*"Mighty Hermaphrodity"* by Vicki OBrien
Monadenia fidelis… Pacific Sideband This land snail is the most common on the Pacific Coast of North America. They are hermaphrodites commonly seen in the spring when the ground is moist. They have very poor eyesight and are completely deaf, so they rely heavily on their sense of touch and smell when finding food and are often seen travelling in irregular paths, even in circles. / Photo taken in Kanish Bay Quadra Island BC / Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50

Dragonfly by Marleia Main
A dragonfly is a type of insect belonging to the order Odonata, the suborder Epiprocta or, in the strict sense, the infraorder Anisoptera. It is characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, and an elongated body. Dragonflies are similar to damselflies, but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most dragonflies are held away from, and perpendicular to, the body when at rest. Even though dragonflies possess 6 legs like any other insect, they are not capable of walking. Dragonflies are also the fastest flying insect. Dragonflies are valuable predators that eat mosquitoes, and other small insects like flies, bees, ants and butterflies. They are usually found around lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands because their larvae, known as “nymphs”, are aquatic. (Wiki) / Olympus E510

Waiting For The Tourists by Lois Bryan
Featured in Amateur Art Photography May 19, 2009. / Featured in Dimensions March 23, 2009. / Featured in Neighborhoods March 21, 2009. BEST VIEWED FULL SIZE! A beautiful street in Old Corfu Town, Greece, on a wonderfully hot and sleepy afternoon in July of 2005. Looking closely, you can see the tourists heading our way from down the street. Handheld image taken with the Olympus C-5000 zoom on July 27, 2005. Shutter 1/250, aperture f/5.6, exposure 0.00, iso 50. In other words, totally automatic and if I’d had to explain what a shutter speed was in those days, I couldn’t have done it!! This image was put through photoshop to remove distracting electrical lines, then popped into Photomatix, single image at +/- 2 eval.

Spike Jones #3 (Cyptotrama aspratum - Gold Tuft) by Dennis Gay
THE SUBJECT: / A very small developing fruiting body of the Cyptotrama aspratum (Gold Tuft) fungus found on a rotting dead branch and caught in the gorgeous natural light of a slightly overcast autumn afternoon sky. / About 1.5cm high. THE LOCATION: / Along a track in the Kattang Nature Reserve, Dunbogan, NSW, Australia. THE MAKING of ‘Spike Jones #3 (Cryptotrama asprata)’: / Out on a fungi hunt with a Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club mate, we were only 150 metres from the car park when we saw the beautiful glow of this fungus poking up from the leaf litter. / While most of the fungi we found were the blues we found three of these at different stages of development. / This photograph is brought to you after much pain and discomfort as I was bitten by a bull ant, my mate was bitten by a leech and we were both bitten by mosquitoes. The things we do…..! / Fuji S9600: RAW, Super macro, Manual settings of f/4.5 @ 1/10sec, Manual focus, ISO80, Tripod, Timer. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3. Visit the Fungi & Lichen collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more fabulous fungi and likeable lichen. NOTE: / I lightened the image slightly and gave the saturation a little tweak for printing on Ilford Galerie Smooth Gloss Media and it did a marvellous job on the oranges/yellows. UPDATE: 19-05-09 / Little Spike has been featured in the Amateur Art Photography Group. UPDATE: 20-6-09 / My glowing golden Fungus was placed 2nd in challenge and has been Featured in the Fungilicious Group. Enjoy! FUNGI: KATTANG / (Click the links!)
