exploring nature’s infinite connections
You folks probably already know I am a sucker for cool-looking rocks, and if you don't - well - I have revealed my kryptonite. They are pretty cooperative subjects, they don't ask for much, work for free, and not demanding at all actually. They can look good in a...
