I saw this on the side of my building and I thought it was kind of funny. The rolli poli here is not getting very far on the shed skin of a cicada. I hope you like it. Comments welcome and have a wonderful day! :)

Hey Ruby!!
Now you ruined that tasty cookie I was holding in my hand, 8~) (~8
Usually I'm not a big fan of flash (but you know that), I realize, of course, this shot wouldn't exist without,
Nicely done,

Thanks for sharing

Well this photo caused a discussion in the house. We were trying to figure out what the bug was and if it was gonna eat the rolli poli. Guess we should have read about it first. Very interesting photo. Nice capture :)

Just gave this very high marks in vb because of the clarity, and was also curious just what the heck it was. What is a rolli poli?

Lifes around said the 35 millimetre cameraman. Tip of the day get ahead, and go widescreen 1440 x 900 / 1200 x 900 don't fit the monitors!!

This is so very odd and interesting. It's cool that you can spot these tiny opportunities for pictures. Thanks for the comments on Dolphins.

Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. - Churchill
