You might spot me at Kirra Beach, the South-Eastern end of the Gold Coast, Australia,  if you like beach walking like myself... but there is more ! My son Jeff (*jif3d*, here at Rendo, it helps to advertise, ooops)... he took this pic of me in 2000, then manipulated it in photo-shop and it's still one of my favourites. Just very briefly about my past... *born in East Prussia; *grew up in Berlin, West Germany; *migrated to "OZ" in 1960, (not the Wizard of Oz) but...AUSTRALIA ! I guess  I was more into '2D' since early childhood, and thinking that my son Jeff may have inherited some of my artistic skills, because he translated them into '3D'. I am hooked on photography, since I discovered cameras... that's it in a nutshell. BTW - one of my fav.quotes.... ** I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is trying to please everybody !**                                              that's a wrap... Cheers Brigitte.

Spectacular and very colorful image! Looks like they are having quite an orgy. Keep them away from the young ones. They might mistake them for candy.

Those are bugs? They look like little foil wrapped Easter eggs, or maybe I just need chocolate. Amazing photo and fascinating. 22C is the perfect temperature for me, hope you find it warm enough on your summer visit to Europe! Both Mies and I have plenty of spare sweaters....

What a spectacular insects and shot, BB*-chen! They do look such incredible with all their colorful splendour, as if it's a shot from a SF movie. I have no idea how such an unusual thing could occur. Did you do a manipulation, or is Australia truly the land of the most fantastic creations? Well, dear I hope you can enjoy all which comes up with the lower temp. in your place, or pub. I'm curious what you'll show us next time, my friend.

What a lovely cluster BB and I feel sorry for you at 11 degrees - that is about average here in the UK and it's May coming on Summer !!

Very, very eye-catching BB. I feel your pain about the cool sliding to cold weather coming on in Australia. Tara and I have run from cold weather for the past eight months...now we are almost home in Washington looking forward to a sunny summer. Thanks for all your FWDs...they keep me entertained. You know just what I like:)

A stunning collection of beetles Brigitte - love the colors and clarity in zoom! Oz is a very special place for sure!

WOW.... so cool beetles I have not yet seen. They remind me more of glass beads from my childhood. But on a beer, I go with the beetles... Cheers
