Wow Ving,

Great shots. That wasp and silver fish are amazing.

Great pics guys - love the wasp and the dragonfly.

Also, I took the trouble to view Adrians 'Fungi' (see 'view my Fungi' on his signature). Adrian, those pics are just spectacular

I never thought I'd have so keenly viewed a slideshow of mushrooms and stuff

Great pics - well done.

Cheers,
Paul

At the risk of taking this thread way off track:

Adrian, are all those photographs 'natural' colours? What an incredible collection of images of what most of us would consider to be a mundane subject. I was amazed and captivated; everything from kelp to coral to staghorns and even a construct that reminded me of a south seas flower.

To others who haven't viewed Adrian's fungi site my rating is *****.

Found this poor fellow under the light...

bloodhound31 · #16 14-08-2007, 06:38 PM

I made these little fellows out of modelling clay, a bit of wire and bark for the tails.

Do these qualify on topic?

The beauty of nature! Perfection. I watched one of those orb spiders for a few days to see if each new web was the same...it wasn't.

As the spider got older, the web got more spokes and more strands in between.

I wonder why?

I suppose when I was a kid I built a cubby house, now Im an adult I build an observatory....
