Thanks, guys. The camera's a Canon Powershot A710 IS - nothing flashy , just something for me to get used to playing with settings and what not.

What happened to the girl that was in them? :confused:

I'm guessing that they are actually Ibram's fashionably mod boots. No chick, unless he stole them from his girlfriend.

Don't ask me; I didn't put them there, nor did I take them (they were too small for me). I just took the picture.

love the skull pics. where was that?

The catacombs, Paris.

This evening's project. Trying to fix a messed up bike. Can you find the shattered ball bearing? (Or at least the largest piece?)

Real ball breaker, huh?

I am working on a methods paper for Cold Spring Harbor Online journal. This is an image I decided not to use. It is a 5 day old rat pup. This is a typical animal used in my research, except I use just the hippocampus...:o When the paper is finally online (likely at least a couple months) I'll link to it, cuz I wrote it and took all the images for it:D

How big is the hippocampus of a 5 day old rat pup, LabRat?

Around our house, those things are called pinkies. The whole pup, not the hippocampi.

Approximately 8mm x 3mm (5/8" X 1/4")

About this size, but 2-3x as thick: _

Since they are albinos, they don't have any skin color. Colored animals begin to get pigment to their skin on day 3. Fur just starts to come in on day 5, by day 7 it's nice an fuzzy :)

A close up. Of a raindrop. With a purty backdrop. I love camping, even in the rain.

I figure this is as closeup to a rainbow as I could get and still make it worth sharing. Taken yesterday on the way to do a sound gig.

There be gold behind that walgreens! :P

Great photo!

A little friend found in my rock garden on my lamb's ear plant. My daughter's hand for scale. It was missing 2 legs, though no fault of ours :)

A couple closer up. I wish I could manual focus my camera. Someday I'll upgrade, but my little Nikon doesn't do too bad if you have enough patience...

Nice! Brava!

Thanks! The last one is currently my desktop. Even though it's a spider, I really like the way it turned out. I put some close-ups I took of some of my other flowers in the flower thread, if anyone's interested.

Your daughter is brave to put her finger that close.

nice work on the spider LR!

Well I haven't seen the black w/yellow spot variety in a long time.... probably since I posted about about them, but almost stepped on this tiny dude tonight.

I'll bet he loves having a big ol' rock stuck to his eye--ouch!

He's skinny. Looks like a worm with legs.

For the record, Kitsune, your photographs inspire me, while chrisinhouston's merely thrill and intimidate me.

Please keep them coming.

and some instant aging....

great eyes!!!!

My daughter got licked by a giraffe like that at the Santa Barbara zoo. Said it was "the coolest thing tht had ever happened to her"

That's awesome, Flint. Almost makes me miss my cats and their raspy tongues. ;)

It's tiny toad time again :D

That is cool, mercy. Is the dragonfly resting on a wound dressing of yours?

My proofreader last weekend.

Actually it is a surgical sponge, I get a lot of them from work to use in the garage. I found him attached to the sponge in the vertical position with the spider eating his bits out, so I picked it up and put in on the hood of my car to take its pic.

Opened the window just now and this little sucker's giving me the stink-eye. Four of em actually. He's about the size of a pea.

crap crap crap.

I need a spider picture detector. Those suckers are FAST and they JUMP!

Maybe we need a NSFS picture thread.

eye eye eye eye see what U did thar.

and then they suck your bloooood!

Awesome shot UT. Yours?

Yea, great fing shot!

I hate it when people take IOTD quality pics, and they are actually Cellarites.

Excellent, excellent, excellent.

Amazingly cool, UT!

Mine. I'm no bigv by far, but I know how to hold a cam steady.

?

That is an *awesome* picture.

I can't get good spider pictures, despite my affinity and advocacy for them. You have a fine spider sense.

Nice!
