Somersault festival 2015, Devon (UK)

Perhaps one of the better distractions in my office is a mini etch a sketch. Students and professors alike appreciate the activity. #smallthings #happy

dr_jt_taylor: Man, I could never make anything on that thing. I was forever shaking it to start over.

turtlemyth: Hehe, it's there to help keep peeps calm, it works 😃

I like the big picture as much as the next guy. However, it seems the more I pay attention to the little things, quite often just before I step on them, the more simple beauty I discover. This shell was on the beach in Mobile Alabama. The more I looked at it, the more I liked the small simple details of life washed up on the beach.

i photographed this dragonfly eating a fly on the firetrail near where i live ..

for ppl who dont know the anatomy of dragonflies ..this one has it's mouth wide open ..

also, as they eat a fly, i'm not sure exactly how, but gradually the 'meal' loses shape and becomes like a black gooey mass .. maybe the dragonfly's juices break it down .. this is all visible before being swallowed .. its extremely gross and very interesting .. !!

Things sometimes look a little different from her perspective.

I found the spider here fascinating, she set up housekeeping in a fake plant, and the grandbabies noticed her. K. isn't nuts about spiders, she finds my ease with them wierd. Anyway she's a harmless little garden spider, and I think my daughter didn't want to do anything about her with me around. My people don't kill spiders, there is a gaes on our family about that.
