A Snowberry Clearwing moth demonstrates its impressive hovering skills while it feeds on nectar.

(On a more personal note: I can't believe I actually pulled this off!)

Before we busted out all my Legos, my son (3 at the time) and I passed many hours with his collection of Duplos. Looking back, felt that some of these might be worth posting.

We have an annual tradition to hold a group shoot on New Year's Day, no matter how bad the conditions are. Unfortunately they were pretty bad at this event. Temps hovering around freezing, a mix of snow, slush, and rain, in a park that was mostly dead trees. Not my favorite venue. Despite that we had a decent model turnout. While everyone else was shooting in the woods I found a nice shelter and took a few photos.

The model here is Krissy. This was my second time shooting with her and I didn't recognize her. The first time was at a blood bath horror shoot and she was covered in fake blood. At this shoot she looked so sweet and classy. Krissy definitely dressed for the elements and we had a great shoot. She looked like a professional model showing off classy outdoor wear. I am really looking forward to shooting with her again!

a lot of aphids and aphid skins just visible on the plant - so I guess hover is laying eggs - garden, Hamworthy, Poole, Dorset, UK

Why get a traditional two wheel dolly (hand truck) when you can spend 100 times more money on a hover dolly.

Found this insect flitting around the boardwalk in Titchfield Haven so decided to see if I could get its photo. Not too shabby for a first attempt.

Another table-scrap MOC I built while I was cleaning off my worktable last week... and yet another MOC using those Bionicle claw/blade pieces. I think this ened up looking more like a snow-mobile than a speeder bike, but oh well.
