| It's great to see your photo, xalepax! It looks like curtains of light. |

a photo of a bug I took the other day, the sucker was BIG, anyone know what kind of bug this is? I am not very good with knowing my bugs  This bug has some major pit hair, and I think he needs to wax his back?

^ Looks like a dragonfly to me. I don't think it's a damselfly because its eyes are close together and its wings aren't folded. Then again, I don't know much about insects either.
I love dragonflies; they're so pretty.

@Xalepax: Like the clouds, very atmospheric (er, no pun intended!). Also glad somebody bumped this thread.

Nothing artsy here, just the view outside my window. Vineyard & tractor belong to my neighbor. The thing behind the tractor blows lovely clouds of pesticide everywhere.  
Ok, this one's artsy. Can't remember if I posted it before; apologies if so. Taken in the bay area a long time ago.

My new broad heads; designed for buffalo and other large game. To be used on feral dogs and cats (I'm very ethical).

Awesome photographs folks. The dragonfly is beautiful also. Love the creature and I'm in awe always encountering one. Magnificent and graceful. Total control in their ability to fly.... um, not so the butterfly. They seem rather clumsy in flight but beautiful too of course.
This one (pic's shot in my garden), I think it's the 'Vanessa cardui', is sitting on a the flower of a 'Echinacea purpurea' or a purple coneflower, I think it's called. (healthy butterfly, probably) |

I was on one of my drives today and saw this on a bench. I found the combination oddly amusing.

| No, Mr Erminea, I'm not. I was on a one day trip to meet friends and visit an exhibition. |

| It's not a problem. Actually, I could have put a subtitle to the photo. That was the first one I took that day. It was early in the morning, very early for a Sunday, and there was almost nobody in the street. It was a great visit, I enjoyed it a lot. |

Macro shots, taken with my macro lens with added extension tubes. Most of the stuff is at most 1-2cm IRL:
And some eejit I found in the forest a while back. Messed with the channel mixer on this one:
