Same here! All I have is a mini iPhone, but I'm surprised how much I've managed to do even with that. (If you're interested, check the hashtag #GlxPics.)
Female spotted orbweaver, Neoscona crucifera, a spider with a soft burnt-orange body with slightly darker markings, and cream and dark brown banded legs with orange femurs. She's hanging upside down in her orb web. Out of focus behind her is a sign (on a brown wood fence) that's still readable: BEWARE OF DOG. (It was hard to get a photo without the sign, but I kind of like it.) Photo by me from a neighborhood walk on November 16 2025.

Slightly floofy (I think he'll be a shorthair) black kitten Oreo, in a leash and harness, on concrete with grass visible. Oak Riparian Park, from an evening walk there and in Calavera Ecological Reserve. September 11 2025 photo by me.
Eight-week-old kittens -- tabby Choco and black Oreo -- in Oak Riparian Park. (One of the trailheads into Calavera Reserve is there.) Their person said his children named them, although the children weren't there. 1/4

Female noble false widow spider, Steatoda nobilis, a spider with a plump round abdomen with a pale brown marking (I think it looks like a tall house with a peaked roof) and a pale brown ring on its dark brown abdomen, a dark brown cephalothorax, and dark reddish brown legs. It's clinging to a fence, upside down, next to the tunnel of its messy web. All false widow species are related to black widows, but not medically significant to humans. October 23 2025 photo taken in Oak Riparian Park, which has a trailhead into Calavera Ecological Reserve, by me.

My handsome green-eyed brown tabby shorthair cat Jackson on the bed, head turned to the side. March 21 2022 photo by me.
I've posted a version of this before, but I've made a new crop and I like how it came out. Jackson and Rudy, circa 2016. #GlxPics @anned13.bsky.social #Caturday +2 #cats

My shorthair cat Missy hiding behind a curtain so her body is a shadow, with just her tabby and white feet showing. Photo by me from 2012.
