Mark, I love your squirrel picture. It's not too often that we get to see one of those guys relaxing!

Seriously awesome shots, gelatinous! Great eye, and great timings! That shot aint so bad, deer are hard to shoot! Just look at the size of their ears!

A couple from last summer.....

 

[pipeline]

Lovein the shots! Thanks man! Back at ya!

Couple more argiopes, they're plentiful around harvest time here! Scary but they don't hurt anyone. They can cut you but they aren't venomous....

Those snakes are survivors...... You can tell how ancient they are! Great macros..... Ya ain't jamming no thread, this thread is Jammin' now!

I've seen a few of tomato hornworms with those parasitic eggs on them..... They're usually dieing or dead after they get a bunch of eggs on them...... Good riddence I say, but at the same time its too bad..... Its ALL GREAT!!!

Those wave clouds ARE nuts, by the way! I've never seen those!

i really like that 1st pic thats the coolest thing ive seen in a while with the depth all cool like that


Northeast US. Those tree in the last mossrocks picture aren't pine, probably oak or something

this is the cam - http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/S9000/S9KA.HTM

funniest thing happened last summer. was high, literally frollicking around the beach granite rocks with berkenstocks, camera in one hand, tripped, had no choice but to THROW my camera straight into the rocks 15 feet away, otherwise I would have fell on my face.

the camera's batteries flung out into the water. the battery cover is now slightly ajar but it holds the batts in perfectly fine. when i zoom in and out there's 1 rough feeling spot somewhere in the middle of the zoom range. there's a scratch riiiiight next to the lcd screen but not quite on it.

and one down button is kinda messed up so i have to only go up until i loop through the list on a program to get to the bottom of the list.

hilarious. and the thing still works. i thought for sure it was totally gonna be destroyed. lense didnt even crack.

Thanks! One of my favorite shots as well....

Woah, thats lucky! This is my second camera.... I shot with the first one for the last time in some drizling rain, but it was for a prolonged time not just shortly...... Lens mechanism stopped working or something. Gotta be careful, but thats not always easy.

Couple weekends ago me and a buddy hooked up a rope swing on a tree overhanging the creek and it was too long when I went to swing..... Forgot to take the cam and its pouch off my belt! Hit the creek w/ the side of my bum, but the cam was fine!

I'm hittin the hay..... got wake n bake early tomorrow morn....

Lenticular clouds in Texas.


The same clouds earlier in the day, from Dog Canyon, Texas.


Bouton Lake, Texas, 2 seconds after sunset.


A friendly little snake we came across just after a nice toke on a back road. I was cotton mouthing like a water moccasin.

 

[Guest]

What's nice about here is there are no poisonous snakes, and never seen a rattlesnake in the wild

What is that a cottonmouth?

A baby dwarf caiman



I edited the faces out, even though I was in the 5th grade at the time. But this was taken in a small town of Arkansas. Still a great photograph.


Somewhere in Texas, I don't remember where though. Hehe

 

[Tarkus]

Damn, that caiman has gotten a lot darker and really bulked up. I am gonna grab it next weekend I am down there, hopefully I do not get bit. Although, now is the time for me to get bitten by it, instead of when it is bigger!


This is a lizard I chased across the campsite, trying to get a better look at him. It ran into a hole, which only my arm and camera could fit into. I stuck them in a very short distance and snapped a photo in the complete dark. Could not see in there at all, I guess I got the little bugger though.

Great shots guys! thats a pretty lucky shot, Tarkus, shootin in the dark!
