A few images from the woods after it rained during the night for hours a few days ago. I love how the leaves at the waterfall showed how much water was flowing at one point at the peak. Quite a defined line. ~Gretchen

I found this smoothed 1 inch piece of glass in a local creek bed. The shade of green was very obvious in with the shale. Suspicions were confirmed it does glow under uv, thinking it might be a piece of jadeite? Cool! ~Gretchen
