Thanks, Bobby, for your daily reminder of the wonder and beauty our little planet has held in its grasp for all these many years. I would greatly enjoy seeing more of these mini beauties.

Thank you Mike, very nicely phased.

This was from Doren.

Finally for today some amber. Just photographed with my phone and clip on lens, with no fancy software. I think with my tech this is the best photographs I can achieve.

Have you got the tech to do some macro photography of your amber beasties Inclusions?

I have this :

It tends to be a bit dark 

It needs light coming from underneath imo

Have you taken more pictures of your amber than showing on this link?

 

[Bobby Rico]

This is for Yoda, again I am pushing my limited tech but I achieved this and it is not to bad . I think this is some kind of cricket? .

This next one with the naked eye is a speck, body length under 2mm. 
 

 

 

I will do more photos today of this amber( it kills the battery in my old phone). Then back to my test tube babes.

Again very tiny,

Dominican amber , Oligocene.  The inclusion was hard to photograph because of the angle of the bug to the surface of the amber. It could be a bark gnawing beetle , very sweet anyway.

 

Thats my allotment of amber I may still have some copal.

Today’s post is inspired by @old bones wonderful post he made this weekend, check it out. Lol Old Bones thread also made me laugh with a witty thank you to his Mum. 

My pictures are not great today. The light is overcast and with my very limited tech it is hard to work with it.

 

cheers Bobby 

 

weird vertebra I think with some mineral growth

No,

Most of my Amber is in those mounts which makes then difficult to photograph with the microscope
