"I think I've got something in my eye"

Nature is Beautiful
There are so many wonderful things all around us that we've never actually seen. Those who have seen the documentary series The Blue Planet and Planet Earth know what we're talking about. We could probably all make an effort to better appreciate these wonders, and a welcome side effect would probably be more eco-awareness.

100% agreement.
Nature is beautiful, or ugly as hell. Looking at these two pictures, I can't decide.
When I was looking at the dragonfly (?) at the top, I thought I was looking at digital art. Being a closet bug nerd all my life, I'm glad to know what a huge role some insect play in our environment/economy.
For those interested (and perhaps for credit in the original post as well!!!), the photo is taken by Martin Amm, the referenced site shamelessly copied the photo without giving credits. More here: http://photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=582278
sorry, the correct link is http://photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=2109438 (and the photo here: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6687694)

And for completeness, the photo of the bee was taken by John Kimbler/Dalantech: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dalantech/1093856202/
