Sunday Selections #12

I take a lot of photos and most of them are just sitting around in folders on my desktop not doing anything. I thought that a dedicated post once a week would be a good way to share some of these photos that  otherwise wouldn’t be seen by anyone other than me.

I am also remarkably absent minded and I put photos into folders and think  that I will publish them later on and then then I never do.

So I  have started a photo meme that anyone can join in and play as well. The rules are so simple as to be virtually non existent.

Just add your name and URL to the Mr Linky.

Publish your photos on your blog using the “Sunday Selections” title.

Link back here to me.

Easy Peasy.

    I really like the last picture.

  • Sam @ Learn. Create. Do. March 27, 2011, 8:39 am

    I love macro pics. What fascinating hungry little creatures.

    The skeletonizers look like little strings of gold and black beads.
    Are they really that shiny? Or is it from a flash?
    The light through the leaf it very pretty.

    My selection is up too.

    They are really that shiny River. I don’t use the flash on my camera as it makes the photos look icky.

    Fascinating to see nature in action like this and even though it’s probably not a good thing to have caterpillars eating their way through your garden, nature is what nature is and the last image is quite beautiful.

  • Jay from The Depp Effect March 27, 2011, 9:08 am

    Oh, I do like your little caterpillars – and that skeleton leaf too! 🙂

  • Kellie March 27, 2011, 9:28 am

    I love bug pix, as you know!! The first caterpillar photo is incredible. You’re inspiring me to want to get out and take some more.
    Really wanted to be part of Sunday Selection today, but didn’t want to bore people with pix of kids (as if my readers don’t already see enough for them. LOL!)
    Will jump back onboard again next week! 🙂

    The gum leaf skeletonizers only eat the leaves from the Eucalyptus trees. So they don’t do any damage to the veggies or the ornamentals.

    I took these photos thinking the textures would look good on some pots and then I forgot about them.

  • Pixie March 27, 2011, 9:33 am

    gorgeous pics as always my dear.

    I love the last one!!!

  • Elephant's Child March 27, 2011, 9:52 am

    Love the caterpillars, though they make me itch just looking. Thank you.

  • Nikki aka Widdle Shamrock March 27, 2011, 11:53 am

    Hehe, my fav is the middle one as we are caterpillar MAD here.

    Though I would buy the 3rd one as a print and hang it on the wall.

  • Mrs. Oh March 27, 2011, 12:46 pm

    Love the texture Kim! My email is giving me fits so I am sorry I haven’t replied to you yet. All is well 🙂 Hubby is up for a premotion at work – I told him if he got it that in 2-3 years we are taking a nice long expensive vacation. You won’t ever guess where I want to go – but if I get there you best have my vase!

  • Starfish March 27, 2011, 12:50 pm

    I love the clarity in the last photo, what sort of camera do you have?

  • sharon March 27, 2011, 1:06 pm

    Do those caterpillars turn into butterflies or moths Kim? We have lots of moths at the moment. In fact if we left the outside lights on we could use them as insulation 😉

    I like the third photo best, the colours are so cool looking it’s almost like frost.

  • Toushka Lee March 27, 2011, 4:42 pm

    amazing photos Kim!!
    I’m linking up for the first time today.

  • Kakka March 27, 2011, 5:05 pm

    Great photos Kim – love the patterns in nature.

  • Dorothy March 27, 2011, 5:06 pm

    Love macro photography, even if hate all things creepy crawly….! Nice work, Kim….

    I need to organise my photos, so hard to find good stuff to link up to. And I keep finding photos of my ex – eek!

  • katepickle March 27, 2011, 5:21 pm

    ooh love the leaf skeleton!
    We found some furry leaf eaters on our walk today but they were BIG fat ones!

  • carolina March 27, 2011, 6:44 pm

    That hairy, snakelike creatures like these transform into totally different flying creatures is a fascinating, magical trick of Mother Nature I think. We have a couple of shrubs in the garden that get gobbled up by hundreds of small caterpillars every year. I don’t mind. And one of our labradors doesn’t mind either. She loves the tiny creatures. As a snack that is. Weird dog. I have never seen the other two labs eating caterpillars.

    Anyway…. that last shot is beautiful 😉

  • del March 27, 2011, 8:34 pm

    After meeting you last weekend I just had to drop by and join in!
    I love your fuzzy caterpillar shots, I have often wondered who the culprits for the leaf skeletons were!

  • Ali March 27, 2011, 8:51 pm

    That third leaf is really beautiful. You could blow that up and put it on a wall, you could. Lovely.

  • Run DMT March 27, 2011, 9:03 pm

    Love the macro photo of the leaf. The caterpillars… not so much. lol They gave me the eevie geevies. lol They remind me of the caterplillars my youngest daughter caught last year that morphed into oak moths. So gross.

    You can read about that experience here:

    First time visiting here and I am so glad I did! What a fun meme!

  • Liz March 27, 2011, 10:20 pm

    The leaf skeleton is so beautiful!

  • Avril March 28, 2011, 8:08 am

    Intricate leaf – beautiful! Caterpillars – hairy but nice!!

  • Audrey Mango March 28, 2011, 11:23 am

    Whoa! I thought “Aww, how cute!” when I saw the first one and then, “AHH! How terrifying!” when I saw them all grouped and devouring. Dear! I hope the plant came out okay.

  • Tanya March 28, 2011, 7:09 pm

    Lovely, reminds me of my childhood. I loved watching them eat the leaves…even though the poor plant is literally a skeleton.

  • Diary of Joni & Anya March 29, 2011, 7:40 pm

    Awesome photos! I am a frustrated photographer and have lots of trial photos in my HD. So will join in next week.
