Some incredible rocks there. The close ups really help show them off. That red/yellow/gray one is my favorite, any idea what it is?

Oooooo..... great shininess! Nice variety, too. What is this one? It MIGHT be my favorite.

Wow what a shine! I think I see a kid climbing in the tree that’s outside the window in the reflection in the third picture down!

Wow! you just made my morning :-) They are all grogeous. What camera equipment do you use for your close-ups?

Nice if you did photos of every tumble. They are fine. The palms and palm roots are killer. The eyeballs. The photography.

Wow! you just made my morning :-) They are all grogeous. What camera equipment do you use for your close-ups? Thank you. I'm still tweaking my equipment because I'm self-taught with some help from prior photo experts here. I use a sony e-mount APS-c (alpha 6600) and a zeiss touit 50mm f/2.8 macro lens. Still fussing with lighting etc, haven't found the perfect set-up yet. I'm experimenting with photo stacking using a light rail as well.. some of those shots above have 50-60 stacks for 1 photo.. I use Helicon focus for that.

Got ya.. I think it's a random moss agate of some kind.. not 100% on the identification.
