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 :

Curious Expeditions presents Living Lights: A Glowing Compendium
"Curious Expeditions has endeavored to present our readers with a short list of the most luminescent animals, plants, and locations around the world. We hope it transfixes and astounds you as much as it does us."
One of our cats always tried to catch fireflys.
Usually she was a cute, cuddly little kitten, but when those glowing flies came, she became a meowing, growling and hissing beast.
really cool, maizey.
This timelapse was created by Dave Allen, BBG's Web Manager, from over 3,000 digital photos, one taken every 3 minutes from April 18 to April 26, 2008, of Brooklyn Botanic Garden's famed Cherry Walk.
really nice, thanks.

Folks, not wanting to be a wet blanket here, but please refer to the guide for posting in this INDEX. This themed thread was intended as a pure compendium, sans banter, compliments, filler, etc. Thankew for your support.
Sorry Rune, I'll try to remember
this is beautiful:

"When you take a moonlit stroll on the beach, how often do you think about the tiny grains of sand creeping in between your toes? 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

National Geographic - Toxic nudibranchs—soft, seagoing slugs—produce a brilliant defense
Nudibranchs crawl through life as slick and naked as a newborn. Snail kin whose ancestors shrugged off the shell millions of years ago, they are just skin, muscle, and organs sliding on trails of slime across ocean floors and coral heads the world over.
Found from sandy shallows and reefs to the murky seabed nearly a mile down, nudibranchs thrive in waters both warm and cold and even around billowing deep-sea vents. Members of the gastropod class, and more broadly the mollusks, the mostly finger-size morsels live fully exposed, their gills forming tufts on their backs. (Nudibranch means "naked gill," a feature that separates them from other sea slugs.) Although they can release their muscular foothold to tumble in a current—a few can even swim freely—they are rarely in a hurry. (more in the Feature Article...
Plants have an important part in our lives, from the clothes on our back to the food that we eat. Plant Cultures invites you to discover more about South Asian plants and the stories they have inspired.

Stunning photography! Tristan Campbell is an extraordinary and modest photographer who's categories include landscapes, seascapes, skies, trees, sunsets, sunrises and more. You won't be disappointed!
Wow.. some of the photos are awesome.. that aurora borealis was unbelievable! And the Tristan Campbell photos are beautiful. Maybe with my new camera I can get some pretty sky and landscape shots. We took a collection of pictures around here of old barns and houses built in the old days, printed them out as 8x10's and framed them for the living room walls.. kinda neat!
"There are approximately 10,000 bird species on this beautiful planet. Here at 10,000 Birds we expect to not only see but eventually photograph or write about every single one! (I know, we have ambitions bigger than Saturn, but it does no harm to dream…)"
"Anyway, your hosts are developing a serious interest in photography. We’ve consequently begun to amass a rather large collection of photos, and rather than squirrel them away on our hard-drives we’ve decided that you may like to see them instead."
maizeydaze.......nice link,...thanks,....LOTS of birds to see!

Hey there, Paul, I've been biting my tongue for some time, but at the risk of being further ostracized, I just gotta ask... if neither an unambiguous PREFACE nor several additional polite requests that visitors REFRAIN from littering this (and certain other) theme threads with the typical "thank you posts" and random chit chat sinks in, what exactly will it take? Unfortunately, we lack the awesome power of a moderator to purge whatever we don't like to see on a forum, so we were hoping that people would HONOR a pretty simple request. Personally, I'd love to know why that isn't working, because I launched this with hopes it'd serve as a beautiful library-type resource, not a chat room. TIA
