Hey everyone,
Thought it would be good to have a thread for any nature pictures of close up small things you found on your adventures.  Flowers, animals, minerals whatever......if you found it outdoors in nature's tiny world, this is the perfect thread to share it in.  Post em' up!Here is one to start it off that I shot recently. I know Denise just love's the flowers so the first one is for her. Hibiscuss flower nearly 12" across  -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Very cool, and thanks for the heads up! I will make sure I don't dip my toes too long in the shores of Spinney next time i'm there.
 I haven't been able to get out as much this year yet, but I sure have been seeing some strange things around our place. Here is a cool little lizard that surprised me in the garden....Or was it me that surprised it? It looked like a snake, but moved like lightning and had legs.  This was the best picture I could get of it hiding. I didn't want to harass it, so I took the picture and left it alone. Poor things was breathing like it had ran a marathon from my scare. I just wish I had gotten a better look at it to see what kind it was.
