Nothing rock-related as such (except the beginning of a new project at the bottom of the post)
New phone-camera opens up another world for inspiration. And a new line of interest is born.
Looking at bugs, and it becomes clear why humanity is and always was able to create monsters to fear.
Fascinating textures and extraordinary shapes reveal themselves, love that camera.
Lets start with sunrise to a sunburn Sunday after the storm subsided.

None more so than the leg. I'm fascinated by the construction overall as well as the joints

Huge Treeborer seen last year. Should get much better closeups if I come across that one again.

Nasty bugger. Secrets a liquid that itches for nearly an hour. Caught me in the morning yesterday, and found again late afternoon allowing me to actually see defense-mechanism.

Changeling. Looks ferocious, but then turns into that sort of butterfly. I think they call it a Leaf-Hopper.

And even crabs become a source of learning. Never knew that the eyes fold away sideways.

Plenty of shapes and textures to explore for future carving-projects.
But for now, my next project should be this cluster of bats. Long delayed, but need to try to get it out of my system.

Its a slow year for carving with only 4 pieces done, but as the difficulty increases, so does the time involved.
