Water Striders ( Family Gerridae), on Reay Creek, BC. Tiny hairs on their legs trap air and repel water, allowing them to walk on water.

The Blacksmith's Plover was one of the more common birds we encountered on our Safari. They occupy grasslands, often closely water and I believe were seen in all of the parks we visited. This particular one was photographed in the Amboseli Nature Reserve which incidentally was where we came across the largest variety of birdlife.
The bird is also known as a Blacksmith's Lapwing. Apparently it gains its name from the repeated metallic 'tink, tink, tink' alarm call, which suggests a blacksmith's hammer striking an anvil.
Family: Gerridae
Order: Hemiptera
SubOrder: Heteroptera
Common Name: Water Strider, Water Bugs, Water Skaters, Jesus Bugs. [Wikipedia]
These tiny, long-legged bugs can transfer their body weight to accommodate their ability to walk on water.
Water strider making ripples as it moves in a slow running stream. Liked how part of the water was still enough to catch its reflection as well.

"The Solar Strider wanders the barren wastes of the west, a relic of an advanced age. Needing no sustenance save for the light of the sun, it appears to never deviate from its mission. The strider's purpose seems to have been lost to the winds however, eroded from history like the winds reduce the mightiest of boulders to mere grains of sand..."

So it's been over a year since I posted anything on Flickr, but that's not to say I haven't been active, and watching from the shadows...
For 2020, I hope to put out more builds than I did last year (which is to say, more than none), but only time will tell if that will ever happen.
In the meantime, here's a build that uses Dark Flesh / Metru Brown as its primary colour, which is not one you see all that often.
Happy New Year, and see you soon!
This model were built specially for contest on Bricker.ru, but was disqualified for being "published" on offline Megabricks Lego festival (I brough it for Bionicle exposure, you can see some photos here). "NEVER EVER FUCKING LUCKY" - Forsen on any stream.
I wanted to make something in typical "Black Fantasy" style, using a lot of black pieces. Also I wanted to make it look organically. Many thanks to Lil' Taggy for selling me some cool black tails and red loupes.
Also I decided to make little piece of planet for this bad guy. It has interesting experiments with sick Clickits details, still in love with them. But I have no enough time to make it fully detaild, so it has some holes somewhere that I didn't like at all.
You can also see difference in lighting between some photos, that because it were made in different place (right during festival and at home), soz fow that.
I am very interested to know what you think about this model, so any comments are welcome!
I am always amazed at the long stride, grace, and power a moose uses to walk through the snow. Perfectly adapted to it's environment, this moose was strolling among the willows, stripping bark and paying little attention to us as we watched this beautiful and interesting animal in Yellowstone National Park.
I had forgotten that I bought this little Sigma lens so I decided to have a day shooting with it. It's surprising how accurate it is for such a cheap lens and the image quality is quite good.
This walk turned into a bit of a mudfest for the next mile of so. The day was unusually mild for late December - would have been good if it had been a frosty day
Helvellyn, Lake District. Taken before we tackled the edge and made our scramble to the summit up the sheer rock face you see at the end of the ridge. Helvellyn is England's third highest mountain standing at 3,120 feet.
The grave of Elizabeth Stride, died on September 30th 1888. The flower I placed is the dark right in the middle.
