#APicADay 2020: Day 324

 There wasn't a chance to go for a walk today, but I did step out onto the deck at sunset. I missed the peak by a bit, but it was still nice.

I missed the most vibrant reds and pinks, but you can see a bit of them here.

I think this is a slice of an agate. I just don't know the names of my wife's minerals all that well. I am really liking how the character of the wooden easel is coming through in this image.

#APicADay 2020: Day 322

 Today, there were some opportunities to go take a picture, had I not been responsible for two little children, one of which was supposed to be doing a reading lesson (which he finally completed at 8:15 tonight.)

I don't know what mineral this is. But it's pretty.

 The weather was miserable today, and there was no opportunity to go for a walk.

Here's another mineral sample. According to my wife it is "possibly chalcedony" and that's as definitive of an identification as I'm going to get.
