Gem Studded Puffballs by David Lewins LRPS
The common puffball, gem-studded puffball or devil’s snuff-box (Lycoperdon perlatum) is a moderate sized puffball mushroom with a round fruiting body, tapering to a wide stalk. It is off-white with a top covered in short, spiny bumps or “jewels”. When mature, they become brown and a hole in the top opens to release spores which are released in a burst when the body is compressed by rain drops, a touch, falling nuts, etc. Info from Wikipedia EOS 1D MkIII – 17-40mm (L) www.davidlewins.co.uk

Last Stand by Dennis Gay
THE SUBJECT: / A tiny Diaea evanida (Flower Spider) sitting at the end of an Actinotus helianthus (Flannel Flower) petal in a last stand against a pesky photographer. THE LOCATION: / Photographed in the Grant’s Head Nature Reserve, Bonny Hills, NSW, Australia.. THE MAKING OF ‘Last Stand’: / With my beloved Milady Fuji, (the S9600), at the doctors I set out on a Nature safari with my old workhorse Mr Fuji, (S5500) on a glorious spring day. / I went straight to Grant’s Head, loaded myself up with tripods and headed down the rough gravel gully that acts as a track to where the Flannel Flowers grow. / They were in abundance again this year and so I went slowly from plant to plant on the hunt for spiders, bees, beetles etc until I found this li’l fella. / It was originally sitting more towards the centre of the flower but by the time I set everything up I was well and truly sprung and when I went to make the shot it walked to the end of the petal. / I thought it would disappear over the edge as they are want to do but my gutsy subject turned to face me – a last stand. / What I pleasantly discovered was that by applying the knowledge and experience I have gleaned in using the 9Mp S9600 to the 4Mp S5500 that has less bells and whistles was I could successfully squeeze images of even more quality from it than I had before. / Fuji S5500: RAW, f/3 @ 1/1000sec, ISO64, Auto focus, Tripod, Timer. / Lightroom 2.2 & Photoshop CS3. Visit the Insects & Spiders collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more arachnidian delights. UPDATE: 9-11-09 / My defiant spider has been FEATURED in the Colour and Light Group. Enjoy!
