I´ve been fiddling with this so long that I can´t tell if this went in the right direction or if I need to add or substract anything, so instead I´ll just post it again ;)

On another cooler day without rain and mostly sunny, this adult salamander was found hiding in a crevice in a mountainside adjacent to a large waterfall. After some coaxing, it came out and was very flighty. After pictures it was released.
Walker County, Georgia
Ich habe mal ein bisschen rumgespielt und als ich so beim bearbeiten war dachte ich mir auf einmal das das Bild aussieht wie ein Insekt mit ausgebreiteten Flügeln, vielen kleinen Beinen und sogar fühlern und Punkte die die Augen sein könnten. 😃 was seht ihr?

First time I think seeing one of these, thanks to Donald and Charlene for pointing it out.
Bee-flies are fascinating insects that have mastered the art of mimicry. These agile, fluffy, flying creatures look similar to bees, but they are in fact flies. They have only one pair of wings, whereas bees have two, and their most unmistakable feature is a long, straight, straw-like tongue, known as a proboscis.
One of the first bee-fly species seen in spring is the dark-edged bee-fly (Bombylius major), common across Britain and a frequent garden visitor. It has yellowy-brown hair, a long tongue, and darkened wing edges that extend halfway across each wing.
Bee-fly behaviours
One peculiar behaviour displayed by the bee-fly is its slow-moving hover where it lightly touches the ground. It keeps its legs slightly grounded, while slowly and gently brushing the surface with its abdomen – if you look closely, you can see the abdomen creates movements in the sandy surface. This is because the bee-fly is scooping up sand and mud to coat its eggs for camouflage.
This camouflage is important, as bee-flies will lay their eggs in unsuspecting solitary bee burrows, hovering over the burrow entrances before catapulting their eggs inside. As the eggs hatch, the bee-fly larvae spend their time maturing in the nest, eating up the pollen stores that the solitary bees have left for their own young. Although this sounds like bad news for the bees, a healthy population of bee-flies means that you have a good population of bees.
lignes et formes apparaissent encore, elles disparaissent et reviennent et elles me racontent doucement
Wow, it's been a long time since I've done a piece on a can. Still lots a fun! 4.5" x 8.5 on Smashed Beverage Can.

“Bees blew like cake-crumbs through the golden air, white butterflies like sugared wafers, and when it wasn't raining a diamond dust took over which veiled and yet magnified all things”
...and there it is :)
I could have easily given this scene more of a horror touch in post-pro as the "creature" lends itself to that - however as my ongoing project is to display "friendly" or inviting forests I decided against actually doing it. Perhaps I´ll revisit this one later.

The medusa was a beautiful woman who was followed and raped by Poseidon in a temple to Athena. Athena was offended and cursed the medusa so her hair became snakes, her lower body a serpent and her gaze would turn all to stone. I depicted her as a sad and lonely victim rather than a monster. Perseus beheaded her with Athena putting the head on her shield. Beautifully though, the Pegasus was born from her severed neck which I like to think was her spirit.
I just love the colors of this creature from the Monkey Kid series. I had to take it to our creek bottom and photograph it.
It was a great day for toy adventures!
well....this grasshopper just happened to be resting on registration plate while I was leaving my car..... grabbed my P9 and captured on aperture priority mode...
Spotted this bugger on the side of the house today when I came from work.

Ran into these funky little guys when I was roaming around at the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids, Michigan this past fall. They caught my eye. Decided to have a little selective color fun with them. Someone had quite an imagination to create these guys.

This photo was taken during ArtPrize 2018. The clay sculpture entry was a statement about toxic waste. There were several other creatures, but this guy really caught my eye. It's fun going back to look at older images that were almost forgotten about
