Otter-ly cute ! ......... by jdmphotography
Otters have long, slim bodies and relatively short limbs, with webbed paws. Most have sharp claws on their feet, and all have long muscular tails. They have a very soft underfur which is protected by their outer layer of long guard hair. This traps a layer of air, and keeps them dry and warm under water. Most otters have fish as the primary item in their diet, supplemented by frogs, crayfish and crabs. Some are expert at opening shellfish, and others will take any available small mammals or birds. Otters are playful animals, for example sliding repeatedly down snowy slopes, apparently from sheer enjoyment. Click on Magazines above ! I will donate 100% of proceeds from the sales of this image to the: “WSPA” “Otter-ly cute ! .........” was featured in Top Shelf Wildlife & Nature” group …

Damselfly (Orange) by Marleia Main
It’s getting colder so this may be the last Damselfly photo for 2009 :( / Glass lake, N.Y. USA The Damselfly (Suborder Zygoptera) is an insect in the Order Odonata. Damselflies are similar to dragonflies, but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most damselflies are held along, and parallel to, the body when at rest. Furthermore, the hindwing of the damselfly is essentially similar to the forewing, while the hindwing of the dragonfly broadens near the base, caudal to the connecting point at the body. Damselflies are also usually smaller, weaker fliers than dragonflies, and their eyes are separated.(wiki)

Side Burn! - Lions Mane by Voltaire Carlos
Canon 5D Mk2 65 MPE Macro @ 5X Ringlite Flash Handeheld ISO 400 F9 1/200 sec Cronulla NSW Most of us have probably heard that the world’s bee population is declining – from Britain to New Zealand and throughout the United States, crops and wildflowers are being affected by this issue. Recently, scientists have had success in treating parasitic infection in bee hives, giving us new hope in halting the decline. From wikipedia’s entry on pollinators: “Millions of hives of honey bees are contracted out as pollinators by beekeepers, and honey bees are by far the most important commercial pollinating agents, but many other kinds of pollinators, from bluebottle flies, to bumblebees, orchard mason bees, and leaf cutter bees are cultured and sold for managed pollination.” You can choose to become a beekeeper, perhaps by taking a beekeeping school course in your area, and becoming licensed to keep bees. There are lots of resources online with information for beginning beekeepers, places to buy beekeeping equipment, and forums in which you can post questions about bees. As a bonus, if you raise honey bees, the local pollen in the honey can help relieve allergies, however you may want to use caution in eating local honey. Helping the bees out might be enough reason to take up the hobby, but another good reason is to help your garden flourish. Perhaps keeping bees yourself is just more work or time than you care to invest. There are other ways to contribute as well. Maybe you can host a hive for another beekeeper. Or, you can choose to provide environments that need less maintenance like a bumblebee nest box, which you can build (easier to build a bumblebee box in the US, as most places to purchase seem to be in UK) or just purchase a bumblebee home. Another common bee you can host is the mason bee – there are starter kits available, as well as other more attractive mason bee houses. Finally, even if you don’t choose to host any bees in your space, you can provide a bee-friendly garden. Bees are attracted to blue, purple, yellow and white. Old-fashion shrubs with nectar-rich blossoms like lilac, honeysuckle and azalea are bee magnets. Heirloom flowers like cosmos, zinnia, aster and daisies lure them with the promise of pollen. Herbs such as mint, hyssop, salvia, lavender and thyme are covered with bees during bloom time. Select a variety of flowers which will bloom at different times throughout the year for a steady supply of nectar and pollen. There’s a wealth of bee-friendly options, so finding plants that work with your existing garden shouldn’t be too hard.
About This Group
There are a number of eye groups here on RB, but none of them focus on closeups of eyes. Here we want to focus on the detail of the eyes, this can be as closeup as you can make it. Eye macros, nothing showing a full face will be accepted (half of a face is generally acceptable or an image where the face is significantly cropped to be the main focus). It must be a closeup of an eye. As for traditional artwork, paintings, drawings, etc… as long as there is significant focus on an eye(s) we will allow it.
See the artwork accepted into the group gallery as an example of what we are looking for. All art medias are welcome, with the exception of writing.
