Close up image of petrified wood with agate replacement in hues of yellow and green, the wood grain is visible.
Have you met my favorite piece of petrified wood? The oolitic agate replacement is just so unique and lovely!

#beauty #green #rockhounding #nature #hiking This evening's hike was wet, windy, exhilarating, perfect. This lovely green chalcedony nodule appeared in a little coastal creek as light was fading. 🫶🏼💚
Humbling.
We love you, Puddles

Akamaru is the sweetest pup. He really loves his human and gets sad when he leaves. Gaudium the kitty really loves trying to snuggle his lonely friend.

Isaiah Mr. Meow Meow the Adventure Kitty was found trespassing upon a work in progress blanket for my baby niece. The niece is most excellent. The cat is most questionable.
Wait so the costuming was legitimate to the human? God I hate the weird things they told me when I was a kid.
🫶🏼 this is why it is convenient for someone like me with no memory and interest in everything to be with a person who is a data hoarder. My spicy little heart is so happy.
So the husband keeps telling me that I will not believe how big the spinal column hole is and I keep telling him to take way better pictures for me and to get me more information on the skull. So he went and scanned it and made a printable 3D model type thing using free technology.

I report this thing to the proper authorities, but it had washed up from a different beach where it had first been reported. King tide after king tide passes and this thing only just moves around the same beach. For months and months now I can smell this animal from about half mile away. 🧵
So a few months back I was driving down highway 101 as a passenger and I yell, Oh my God, I think I saw a whale. We had to turn around the car and sure enough there was this dead 15' calf. It was the only opportunity I would ever have to see one close, so I went & visited this horrendous corpse. 🧵

I was dying because I literally had to show this to someone. Thank you for your time lol

I found a deceased grey whale calf a while back. My husband made me this today because the smell panics me terribly, but I wish I could see it more closely. People take its bones, which is a crime.
Would you like to hang out in the world's largest sea cave with 80 plus of my besties? #sealion #oregon #pnw #ocean #cave #nature #exploring
I think there was one that was like gift wrapped? Maybe decorated? I haven't seen it in years but I would like to...
Been thinking about the fancy one from Rome for how ever long ago you mentioned it in a thread. 🤦🏻♀️
Are we basically crowdsourcing shows that show enough dick at this point?
You can make a salt gun out of any small cylinder. Ours was a film canister. Cut off the end & put on a chunk of balloon held on with a rubber band. Put a pinch of salt on the balloon and pull it back a bit. The salt flies out like buckshot. Makes your walls red.
When sleep won't come, keeping company with the stars is not such a bad gig.

Same at our house.
Hahahahaha
Thank you so much!
A fully lit hanukkiah made out of a small piece of driftwood and polished agates.
I made this hanukkiah for the children in my classroom to enjoy. Once just a piece of driftwood, and agates I polished. Now, some light in the darkness. I hope they know how much they are loved. Photo taken 8th night style. #Hanukkah #menorah #light #candle #rockhounding #firstnight
I just took these. The images that work better were actually taken with a small little flashlight. My big torch was kind of too much.
Realignment of the Stars, the directorship is now licensed under my name, and I have the credit card. I just announced to everyone to stop acting like art supplies come directly out of their paychecks. I've never been so happy to liberate a bunch of teachers and students from a sense of lack.
I have so many vampire questions, both modern era and antiquity.

Drove 85 mi after work to take a quick hike by the sea.
The sun set at 4:19 and in the rain and clouds I had to be careful making it back to where I had left my car. Thanksgiving is not really my thing but I am very grateful for the nature around me. #hiking #pnw #oregon #rockhounding #nature

Took a nice little hike around a drained reservoir yesterday morning. Trekking about in the silt and quicksand is really good exercise. #hiking #tracking #rockhounding #oregon #pnw #reservoir

How is your #Caturday going?
Isaiah Mr. Meow Meow the Adventure Kitty remains uniquely photogenic.
