kyrielle | One older photo (Reply)

After I scanned the first package of photos (I still haven't scanned any more, though I went through a chunk of the stack with Dad that one weekend, just reminiscing) when I found my old photos, Dad said this photo was one of his favorites of me. It's on a trip we took to Eastern Oregon, arranged through OMSI, for a rock hound weekend. We stayed in an A-frame, we dug up thunder-eggs and other rocks, we learned to cut (well, he did - I was too young and wasn't allowed to use the saw) and polish them. I still have a bucket of un-cut thunder-eggs from this trip, as I ended up with way more than I needed. Perhaps I should get them cracked or cut. There were hikes up into the hills. I think I may have gone on just one, but I'm not even sure of that - they were so long and seemed tiring, I don't know if I went at all.

I think I must have been ten or twelve or so? But I'm only guessing. Before that I think my hair was shorter.

Anyway, here is the photo he liked so: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyrielle/275847159/
