Hi all!
Sorry to be so quiet these last months. Been working hard to stay afloat and am happy to report that I am, well, still floating.
Here's a couple of pics from the last harvest. The really colorful ones were pulled out of the R-SR bin for the photo then put back in for the bin photo. Can you find some of them?

Many thanks for the teaser!

I sure hope this is just a teaser, right?

It isn't that easy picking the same pearls in both pictures - not even close to easy from down here. Although you say you have picked the best of the litter, in the bucket is just a fabulous pile (with a few peacocks peaking out, granted)

Wow, they are splendid! Josh, this is really a reward for two weaker harvests in spring!

Congratulations, Josh!

Glad you are checking in, and the pearls are amazing! I can imagine how cool and smooth they feel, besides looking so gorgeous, truly a sensuous feast!

If my banker (hubby) saw my reaction to those pearls he would cut off my internet connection!

Those are beyond beautiful, Josh. Thanks for sharing!
