Vacations are fun and it's grand to see new places & things, and make new friends.
I've shown pictures here at Renderosity of this year's and last year's vacation.
Those that know us, also know that Mike and I always loved collecting fossils.
So the heart of these vacations has been to specifically collect a few fossils.
Here are a few from this year in Canada (leaves), and last year in South Dakota
(bone). It's hopefully a yearly tradition that I do for me and in honor of Mike.
Thanks very much for all your kind comments on my recent postings! ... Maria

Excellent macro collection my friend.....!!!!
INTERESTING!! Very nice collection of fossils and what a nice way to honor your own dear Mike. Thank you for sharing with all of us. HUGS!!!
Very intresting and so kind of you to educate me more. Thank you. :)
Very cool fossils Maria! I love trilobites! I love fossil hunting too, but I don't get to do it much these days. :)
Well, I didn't know!!! Darn - I'm always the LAST to know! Ah... But I have to say, if I could retire now I would love to spend my time helping out on archeology sites. The past is so fascinating, be it animal or veggie! I'm so impressed with this beautiful presentation - thanks so much for showing it. Wonderful work, Maria (and Mike)!!!!
What a lovely array of fossils! I am glad that you still do this and although Mike is not here, you will have wonderful times still doing the things you loved doing together. I really love that you can see the fossils so well. Fantastic job and it sounds like fun!
Sounds and looks like you both had a wonderful and fulfilling Vacation! :)
Your vacation sounded so super, I always had an interest in archeology, well when I was younger that is. Now I think just photographing the stuff is just as great... :0...:-)... but to collect is wonderful also. It's nice to have all the memories of our S.O.'s favorite things. Always a treasure.. Thanks Maria for shareing your treasures.. :)
I love this collection! My favorites are the trilobites and the redwood/birch leaves. But the Caprolites in the sand box have me laughing out loud:) I am also amazed that you found part of a T-rex tooth!
You're way ahead of me. In all my travels, I've never found a fossil. Maybe next year I should vacation with you and Mike. :-)
