Great pics Hawkewind! Those are Capybaras near the water.....aka "master of the grass". The worlds largest rodent.
I just kind of blazed past the spider pic. I couldnt imagine having that thing on my leg, let alone having it bite me......sheesh! Spiders are not one of my favorites. Id much rather take a swim in that last picture. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

I've been following and enjoying this thread since I've Joined CP. Thought I would contribute several of my nature close-ups from prospecting and others from my fly fishing adventures.

swizz, Is that a small pothole in that boulder? ASTROBLEME It is indeed. Unfortunately, it's not in a stream or locale that is known for gold deposits. I took that pic while I was on a flyfishing trip. It was also taken prior to my pursuit of prospecting and small scale mining. They aren't nearly the size of the ones in your thread. In hindsight... and looking at that image, I think I may go back and scoop them out just for grins. Could be some interesting stuff in the samples. There are several other huge boulders in that stretch with carved potholes (one is visible in the background with exposed pothole). hmmmmm -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

That's what I was thinkin' too Swizz.
Hmmmmmmmm Couldn't hurt to check them holes in the rocks out and see what's in them. Nope, Denise didn't burn the lens taking the candle close up either. Her husband was in the background telling her not to burn her hair and or the lens. -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

I was extra careful not to get my hair or the camera. I would dive in, and quickly take the pic.
I was never over the candle for more than 2 seconds. Then I zoomed into the picture and cropped it out. Im always pushing the cameras abilities it seems. You never know what Im going to take a picture of. I was even out in a very cold windy snowstorm taking pics, and the camera started to get too cold for working properly. You have to push the limits to get the good pics I think. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

So I found out that it is possible to take a picture, crop it out and tag it without actually looking at it.
