There have only been 3 buds this year I missed the little bud stage but caught it as it was opening

One pic of chimney rock in the sunset

A couple panoramas    

I took this heart out into the sun on our walk way to take a picture of it to express my love an appreciation for a group of people.  Then I decided I bring out some other stones just for fun.

This little crystal is about a 1/2 inch in size and has the little ball of pyrite suspended inside it.

A herkimer diamond

Vogal cut amethyst from two separate ends

Aqua Aura Crystal

Two little rose quartz pieces with rutilations these are pretty rare to find as most rose quartz is too cloudy to see any rutilations if there are any.

Smokey quartz sphere

I decided to zoom in with the macro on the sphere to see what would happen with all the faults inside.

Then I decided to hold it in my hand instead of having it on the thyme from the walkway and the sun hitting caused this ray of light out the other side which is pretty neat.
