Happy Anniversary!  

 

You have a knack for finding and photographing some cool geology.  I guess the angular fragments within the granite are chunks of the volcanics which the granite intruded?

Happy anniversary to you both.

Thanks for the hike. I have seen the "other" nipple many times now I know it's the wrong one.

You found some nice fall color.
