Funny, you're posting wood in this thread, and meanwhile...

snicker

They tunnel around under the bark because that's where the live wood with all it's sugary goodness is. ;)
They're cool paterns, nice pics.

We lost a beautiful huge elm tree in the 70s to Dutch Elm disease. Gave us firewood for a decade. Anyway, every stick of firewood had that same pattern on it. It's classic dutch elm disease evidence.

I read this thread yesterday & thought I'd have a go myself. I've learned that I need to get my instruction book out so I know how to manually focus my camera!

I am so amazed by what other people can do, I'm going to make an effort this weekend.

My pre-manual submission:

Last of pepper, frost last night. My 1st try at close-ups. Could never get into super macro. Flappin little buttons.

Must the close ups be our own?

I have lost the manual for my camera. If my cats could use the phone they would have called an exorcist last night because I was SO angry with myself I was speaking in tongues.

Anyway - I'm having to feel my way and therefore experimenting with quite mundane subjects. Please find below two filthy, filthy items from my flat - my watch and my remote. They are much cleaner now.

We need to know where the photo in post 262 was taken so that we can add it to the squirrel colour location study thread.
My guess is a safari park in the UK ...

Some bird got absolutely taken out in the quad a week or so ago.. this is all that was left on the ground

sorry they're kind of huge.. I need to redownload PS *cough* I mean repurchase

Irfanview is free and it can resize the picture for you or you can set the jpeg settings to be somewhat lossy and reduce the size that way.

Hedgehog, again.
