As much as spring energy is in the air, I am going to divert myself and concentrate on digging into my stock pile of rocks over the next week or so. I just love creating abstracts – discovering small patterns and relationships – symbolism of other worlds, other times. The energy of spring fuels my motivation – and perhaps my immersion in these abstracts will provide new ideas towards spring.
This shot is of a rock called Jelly Bean Jasper. from some private dig site in Oregon. I would have named it Fire Lava Jasper myself personally, but I guess I missed the boat on that one.





You find some of the most interesting Rocks. 🙂
Thanks so much Carl.
Hey Mark,
I really like these images (including the ones you posted as follow ups), but as of this posting, this one is my favorite. Very cool. I love the way you see, man, great stuff. And your comments on abstracts above is right on.
Cheers
Carl
Thanks guys. More to come!
Hi Mark,
What a great abstract, it looks like the primordial creation of a new nebula or star system to me.

Very interesting abstract. I will look forward to seeing more rock abstracts in the week to come.
IMO too much impressionistic energy for something called “Jelly Bean.” Your suggestion seems more on target. It has an almost surreal look.
Hi, Mark –
I’m with you on this one – very evocative of primordial eruption!
Funnily enough, I just today came across the polarizing filter material I purchased ages ago on your recommendation – maybe this is a sign it’s time to finally do something with it… :^D
