503 - 2nd - Ready to fly

Originally clicked and upladed by - Pratosh Dwivedi - 2nd May'09

This insect was so small that I actually didnt notice it at first. I was trying to get a small flower in focus when I notice this shiny blue sky sitting on a dry leaf. I didnt have my macro lens mounted and changing the lens would have taken at least a minute; but still I decided to test my luck and quickly changed my lens. By the time I was ready I could still see the insect perched on the dry twig.

I could just see the bright color of the insect when I clicked this photo. Only after trabsferring it to my laptop and seeing the enlarged view, I could see all the tiny details. Click the image and see the full sized version; there are many interesting details hidden there :)

502 - 1st - A little greenary

Originally clicked and uplaoded by - Pratosh Dwivedi - 1st May'09

The crystal white sand at the beaches of Merida was almost blinding under the shining Sun. The vegetation near the beaches is scarce with only some protected species of a type of sea-weed growing here and there. I was searching for some shells and conchs when I noticed this small plant sprouting out of the white sand. Give that there were no other signs of life nearby and the absolute contrast the green color of the weed was giving with the white sand, it looked as if someone has deliberately placed a twig on the ground.

Amazing color combinations nature has in it's kitty :)
