Offroading in Fairbanks, Alaska in one of the shortest days of the year, December 20. Temperature this day was -20 Fahrenheit and we managed not to break anyone's rig. We rode through the muskeg (swamp), snowy hills, tight snow machine trails and frozen streams. Riding in Alaska is a blast!
Taken with my cheap reversed ring 50/1.4 with extension rings macro set-up.
From what I have found, this little guy is a Long Nosed Weevil (Rhinotia hemistictus). This one really didn't want his portrait taken. He kept moving away from the lens that was almost right on top of him. He didn't immediately fly away though, he just kept moving away until finally I got him at the perfect position..right on the corner of my deck's railing. I couldn't have asked for a better shot.
Some info on these little bastards:
"Many weevils are damaging to crops. The grain or wheat weevil (Sitophilus granarius) damages stored grain. The boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis) attacks cotton crops. It lays its eggs inside cotton bolls, and the young weevils eat their way out."

This pic was flipped so the reflection is at the top and the actual trees are below. I took the photo with the intent of reversing it because the lake was so peaceful it resembled a pane of glass.
This area gets 20- to 30-foot tides each day and, for half of the day, the water is so high that the sea level is above the river level, causing the water to flow inland. The other half of the day, the opposite is the case. While the water flows, turbulence-causing boulders and terrain make the narrow passage impossible for boats to traverse. Only during the two slack tides each day can boats pass. These slack tides only last for 20-30 minutes. The passage, though, is really good for fishing, so fishermen will often come in during one slack tide, pull their boat up on the rocks, fish all day (effectively "stuck" in their location for the duration), then leave during the next slack tide.
Precision reversing from Tornado at Heywood Station, as it prepares to pull the train for the return journey to Rawtenstall.
My Most favorite water.
Most people don't realize how important their ph is. The inside of your body should be slightly alkaline. Cancer cannot survive in a slightly alakaline eviroment. Most diseases are caused by stress. Stress creates an acidic enviroment. So eat your vegetables as they contain minerals that nuetralize your ph. And drink essestia water. Not trying to sound like a commercial. i just really believe in this.

I know he's a wild animal born into bondage, forced into being a pet. However, had we not adopted him, god knows what negligent little brat would have taken him home to die young.
It has always been my goal, that once Addie and I have a house, we will have a fairly large greenhouse that Vince will live in, with plenty of live, growing plants for him to graze on.
