This is a "Makhna", a tuskless bull elephant. These males grow up to be much larger than the usual tuskers and are way more unpredictable in behavior. This one is about to charge!
Submission for Active Assignment Weekly: Nov 30 - Dec 7 "Tension"
I see two forms of "Tension" here: 1) the tension between seasons, and 2) the natural tension of the plant covering itself so tightly. I did some post processing to remove distractions and get closer to the "tense" part of the flower.
Now THIS is a bit different than my usual posts!
I found the shed of a spider hanging out on one of my beggartick (Bidens spp.) plants today! Your guess is as good as mine on a species. My gut would say lynx spider due to the sheer presence, but the abdomen shape is all wrong.
I gotta say, I don't think I've ever seen a molt in the wild before. When I was a child, the library in my hometown had a tarantula that the staff would bring out occasionally for exhibition. One time, they showed us the molt right after she shed, and taught us about their lifecycle. Super cool, and probably the only other time I've ever seen one of these! This one is SUBSTANTIALLY smaller, luckily, but still a nice find. If anyone has any guesses, I'm all ears!
This shot was captured at 1:1 using my Vivitar (Komine) 90mm f2.8 Macro. This photo is uncropped. This husk formerly known as a spider was small, around 2-4mm or so.
Our cat Gus had been laying in a patch of sun, and did not want me to disturb his sunbathing by taking his picture! That's why he looks a little tense in this image. The good news is, after I snapped a couple of pictures, he went back to his nap in the sun. A little over a year ago, my wife and I adopted him from a local pet rescue organization. #Tension #FlickrFriday
We live in a unique time when the past is still with us and the future is rapidly developing. At first glance, you might not notice what I am writing about. Pay attention to the buildings and the cars. These buildings were built around 1900, and the cars are less than 10 years old. That is, the difference is more than 100 years. Could the builders of these houses have imagined that such cars would be parked nearby?
