The “BIG SHOW” continues to amaze and reveal more treasures from the earth each year we attend and explore.

In our quest to find more of Natures-Illusions” we find many mineral specimens along the way and continue to collect rare and unique rocks that have some of the most interesting designs, color and patterns hidden within them.

This year, we viewed several extraordinary exhibits of Metorites and got a chance to try and lift one small, but heavy specimen. Wow! They are much heavier that you can ever imagine! But wait, the price of a sliced one will put you back in your seat!

Ammonites are always one of our favorites to look at during the show & photograph. Many different patterns and colors with some of the outer shells of the fossils having a beautiful pearl appearance, but the inside is the real treasure. Watch our Natures-Illusions.com site this year for many of our projects on Ammonites, photos, collages and fabrics.

Taking a break from so many rocks and so little time, I had a chance to get the “Bite” on with one of my dinosaur friends, just for fun!

Another project that we hope to put further into the web site are some of the collection of Petrified Wood examples that I have been photographing along the way. This is one of my favorites and we saw so many great displays from extremely large slabs to nicely finished small rounds.

More new to follow and watch for our gallery of images of new Natures-Illusions additions!
