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 💚)
Results coming tomorrow - here's a sneak peek!

This little guy was sneaking his way onto a bird table. Surely trying to get some food on this cold morning. I'm very thankful for his posing in the classic nuthatch headfirst pose.

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 🖤

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 ✨️

Rock specimen with a large black schorl crystal

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.

Adding to the family of I-can't-believe-this-isn't-named-after-the-animal, here's #Crocoite🐊 - with burning orange crystals and a cavernous look that reminds me of a collapsed colonnade.

Rock specimen containing galena, calcite and black sphalerite

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 👀)

Rock specimen with lots of tiny orange crystals of wulfenite

Next up: #Wulfenite with its gentle yet fiery orange tint and a myriad bright reflections. I refuse to accept it was named after a guy - to me this will always be the Wolf Stone 🐺🧡
(perhaps Fox would be more fitting though?)

Rock specimen containing radially arranged lime-green crystals of wavellite

Up first - #Wavellite! This yellowish-green mineral forms stunning radial patterns. What do they remind you of?

Red squirrels are getting fluffier by the day. Coats are getting grayer and growing a lot of fluff on their pointy ears. 🐿️

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.
