The cool thing about a camera that can zoom 15x optically (Sony H50), is that you can take photos of critters that otherwise would be flying away at your approach …

A mossy pathway through the Lowveld Botanical Gardens, Nelspruit, South Africa. Photo taken Sunday March 15th 2009.

A pair of very sharp flowers 😉

Sweet little plant growing on a rock in the bush … I have to admit, my mom planted it there, but it looks very happy.

I’ve got a new website job, which is cool. Just waiting on my client for specs and ideas and graphics, and then I’ll give it a go. Otherwise my life revolves around the scrapbook shop and the laser cutter. Keeps me busy, sort of.

Looking at some other blogs I realize why this one gets no traffic … it’s because I express no opinions that could get people all swept up. But hey, who wants that kind of traffic in any case?

These amazing fungi are pretty common, but extremely hard to notice, as they are so tiny. I’d gone through that valley 5 or 6 times before I even saw one of these. And then it took a few tries to get a photo that looks okay.

A Poser render … the idea being that these two are both too young to know that they’re supposed to be enemies. And I wanted to try and capture a bit of that “wide eyed wonder” that you see so often in young animals and in some young-at-heart people.

We came across a whole pack of wild dogs just inside the Kruger Park, close to the Kruger Gate. Of course I could only get this one snap through the window of the car. They’d be cute if they weren’t so … bloody, lol!

A mushroom photo taken last week. Trying out YAPB WordPress plugin.
