I would like to dedicate this to Gary http://www.flickr.com/photos/rowdey/
the moment i seen the small amount of water flow between the rocks, it automatically reminds me Gary.
I know this is not that much compare to his excellent shots, i tried thats it.
Green Lynx Spider, Peucetia viridans, female sitting on eggsack
I think these spiders have the weirdest shaped heads...
Found it in a path of the Oak Ridges Moraine, Ontario.

Call me weird, but there's something sexy about these waves...
And I can't get enough of this place!
Proudly wearing British Rail green, Colas Rail-owned 37057 coasts through Shortlands with a test train and Colas-liveried 37116 in tow working 1Q79, the 09:45 Hither Green P.A.D. - Derby R.T.C. via Ashford(Kent).
At the time, it was running approximately half an hour late, having left Hither Green 15 minutes late. The mighty tractors prevailed though, resulting in a 30 minute EARLY arrival into Derby!
Green-winged Orchid / anacamptis morio. Merry's Meadows, Rutland. 21/05/18.
'SELECTIVE FOCUS ON A MYSTERY CACHE'.
It was the lower right flower that I was focussing on.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
I was aware of some kind of a mass on the lower petal, but couldn't work out what I was looking at in the harsh sunny field conditions.
Back at home and viewing the image on a large screen hasn't helped as much as I hoped either. I don't think I'm looking at Cuckoo Spit produced by a Froghopper, because the individual elements within the mass seem too uniform, level and aligned. This leads me to conclude it must be an egg cluster laid by an invertebrate of some kind, although there seem to be an exceptionally large number of eggs.
I wish I had spent longer with this find and made lots more images from different angles. I know it's not the most arresting image of a GWO you will see on Flickr, but it may prove to be intriguing and of interest to some viewers. I'm hoping someone in Flickrland can perhaps solve the mystery!
Hand held and in natural light of a Metallic Green Sweat Bee (Augochlora spp) on a Common Spiderwort (Tradescantia ohiensis). The bee is about 0.4 inch long.
This really looks nice seen LARGE. You can do so against a black background HERE
If the black background doesn’t work, please view just LARGE HERE
Sweat Bee, common name for any of a large family of bees, many of which are attracted to the salts in human perspiration. Most sweat bees are small to medium-sized, 3 to 10 mm (0.12 to 0.40 in) long. They are generally black or metallic colored, and some are brilliant green or brassy yellow. Sweat bees are among the most common bees wherever bees are found, except in Australia, where they are relatively uncommon. There are about 1000 species in the United States, Canada, and Central America.
Sweat bees are particularly numerous in North America. Although their small size makes them relatively inconspicuous, hundreds may swarm over flowers in gardens or meadows. The different species are often difficult to distinguish. Most sweat bees visit a variety of flowers. They sting only if handled.
The life cycles of sweat bees vary tremendously among species. Most species nest in the ground, but some nest in wood. Nests usually consist of a single main tunnel having one or more clumped cells arising from lateral branches. In some species, the bees constantly guard the nest entrances.
A wide range of social development is displayed in the family. Some species, such as the common eastern sweat bee, have been intensively studied. Many insights into the evolution of social behavior among insects have been learned from sweat bees. Many species are solitary-that is, the female builds and occupies its nest alone. This is considered the basic, most primitive nesting behavior. In some sweat bee species, females nest communally, sharing a common nest entrance but constructing cells individually. Many species, including the common eastern sweat bee, show varying levels of sociality, passing through a continuum of stages in social development. In these species, there may be several egg-laying "queens" with the other nest mates functioning as workers. Sometimes generations of these bees overlap and live together and there may be a division of labor among nest mates. However, unlike many social bees, such as honey bees, there is little communication between adults.
In some parasitic species of sweat bees, females invade the nests of other bees and lay their eggs in the food stored by the host bee. The sweat bee larva kills the host larva and consumes the food. Hosts are usually other species of sweat bees.

Beautiful shades of wild green
In the countryside, now are seen
Flowing slowly, across the tears that weep
Into the lake , so wide and deep
Glorious patterns of natures green
Below the spreading trees are seen
Shining below the infinite skies
Placing wild beauty, in every looking eyes
Green Heron - this guy was more than a little disturbed by the Red-shouldered Hawk that was intruding into his hunting grounds and hunting him. Huntley Meadows Park
Despite their name green iguanas can come in different colours, this can depends in which country they live in. Green iguanas possess a row of spines along their back and along their tails, which helps to protect them from predators. Their whip-like tails can be used to deliver painful strikes and like other lizards when grabbed by the tail, the iguana can allow it to break so it can escape and eventually regenerate a new one. In addition iguanas have a well developed dewlap which helps regulate their body temperature. This dewlap is used in courtship and territorial displays.
Putting up the photo of the cricket match that was taken by a walk I did with Jean and Jack near St Asaph made me look at one or two other photos from that day. This is one of them...
One could argue that these little green blobs are some form of corporeal fairy spirit instead of being just water drops.
Alternately, one could argue that this is what you see in your mind when you go buckwild with a bottle of absinthe (aka, "The Green Fairy").
Or, one might simply suggest that these are waterdrops and nothing more.
But that person, I'd chide for having no imagination. Then I'd push him into a mudd puddle and laugh as he had to scoop mud out of his mouth and off his powder blue Polo shirt.
Hahaha, stupid person. You're covered in dirt!
...
What?
