fine specimens...



Two people can look over the same rocks and see different things. 
One will see a lump of chert, the other a sea urchin.

I'm enjoying this book. Just need to find the time to get to the last page! It's a story about female friendship and fossil hunting set in 19th century England. Reminds me of the natural objects I used to collect as a child. Not fossils per se but things like feathers, stones, pinecones and driftwood. I've kept this lovely yellow shell for many years. How about you?


P.S I'm not big on heavy photo editing but today I had a play around with one of our Aperture library plugins. Applied this preset using HDR Efex Pro (Nik software) and quite like the result.
