Crystal hunting changed in the best way for me this year. This guy right here happened to be in a hole next to me earlier in the season at Fonda Mountain , and from that moment on we’ve been inseparable when we’re at the same place on the same day. When we initially exchanged contact information I noticed an eagle on his business card as he is a photographer and owns Eagle Point Images.
As a nature photographer myself that brought joy, but what brought me more comfort and happiness was the thought that this man was most likely sent to me by my dad. I am not sure, but I’m pretty sure, digging with Tom is what it would feel like to dig with my dad if I had ever had the opportunity to do so. My dad was always bringing home treasures he found while digging deep in the earth for his job as a foreman.
The eagle has been a strong symbol since my dad’s passing as one arrived outside my office window on the morning of his passing. Crystals are amazing, but digging and sharing the moments with this guy makes it even better. Liz even nicknamed us the Vulture’s Coven because we tend to swoop in 😂.
