These Australian stingless bees are only 4mm or 3/16" long. As the name suggests they have no sting although they can try biting with their mandibles.
Their hives are in hollows in trees, in fallen logs or crevices in rocks.
Hives only produce about 1kg or 2.2lb of honey per year so it's a delicacy to be savoured.
If you have been around fl!ckr lately, you'll notice a lot of photographers (those who particularly deal with children) and parents who have made their flickrs, F+F (friends and family.)
There has been many occasions on where these people, and countless others have had their photographs stolen, only to be used by strangers on other sites. Like Orkut.
Call me paranoid, but I am not taking any chance whatsoever.
So, take note!
(heh also take note of some really awful spelling/grammar mistakes there. It's best not to try and make a serious post on very little sleep. But I'm sure you can gather what I mean.)

I'm really excited to share this one.
Though often photographed, Horseshoe Bend is one of my favorite views in the world. Because you can't see the immense vista until you walk up to the precipice, the combination of heart-stopping beauty and adrenaline-pumping vertigo packs a punch unparalleled by any other view I can think of, including the Grand Canyon.
The New Year's Eve blizzard buried Page in a rare blanket of snow, and this was the incredible result on Horseshoe Bend.
Not often you see people actually writing by hand these days..

Red Crayon Suicide Note
I was the lost child-beaten and weak,
Slaped in the face if dare I should speak,
Slave of aggression, victim of pride,
Feeling the lash of the belt to my hide.
With nothing to gain from my sad little life,
Weary from battle, cursing the strife,
I took some paper from out of my tote,
And wrote out a red crayon suicide note.
As I looked at the note, my thoughts began straying,
To books and to birds and prayers I loved praying,
It was then I decided to fight through the strife,
I threw out the letter and fiercely chose life.
Though now grown and successful, I have not forgot,
My journey to manhood-a battle hardwrought,
My love and my time I now gladly devote,
To all children with red crayon suicide notes.
(By me)

"Stacked Plates" is storm chasers jargon for us to describe a strongly striated mesocyclone! Oh this was a B E A U T Y!
Late August 2011. This was a LP (Low Precip) Storm, and she didn't drop an ounce of rain. If anything did come down it evaporated before it hit the ground. It was so damn hot and humid and was just happy the sun was blocked out by the clouds and then this came along. Along with the severe warning it had on it a few counties north of my location as it moved south.
You can clearly see the mid-level inflow bands. Better known as striations. These were so well defined it was jaw dropping!
When the storm got close enough I couldn't really see or verify a wall cloud of any type. We had a few lowerings, but nothing significant to get me to report it. So I really can't call this a supercell. But it sure was fun one to witness!
