Lake Superior Winter Beach and Agates Close Up--Post 2

Today I actually quit working on the "project" at a reasonable hour since I was invited out to dinner. My friends, Gerald and Jill, decided to head up to see what Grand Marais looks like in the winter. Before going over to their house, I headed over to the boardwalk to see what the beach is looking like these days. It was VERY windy and cold, but beautiful.

And here are the rest of the USB microscope photos of agates.  First, some moss formation on a Paradise Beach, MN agate....
