I found this garden snail (terrestrial mollusc) devouring this ‘cloud ear’ fungus. Cloud ear fungus (Auricularia polytricha or Hirneola polytricha) is an edible jelly fungus and somewhat elastic and gelatinous, as well as silky to touch when fully formed. It grows on wet trees and takes on the colour of the tree on which it grew, so it can range from dark yellowish-brown to dark brown or even black. It goes by several names including black mushroom, ‘tenga ng daga’, black fungus, wood ear fungus, tree ear fungus and ear mushroom. I have seen cloud ears at the market and are sold mainly in dried form.

Hot springs at Hveragerði, Iceland. The water was far too hot for paddling until it got downstream a little.
First documented in the hands of the McQuillan family after they became lords of the Route. The McQuillans were displaced by the MacDonnell after losing two major battles against them during the mid- and late-16th century. Dunluce served as the seat of the Earls of Antrim until the family’s fortunes changed following the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. As the family fortune dwindled, the castle was left to ruin. The site was passed down over the centuries, until it came into the part ownership of Winston Churchill through his marriage to Clementine Hozier. He gave his share of the castle to the Northern Irish government in 1928, who has maintained it ever since.
There is a massive cavern located more more than 25 meters beneath the castle named Mermaid's Cave.
It's a great little "mini-bridge" camera - 10 MP, AF 15x Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon 28mm to 420mm zoom lens.
Released September 2008.

Kodak EasyShare DX7590
I've started carrying around my trusty old Kodak DX7590 5 MP digicam with a 10x Schneider-Kreuznach zoom. Normally this camera sits in the closet, in favor of my Minolta 35mm's and Olympus E-510 DSLR, but it does take nice pictures with excellent color, so I've decided to use it as my everyday traveling camera. The 35mm's and the DSLR can be a pit of a pain at times, but the small size and good optics of the Kodak make for a great traveling companion.
For those of you who would like a nice, inexpensive camera that gives results far beyond it's price tag, I highly recommend checking out all the Kodak super zooms. While you can't slip them in your shirt pocket, they are still much smaller and lighter than any DSLR on the market right now.
I bought this CX7430 for 3 $ at the Thrift Store. In 2001 it was a high end compact. Original price, 400$. 4MP. It gives you a surprising amount of control. No manual mode, but the exposure can be adjusted up or down one stop. You can custom order white balance. You have the choice of 4 grades of picture quality. The lens is all glass and that may be why the photos look so good from this little machine. It is not much good for huge vistas, but for close up work, can't be beat. Low light stuff is out too but you can up the ISO to 400.There is a mic, a speaker, a mode dial on top and a port on the bottom that allows connecting to a printer dock. An AV port for connecting to a television set and another port for direct current input. USB port too, of course. And there's more! But I'm through for now.

Reposted. I'm proud of my toy camera Kodak Easyshare C123 Sport. Several of my most viewed shots, and Explored ones, are taken with this cheap camera.
I posted this shot to illustrate one of my saddest days as a photographer:
One of the last moments enjoying Belgium. Some time after, I discovered that someone crashed a window of the car I've had rented and taken (robbed) my complete gear from the car's boot: camera, lenses,... The only time I left my camera behind because I was quite tired of handling it all the time.
After that, going to change the car, to do the complaint at the Police Station,... and the travel ruined for the following days.
Fortunately, I saved all the shots before.
I could keep on shooting with this cheap, low quality but efficient Kodak Easyshare Sport. A little marvel that I love so much more than ever (it's is the unique machine that I own right now).

A family member gave me an old Kodak EasyShare C530 from 2005 to play around with. I remember when I upgraded from my Sony Mavica MVC-FD75 that I got from a friend when they upgraded in 2003 to a Kodak CX7530 Zoom. I thought it was truly the future. Seeing these photos next to my Nikon D50’s felt unreal. Now looking back on those Nikon D50 photos over my Nikon D5600 it’s wild. I love using old digital cameras.
