    Risking sounding crazy and/or corny I have to tell you that when you open one of these crusty, unattractive exteriors to find a beautiful breathtaking interior, it always makes me think of the beauties of the human soul we all possess which we protect/defend with a crusty, unattractive exterior. Thank you for adding/exposing hidden beauty to our world. (Loved your little self-conversation!)

    You can show them all - I won't be bored. Just showing them would be an easy video wouldn't it? A good break? The fire and ice are great together. So beautiful and unique. What a great idea! Could you take the duds and tumble them? I'd love to see what would happen. If you don't tumble maybe you could ask Rob/Michigan Rocks to try it. That would be so cool.

    OK, so I have no idea how many videos of yours I've watched (I've had the flu, and I've been stuck in bed feeling sorry for myself). First off, love the passion for your craft you have and the care you put into your videos. They are really well filmed and edited. I have one takeaway, and that is I'd love to see some before and afters. You seem to pick a favourite in most videos. I think it would be really cool to see some quick snapshots of your favourite in all its polished glory at the end of the video. The other side of that is whilst I get that nature does most of the hard work in creating such beauty. You certainly have skill in bringing out the best in the material you work with, and you should definitely showcase that more. Thanks for helping me get through this nightmare flu. I really appreciate it.
