Announcing the latest Theme thread - NATURE GALLERIAS COMPENDIUM
Please limit links to the myriad of awesome photo and artist sites highlighting the wonders of Terra and her thin biosphere: plants-wildlife-rock/earth-water-sky (sorry, no pets-oriented or human-centric pix) and please refrain from "praise only" comments, as superfluous dialogue tends to make the excellent resources more difficult to find. Contributors instinctively know you're going to enjoy the links!

"Always on the look for interesting and exciting stories to tell, rather than just the single images.
And I like to tell the full story, both in text and in images.
Favourite story topics are usually subjects where man and nature meet, and the various results of it:
Nature travel, outdoor action, ecotourism, wildlife (especially large carnivores…), charismatic and often indigenous cultures, environmental issues, hunting, fishing and adventure, anywhere in the world.
A key word is respect."Caution: Some graphic content.

Ernst Haeckel's Die Natur als Kunstlerin (Nature as Artist). A paperback book from 1913 is a popular adaptation of Haeckel's landmark book, Kunstformen von der Natur (Art Forms in Nature) originally published in 1904. Haeckel was a biologist and an artist, and he merged both disciplines into a study of natural forms, shapes, symmetries and patterns from every aspect of the natural world.
Entire book with all 100 images in either 200 or 300 DPI or a downloadable PDF version.

No creamy that's a drop honey-water.
I wanted to feed the bumble-bees to get a good shot, but the ants were faster.
The bumble-bees preferred the natural stuff :http://www.picattic.com/files/qldrfjxyc6g559icgz5g.jpg

From above, sand seems like a bunch of tiny brown rocks, perhaps peppered with occasional shells or cigarette butts. But sand has a far more fascinating story to tell." Each Grain of Sand a Tiny Work of Art
