Stones
Heavy Lifting Morels
These are morel mushrooms. I photographed them just as I found them. As you can see, they were growing in a rocky area. It seems, as they grew, they picked up a couple of stones between them. They remind me of a pair of hands with mittens reaching up from the rocks.
Morels are edible and highly prized by their culinary fans. My wife is a true fan…as in fanatic. Her passion lies as much (or more) in finding them than eating them. It’s hard to keep her out of the woods this time of year.

Pebble Beach
Superior Rock Collection
On a summer trip to the shore of Lake Superior, a few years ago, we had the opportunity to wade through the clear, icy cold waters.
This is a collection of colorful rocks in the shallow water near the Wisconsin shore of Lake Superior.
I used this as my desktop wallpaper for a long time and always thought it would be a challenging image for a large puzzle.
