MacroMonday's: Wet
Tried something a little different because I couldn't think of anything beside a water drop for the topic "Wet".
Milk Explosion: Directions: In a bowl of milk add 1 drop of red, blue, and yellow food coloring. Next add 1 drop of dish soap. As soon as you add the dish soap a wonderful explosion of colors and swirls begin! What fun!!

Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand--Weaver ants sometimes called green ants make their home in the trees and bushes. They bend leaves into tent like structures and glue the seams together with 'silk' that they squeeze from their larva. This ant is extending to grasp another leaf to make another tent.
This insect are just one of the many critters you can find in Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife. As Runstedt Rovillos has introduced me to rare species that I will be posting later.
4mm big.
Jumps farther and higher than the jumping spiders I've photographed. Moves very fast, too. But, like the cheetah, stops after a short burst. Runs out of gas fast, maybe.

Walking along the path, I spot
puffy white orb-
A Dandelion
a weed
Infinitely more beautiful than its
grassy fellows
endless, identical
To Me
I feel akin to this fluffy oddball
I am drawn
childlike
I grasp the delicate stem,
Bringing it near to my lips
Make a Wish
a prayer.
I wish for peace,
in the world
in my heart
I wish for love,
true love
I wish for direction,
hope
I blow with all my breath
wish with all my being-
Disperse
miniature white parachutes.
In my mind-
I Too
Detach
in a million different directions,
I Am
the hopes
the dreams
the prayers
the wishes
of a world
a generation;
my peers
my family
Myself-
I Am Blown.
Carried by a passing breeze
soft, gentle then-
Grabbed by a far more violent gust
I fall
tumble
rise
twist
Change directions.
I have traveled far-
have far yet to travel
not sure how far
I Am Not Lost-
just searching
for a purpose
a reason
an answer
a place to land
to stay-
To Take Root.

A fellow Flickr member as informed me that this type is known as "Milky White Agate"

Spotted in my neighbour's garden yesterday. Our kitchen is still a work in progress. Tomorrow the plumber is coming to disconnect the gas stove and the rest of the cupboards have to be taken out ready for the new cupboards on Wednesday. As we won't have a stove, benches or sink for 10-12 days, tonight will be our last home cooked meal for quite a while.
Minute creature...It size ranges from 1-9 mm in length. And as you can see he has nice long legs and a slender build. Most of the species are a metallic green and blue or a metallic green and bronze. Some may be a yellow that is non-metallic as well.

echinacea day for night macro shot. use of shade and bright lighting contrast. the scene is a front yard garden with other flowering plants directly behind, a brick sidewalk on the left and parked cars in the street far left and background.
These are one of my favourite flowers - the exquisite Hoya. I always think these tiny flowers look like they are made of fleecy fabric with teeny pearl buttons sewn into each centre : ) They grow in a fairly tight cluster, which is ball-shaped. Taken at the Calgary Zoo on 9th May 2011.
