Mica

I found this rock on Marrowstone Island, last week. All of the rocks are bright in the sun, especially right after the tide washes over them, but this one stands out.

The surface has layers and layers of mica. Apparently there are 57 different mica minerals, here, so I am not enough of an expert to know which it is. I can see the layers of flakes of mica. This is a beautiful rock.

For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: grasp.

Garden

This is the Bishop Hotel in Port Townsend, yesterday evening. Next week we hope they will move the Tuesday music to the garden, though it was wonderful indoors too yesterday. The garden patio is lovely, foxglove and iris in this shot.

Inside: Jack Dwyer and George Radebaugh playing wonderful jazz.
