These tiny, long-legged bugs can transfer their body weight to accommodate their ability to walk on water.
I was out trying to chase some mammatus clouds and found myself hunting a lighthouse. The lighthouse wasn't working the way I'd hoped so I left the location. As I was walking back I heard calls coming from a woman nearby. "Come on, let's go" I heard her call. I noticed the bright red jacket bustling over the rocks towards the yelling mother. He seemed to be studying the papers in his hand and didn't realize how far he'd gone out. I quickly snapped a shot of him center stage. The storm was over, a happy mother.

"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 path heads up toward West Kennet Long Barrow, the construction of which began just over five thousand six hundred years ago. I find that a little difficult to comprehend, to be honest!
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.
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.
David spotted this water-strider resting on a brick wall beside the river Severn. Was rather surprised to see one out of the water like it!
