hehe Tripco, nice translating, but unfortunetly wrong i think...

muchomor czerwony

much(a) - yes ist's fly
mor(derca) - killer
czerwony - red
was it what You was thinking?

Maybye Your translating is linage of name of this shroom? Who knows ....
muchomor means poisonus shroom, there are many shrooms with 'muchomor' in their names.

 

[Tripco]

Well, i thought that "mor" suffix is similar like in serbian. Example: Muhomor in serbian would be a "medium (or a device) for killing flyies". Our name for that shroom is "crvena muhara"

Now thats a shroom shot, Bong.....Nice

 

[Tripco]

B/saurus, that shroom looks exactly like an realistic illustration for 'Alice in Wonderland'. What a trippy book it is .
This pic is like one year old. That spider was a livin' insecticide that used to protect my Washingtonia filifera palm from any kind of bug. Unfortunately, i had no livin' fungicide, so she died this spring from fungus (too much exposure to low temps. and moisture, i think)

I went over to a buddy's hayfield this evening for a bonfire. Parked my truck by the fire and had one window cracked one window open. After the fire and what not, i drove back home, and as i was going to roll up the passenger side window, there was a fully spun circular web to the right of the passenger seat with a spider, looking similar to the one above, right in the center of the web. These guys are quick! I was only there a couple hours! They sure get busy at night.

 

[Tripco]

Yes, they are Pipeline, they're realy quick. I saw 'em more than once, makin' complete web within a half an hour or even less. Common name for 'em around here is "Crusader spider" , 'cos they got this cross sign on their back (and they're very invasive too). There's a few more similar species with more pronounced cross.

Thanks. Check out this wild pony, I can't remember if I posted it before. I seem to have a way of getting animals to let me in their space, ya know?

 

[pipeline]

Really great shots NKOTS and POMH. Thats really close for a deer! They're spooked so easily usually. I have some Argiope shots from this morning. Just a min....

Really wish i had adobe still, a couple of those NEED to be cropped using the original shot.

Thanx bong. Do Grouse fly? It looks like it could fly, but if it let you follow for 10 min who knows. Bird brain.

 

[pieceofmyheart]

I posted this in the other nature thread also. I have always been able to get close to animals, they seem to let me into their space a bit.
Butterflies tend to land on me and birds at my old house would sit on the porch with me. Funny

This is a wild horse

corn bread crust if you don't mind.
