Got to totally geek out at the intersection of photography and science while exploring @leicamicrosystems.bsky.social microscopes at our neighborhood's nonprofit shared biology lab @chitownbio.bsky.social Check out the feather's hooks (barbicels) & the gorgeous way the detail looks like weavings.

What brought me joy this week:
1) tiles
2) frog hat
3) precious cousin time
4) sunset & ice on Lake Michigan from a plane

Happy new year at the beach.
