Now what should I do for the letter N?

This week's Scatterday is brought to you by the Letter N and Little things, Human, Mineral.

Little things ... hmmmm ... like Nanotechnology and Nannites and stuff?

I suppose I could post a picture of a buckyball or something ... LOL

or maybe I should find something that is little, but big enough for me to take a photo of?

Like Nuts

I had these in a box in the garage. Not a good photo - the smallest ones are blurry .. lol

Human ... ok How about Nose?
... Up my Nose! LOL
eek - too scary? LOL (I look like a Neanderthal!)
... how about up my DD's nose?
... and in her mouth - LOL - she didn't know I wanted an N photo for "Human" ... but she kind of let me get a rather good photo that shows a wonderful view up her nose! LOL
maybe this Nut is human? LOL
(yes - that IS me ... lol)

or is my finger or toe Nail a bit Nicer?
... er ... probably not! LOL- kind of Nasty actually - lol ... I could have cut my toenails and then taken a photo of the Nail clippings ... but the dog probably would have eaten them! (yes - he does that!)

now for minerals ...
There are lots of Nice ones ... but
I don't happen to have any handy samples of any of these Minerals:

(found on a few different websites that turned up when I did a google search for "mineral" ;-)
Natrojarosite
Nickelite
Nabesite
Nacrite
Nagyagite
Nahcolite
Native copper
Natrolite
Natron
Natrophilite
Nekrasovite
Nelenite
Nenadkevichite
Nepheline
Nephrite
Neptunite
Nickel
Nickeline
Niedermayrite
Niningerite
Niobite (synonym of columbite)
Niobite-tantalite (synonym of columbite-tantalite)
Nissonite
Nitratine
Nitre
Nontronite
Nosean
Nsutite
Nyerereite
Narsarsukite
Nealite
Norbergite
or any Neosillicates (or any other class of minerals that might begin with an N that I didn't bother searching for ;-)
Nor did I have any Nitrogen ... which is actually an element rather than a mineral, although people do refer to it as a mineral when they are talking about nitrogen in soil on their farm or in their garden ... lol

(actually it is possible, but not probable, that I may have been able to find one of those in the rock collection at work ... but even if there is one there - I am not there to take the photo - lol)

so I decided I would rather take my own mineral photo ...

how about some NaCl? ... otherwise known as common or table salt

in it's Natural state it is known as the mineral Halite (rock salt).
No ... probably Not very good ... lol
- too bad - I have Not got anything else for Now ... so Nah Nah Nah ... (I am so Naughty)
