This Curl-crested Aracari needs to go to the hairdresser – it seems to have lost the curl in its crest feathers (perhaps due to heavy mist at the time).

...just to experiment on what it will look like!
didn't comb out individual strands but may next time to have a more "professional" and longer lasting look with a boil perm
Lily is usually facing away from me when I get the camera out, however this is exactly what I wanted.
This Oak leaf was CURLED as tight as could be and tucked into the snow so perfectly...Nature never ceases to amaze!

save the riverdale farm and sign the petition here, then email your city councillor and the nasty fraud of a mayor (Mayor_Ford@toronto.ca) to tell them you won't tolerate the dismantling of services and attractions necessary for a thriving city.
further, the local libraries are also under attack by this filth. join team atwood and help preserve literacy in toronto while pointing out to rob ford and his sycophantic shitheads at city hall that libraries are important and deserve funding. online petition here, which i signed and added this comment to:
Rob Fraud and the rest of these moronic reactionary fools are prime examples of the reason why we should be investing in more and broader forms of education and not closing libraries. A learned population would not vote for these hateful imbeciles in the first place.
The oldest specimens are thought to be around 1,350 years old, although the primary specimen that yielded this estimate was cut down.
These are the legs and shell of a half curled, still living, potato bug. (aka "pill bug" or Armadillidium vulgare)
This is double lens reverse macro shot taken with my Nikon 70-300mm VR mounted on the D80, with a male-to-male 67mm-52mm ring used to reverse mount my Nikon f/1.4 50mm to the front of the 70-300mm. The 70-300mm is set to 270mm, meaning (270mm:50mm) that I'm shooting at 5.4x magnification. That means the image you see here is on a scale 1/5.4th the size of the sensor on the D80.)
In order to have any sort of usable DOF, the 70-300mm was set to f/40 by the D80, while the 50mm is manually set to f/1.4 with the aperture ring. As you can see, most of the bug is still very much out of focus. I use an SB-800 off camera to get enough light. This is the unedited JPEG image, straight out of the camera.
To get a better idea of the scale of the photo, here's the bug half curled on a piece of white paper, with the 50mm lens visible.

my niece slept on wet braids to achieve these curls, and she was so proud of them. She wanted me to take her picture; how could I refuse such an adorable subject. :) I was more than happy to oblige, especially when I usually have to beg and plead to take their pictures.
A macro shot I took a long time ago of an iron curl on a stand holding a paving stone in our house. The curl is maybe an inch in size.
