These little creatures are about the size of a (short) grain of rice. They were in considerable numbers under the bark of a Stringy Bark Eucalypt, where I often see Tree Creepers working.
Of the three, one is crawling UNDER an upside down one.
They appear to be bugs rather than beetles I think?
I eventually placed them on a glass slide, hence the shadows are displaced somewhat.
This is the greenest lingcod I have ever seen. Lingcod operate on the principle that if they don't move, you can't see them. They make for good subjects. The little white stringy things on his body are parasitic copepods. They must itch since it appears that he scratched his face trying to get them off

I used a craft knife to scrape the cabbage tree leaves so I was left with stringy fibres. When I grouped all the fibres together I found it had quite a springy quality to it.
This was my night light in Vietnam. I used it to brighten the back porch up when I was walking to the bathroom. After a while I built up a semi-fear of being kidnapped, as I'd heard had happened to my Ong's biggest dog a few weeks earlier.
This is a photo of a spin art. If you have never done spin art, it’s fun. It starts with a motorized wheel, comparable to an electric potter’s wheel or a high speed record turntable. A piece of paper gets affixed. You then add paint, then spin it. You can add globs of paint then turn on the motor, or else you can spin up the paper, then apply thin streams of paint to the spinning paper. The effects can be striking or silly, rarely great art, but always fun and a good way to introduce art and creativity to kids. There are technicalities of the media that can make the results better or worse, especially the paints. If you have ever tried this using the kits sold in toy or craft stores, the results often look stringy and runny, a consequence of using thin watery paints. But, get the right type of viscous paint and a good coated paper, and the results get much better. I made this specimen years ago, using thick paints in citrus color, all poured onto the paper from squeeze bottles before turning on the motor. After spinning for a few seconds, here are the results. While this is not really a photo, just a photo of the art, it has been useful for me as a texture or visual resource to be combined with other photos in creating new art. As an example, it has been combined with the accompanying closeup photo of a hibiscus blossom (taken in a garden in San Diego) to create a new vision of the flower bursting into color. Two similar but subtle variations of this mashup are presented.

Photo & Art Series 2
Sometimes, a photo by itself is boring or mundane, but it has an alternative life or message when combined with other imagery for an artistic reinterpretation. Sometimes a photo is not much of an image by itself, but it is a useful graphical element or resource that can be used to add textures, colors, or other enhancements to other photos or art. Sometimes a photo inspires new meanings or interpretations, and artistic re-renderings of the photo can elevate it beyond its face value subject. In this series of images, photos have been combined, hashed, rehashed, and mashed up to make new art and images.
Not good photos but they do show the eaglet was successful at getting food. This is the little island where terns were trying to nest and pups were born. The long stringy thing hanging from 2nd year juvenile's talons looks like after birth.

Mom let us pick what we wanted for our birthday suppers …
- George always wanted hot dogs and confetti angel food cake
- Carla always wanted the same angel food cake with the colored confetti, for the meal, she always wanted hamburger with white sauce on toast.
- Vicki would pick something different every year, because she could. Her earliest memory was asking for “stringy meat you pull apart” (roast beef) with mashed potatoes. She remembered asking for lasagna and apple salad. She also remembered asking for steak often, accompanied by a side of ketchup.
- Vern doesn’t remember, but George thinks he chose hamburger & beans and Vicki remembers that he picked steak and baked potatoes.
- I honestly don’t remember what I picked - I do remember loving to use Chef Boy-R-Dee pizza mix - adding our own toppings and cheese.

Colorized the single line fill to add dimension. :)
Sitting in the living room in front of the old wooden hall tree stand and lacquered front door at Ridgemont. The end table on the left was handcrafted by Daddy Red. My hair is long and stringy, but permed, and my face is pale.
Oh myyyyyy.

I love how curly and stringy Bailey's fur gets when she's wet. Just happened to catch this one evening when she poked her head into the light.

Edible Parts: Flowers; Root.
Edible Uses: Coffee; Condiment.
Root - cooked. Thin and stringy. The flower clusters can be french-fried to produce a carrot-flavored gourmet's delight. The aromatic seed is used as a flavoring in stews etc.. The dried roasted roots are ground into a powder and are used for making coffee.
CAUTION: Carrots sometimes cause allergic reactions in some people[46]. Skin contact with the sap is said to cause photo-sensitivity and/or dermatitis in some people.
MEDICINAL USES: Anthelmintic; Carminative; Contraceptive; Deobstruent; Diuretic; Emmenagogue; Galactogogue; Ophthalmic; Stimulant.
The wild carrot is an aromatic herb that acts as a diuretic, soothes the digestive tract and stimulates the uterus. A wonderfully cleansing medicine, it supports the liver, stimulates the flow of urine and the removal of waste by the kidneys. The whole plant is anthelmintic, carminative, deobstruent, diuretic, galactogogue, ophthalmic, stimulant. An infusion is used in the treatment of various complaints including digestive disorders, kidney and bladder diseases and in the treatment of dropsy. An infusion of the leaves has been used to counter cystitis and kidney stone formation, and to diminish stones that have already formed. Carrot leaves contain significant amounts of porphyries, which stimulate the pituitary gland and lead to the release of increased levels of sex hormones. The plant is harvested in July and dried for later use. A warm water infusion of the flowers has been used in the treatment of diabetes. The grated raw root, especially of the cultivated forms, is used as a remedy for threadworms. The root is also used to encourage delayed menstruation. The root of the wild plant can induce uterine contractions and so should not be used by pregnant women. A tea made from the roots is diuretic and has been used in the treatment of urinary stones. The seeds are diuretic, carminative, emmenagogue and anthelmintic. An infusion is used in the treatment of oedema, flatulent indigestion and menstrual problems. The seed is a traditional 'morning after' contraceptive and there is some evidence to uphold this belief. It requires further investigation. Carrot seeds can be Abortifacient and so should not be used by pregnant women.
OTHER USES: Cosmetic; Essential.
An essential oil obtained from the seed has an orris-like scent. It is used in perfumery and as a food flavoring. The oil has also been used cosmetically in anti-wrinkle creams.
