If you know anything about me, you know I love tiny things. I have been amazed, stunned, inspired by the work of Anatoly Konenko. I first saw his tiny aquarium, which then led me to his website. Prepare to be blown away.
Ruby and I wandered around the NC Museum of Life & Science today. I love how this iPhone photo captured a moment of wonder in Ruby’s reflection on the glass of the poison dart exhibit. Always keep your eyes open and your camera at the ready.
I found this while editing some photos from last Spring. I just love it.
This is a re-posting. I am adding two photos of snowflakes I took yesterday (Dec 4, 2010) in Durham, NC. I could not believe we had snow! I ran outside and shot these macros hand-held. Not great, but I was so excited. Will get out more this winter and work on some new techniques. It’s [...]
So amazing. I just love this. Learn more about electric eels and see some beautiful photos, here. HT: @edyong209 via Twitter and Tracy Staedter at Discovery.com here.
I never get tired of watching these animations of cellular processes. I’ve linked to an earlier animation several years ago (music version; narrated version), and as amazing as that was, it just keeps getting better. To see a really nice quality of this animation, go here.

I’ve just got to figure out a way to take photos like this (another beauty from the Nikon Small World contest previous winners). Peter Parks, Atlanta peronii (gastropod mollusk) (170X)
We’ve lived in Durham, NC, for a full year. While we were somewhat prepared to endure the hot and humid summers, we had no idea what we were in for with pollen. But we have learned quickly. We are fortunate because we don’t have allergies to deal with. But we still had to learn to [...]
I was inspired today when I viewed this blog: Where I Write: Fantasy & Science Fiction Authors in their creative spaces. I started to wonder what the things you keep around your office say about you, your work, your inspiration. Then I decided to get brave. I took some photos of my own office space… [...]
Seen at the NC Botanical Garden this week. I’ve been seeing spirals everywhere this week! I’m loving my new Panasonic GF1. Hoping to sell a bunch of books and get a macro lens. This shot was taken with the 20mm f1.7 micro four thirds “pancake” lens. Still learning the camera, but having lots of fun. [...]
