Thanks you guys! I used to enter tons of contests but I never won anything, oh well :P

That blows. We had something similar at my cottage, they did some logging in the mountains and when it rained it made the streams really dirty and most of the trout died off, we went from catching 15-20 a day easily to 1-2 a week (we released them all from that point on to allow them to repopulate but its still pretty bad.

Wow, I think things like that are just so horrible! nobody seems to think of what could happen

[stephanbakir]

It probably wouldn't have taken much forethought, considering its a known problem.
Hows your cottage now?

[Wolfus_305]

The cottage itself is good. up in the muskoka, ont, area.
Still not too much wildlife because the neighbours are still hunting everything. But they aren't allowed to hunt on our property and we have lots of gardens to try and encourage birds and bugs to stay around our place :P
We had no rabbits or deers eat the garden last year, no bear knock over the compost. it was quite sad really.
Oh, that reminds me, i can't find the picture because i don't know what computer it's on, but when i find it i will post it. There was this little thing at the garden and we thought it was a hummingbird, but our bug neighbour told us it was a rare moth, a hummingbird sphinx.
here's a pretty decent video of one: YouTube - Hummingbird Sphinx Moth

Thank you Greg! I like spiders, but I prefer walking up to them, not being surprised when they are inches from my face :P

Yes!!! isn't it the coolest thing ever!!! I love that moth! (i still can't find my picture of it. oh well. when i do i'll post it)

You can call me Kendra. I just use the canon powershot G9. I have a macro lens but I am usually too lazy to find it and put it on the camera. I don't have a tripod for the same reason, I like taking pictures of bugs and living things and if I run to get a tripod I'll lose the shot. I got my first camera 5 years ago when I was in gr 8 and I fell in love with taking pictures

OHMYGOSH! if I woke up and there was a tarantula on my leg I would be out of that bed so quickly and screaming and completely freaking out :P

awesome! love talking shop with other shutterbugs. you really should give that macro lens a try. it's a whole 'nother world. but you are right, the subjects will not always stick around long enough for you. i have been a paid professional for over 10 years and i have never entered any contests. i'm not against them, i just never did it.

the grasshopper on the flower is worth framing.

[Wolfus_305]

Thank you for the kind words

I am picking out flower pictures to put in the kitchen cabinets that I started working on over a year ago, it's about time I finish them.

Sometimes I got out with my macro lens on, I've used it, I like it, I just don't always have time for it.

Finally found the hardcopy of the hummingbird sphynx moth

[stephanbakir]

I need to find me one of these.
