Otter finally got an actual tripod for macro and omg the difference is massive. Everything looks so much sharper now (thanks @imagorev.bsky.social for camera tips ๐)

One of these nuthatchers recently flew over to me demanding a piece of a nut I was holding for a squirrel.
These birds are one of the few that can travel down the tree trunk headfirst.

I adore magpies. The iridescent shine on the feathers is absolutely stunning each time.
In my previous place, I used to set out a bowl with water on a balcony and a pair of magpies always came to drink and bathe ๐ค

Another pretty squirrel we encountered in the park last Saturday 01.11.25
It was quite timid but still curious enough to hang around. Whenever a dog was passing by it ran up the tree, squeaking and swishing its tail in either fear or agitation.
Here are a few shots of it in the afternoon light โจ๏ธ

Last in this batch is #Tourmaline var. #Schorl, showing off its trigonal system with beautiful terminations. It reminds me of something but I can never exactly tell what.
There's something really enchanting about smooth, polished, black surfaces.

Here's a mix of #Galena, calcite & dark sphalerite. Can never get enough of those alienlike shapes, somehow looking equally geometric and natural.
I picked this specimen up because it reminded me of a friend's fursona (bonus points if you can guess who ๐)

Not that sure of its species, but I believe the red one is a male, while the other one is a female of one of the Sympetrum dragonflies.
