I just spent several days on a roadtrip with the absolutely gorgeous 🧙🏻‍♂️🥰 and the tiny gremlin 🐶 🥰.
Day one consisted of a dead Tarago alternator before we'd even begun. Mum kindly lent us her van, and my kind, patient, and thoughtful partner was so calming.
Now 😴 for 6 am🛫

This time of year can be very different for different ppl. I hope that you've had @ best a wonderful time and @ worst not a shitty time. ❤️

This was the happiest Christmas I've had in a while. I spent 2 days with the gorgeous 🧙🏻‍♂️, & we spent our time in fabulous company visiting fam. 🥰

So many beautiful things in one image. ❤️
Feral Hearts

Two odd beings find tenderness, or a quiet kind of love that doesn’t need naming. What they find together may be love, or safety, or simply the relief of being seen. The world around them mirrors this truth: bones feed roots, insects thrive, and so-called unwanted beings persist. -

So my theory is that I've found a contact aureole. I'm relatively sure that the beach has Quartzite, Adinole, Hornfels, and some Skarn. 😊🪨❤️

*Not all pictured here.

Not clear, but a beautiful agate found at the secret beach today (a tiny beach near my place you wouldn't know was there unless your dog discovered it during a walk when she was a puppy because she's obsessed with water).

Honestly I have no idea what's going on here - it's the only one like this I've ever seen at the secret beach, and the selection of rocks found there is pretty standard.

No glacial action etc.

I dig it.

I took Hazel 🐶 to the secret beach today. I haven't been for months because 1) the weather hasn't been amazing, and more importantly 2) I had to ban myself from going because I bring too many rocks home.

Oops. 😬🪨😍

I took Hazel 🐶 to our secret beach this afternoon.
The grass along the path has been very busy!

For 5 Summers I've taken Hazel 🐶 for a short roadtrip somewhere in our beautiful state.
These trips are really special to me.
This year we get to bring the gorgeous 🧙🏻‍♂️ with us and it makes me so incredibly happy to get to share some of my favourite places with him. 🚙🏖️🐚🩴🦀🪨🥹🧙🏻‍♂️🐶🥰🌈

I am very tired but it's been a good day and I've kicked the malaise.

I was searching for chert ventifact images and stumbled upon this geologist's photogrammetry portfolio. I'm obsessed!

Marathon 10.5 hour session sorting out the club storage room and equipment. Made infinitely less shitty by my wonderful partner 🧙🏻‍♂️ helping check and count equipment. 😍
I'd still be there if I hadn't remembered that the alarm arms itself at midnight. I was out the door at 11:59 pm. 😬
My back hurts. 😭

I'm pretty sure I had 2 dreams last night, with the second referencing the first.
1: Took doggo beach hopping & looking for rocks - left a couple of rocks behind.
2: Found myself at one of the beaches again & only realised when I saw one of said rocks which was now cleaner from the water & = agate.🪨
