It's been a little over a month now since my move and I really havent been able to work with rocks but I have been exploring
Today was to be a trip south to The MN lapidary supply store but there is white stuff coming down and things to do around the property

Some pictures of my explorations.

(The big BIF was in my dads rock pile)

Great pictures, Ali! Love the little frog. He's so cute.

Help an old lady out -- BIF? Banded iron .... ? LOL. I haven't had enough coffee for my brain to function yet.

I like the assortment of pics. Beautiful scenery. I esp like that last picture. But, tell me how does that cute little frog survive with snow on the ground?

Nice rocks. I see you got a Mary Ellen. How on earth did that one rock get a perfect hole? Interesting.

The little frogs go underground and into hibernation
There were tons of them everywhere

I'm always amazed how the rocks get holes like that.

Boy, you must have good eyes, Ali. That little guy is so perfectly camouflaged I would have never spotted him. Great picture!

I think I found them.

Took me a while with my crappy eyeballs. I won't say where in case someone else is looking for them.

These 2 hang out around my work. Mom was killed by a car when they still had spots. Eventually they will move out of the area

Cute! I love seeing deer in the woods. My sister told me yesterday she and her husband saw a fork buck on the side of the road.
