Description

I thought I'd get away from the dragonflies for a bit, just to break it up and then I remembered... Not too long ago Goodoleboy had some great images of bark, which reminded me that I had taken some bark pictures myself. So I opened up the file and started digging through... They were a little overexposed and some blurry, but I found a couple interesting enough to share. In this one, as I am examining the tree through the lens, I see a rusty thumbtack which caught my attention, then I spotted the web and then... lo and behold that thing with all the legs came crawling out of the bark. I am proud I did not run from the creepy-crawly...lol. The camera gives me courage! Thanks for viewing, and the kind comments on my previous upload, ~Hello~ . That was a really fun one for me, as well as a learning experience! Have a terrific day!

fantastic texture and I love the shadows and light that create the bumpy surface shot. That "thing" is a nice touch. Glad you took this shot and not me. I do not like those things much...

A terrific capture of the bumps, lumps, nooks, crannies and nodules of the tree bark, with that critter rushing out to protect its territory. Actually, the bark looks lot like my dry breakfast cereal close up -- minus the critter of course -- before I pour milk on top. Thanks for mentioning my bark photos. I had forgotten all about them and will have to begin posting them again.

Great image, the millipede is the first thing that I saw, since as a weird kid, I used to go out and catch them. They secrete defensive pheromones, which (for a weird kid like me) smelled rather nice, in a damp forest sort of way. They're great creatures, far more docile than the number of legs they have implies...they differ from centipedes because they have 2 pairs of legs per body segment. Anyway, enough of the critter...the whole image is great! I love the way you've captured such variety, the thumbtack, the web, the play of light and shadow. The whole thing just works wonderfully, and as I said, the millipede is a great find.
