My manager at work loves black licorice (and so do I). I am always on the look out for new types to give her. This one was from W Germany.
this little aphid was in a pink and white rose, but when I put my lens between the petals to get closer, the lighting changed, resulting in this yellow and lavender shot, resembling the famous canyon smoothed by years of water erosion. I posted another shot of this scene under the same title back in June of 2009. See www.flickr.com/photos/gab57/3596081935/. It is still one of my favorite shots. Many photographers have taken a photo of the actual Antelope Canyon, but since I may not get out there to do the same, I feel fortunate I have this substitute in my own neighborhood.

I liked this bubble reflection the best because of the hidden face in there! I love finding faces in things :)
Distinguishable Spider...Jumping spiders are among the easiest to distinguish from similar spider families because of the shape of the cephalothorax and their eye patterns.

This tiny damselfly went straight to me, to land on my arm. I guess it wanted me to shoot a quick portrait.
Ce tout petit Ceriagrion a foncé sur moi pour se poser sur mon bras. Je pense qu'il voulait que je lui tire le portrait.
This bugger flew into my tea! I scooped him out and he sat there drying himself off for a couple minutes so I grabbed the camera and took a couple shots before he flew off.

Así tan intensamente contemplé la belleza,
que plena está mi vista de ella.
Líneas del cuerpo. Labios rojos. Miembros voluptuosos.
Cabellos como tomados de estatuas griegas:
siempre hermosos, aun cuando están despeinados,
y caen, un poco, sobre las frentes blancas.
Rostros del amor, tal como los anhelaba
mi poesía ... en las noches de mi juventud,
en mis noches, furtivamente, hallados...
