Critters

Its been a long day of drawing, and I'm not done just yet haha. I had to get out of the house for a it though, so me and some buddies saw Identity Thief.. Pretty decent movie. Anyways here's some critters to check out.

Ant Doomsday
Hanging out at my buddy's house having a smoke and we saw this giant pile of ants, and one lone toad eating everything he could. 

Salamander 1-3
Hiking through Balls Falls, looking for critters. Under a big flat rock I found this salamander and was going to keep him, but pictures work just as well :)

Still Snowing.. So More Bugs!

Its been snowing here for the past day non-stop, yet surprisingly alot of people came in to eat.. Including a bunch of people who showed up on snowmobiles. True Canadians haha.
Anyways, here's a bunch of photos of bugs to help the warm weather come sooner.

Caterpillar 1
Caterpillar 2
Camping a few summers ago, this little guy landed on my leg. The blues and yellows looked really cool in the sunlight, and it was fun watching it just crawl around.
 
Millipede 1 

Millipede 2
 Iv never seen a millipede big enough to see the colours this clearly until I saw this one at Balls Falls.
 
Centipede
I never liked these things.. just something about the mass amount of legs, and being already flat.. Bugs aren't supposed to come pre-flattened.

Bugss

Its freezing out, but it wont be to long until it gets warm out, and with warmth come bugs... So that's what I'll be posting for a few nights unless this blizzard causes/makes something cooler to post.

Drying Off
I found a bee drying itself in the sun after a random summer rain. 

Clinging to Life
When I lived in Oakville I was sitting on my deck and saw a bee by the door crawling around. Being bored, I went to poke it  and saw it was missing its stinger and was pretty much dying. I did what came naturally and grabbed a camera and some honey. It ate the honey (You can see the proboscis sticking out) and lived for a few hours until I went in. Not sure what happened to it....

Flight of the Butterfly
A butterfly landing for some food on this plant. There were a few more but they flew off to quickly.

Caught
Another one from Oakville, and my favourite of the night. I was lucky enough to have my camera out when this spider caught this fly. It was really cool to watch.

Old School

Found one of my old high school pieces under a bunch of stuff.  I used an old film SLR older than me yet still functional. Mixing exposure times in the dark room gave this more of a dream scape feel instead of the normal boring continuity of perfect timing.

Industry and Nature

A couple photos I took awhile back in Vineland.

One Way
Railroad tracks by my old house. Follow the tracks and they take you to the tressel.

Raindrops
Taken right after the first summer rain. The original all green looks good, but I find this splash of colour to be a lot more interesting.

The Lost and Rusted

The old train tressel in Jordan is full of weird things.. In very odd spots..
-Nex

Rusted Shut
A combo lock rusted onto a metal loop 70' up the bridge. On the very edge. Possibly the most dangerous photo I've taken with one hand..

Solid Combo
A side view of the rusted lock. You can almost see how high up I am.

The Lost
A single child's shoe under the bridge surrounded by broken toys and random objects...

Unused Dials- Inside some old farm boat I found. Not sure how long its been there..
Full Size

Ship Wreck- A different angle of the interior. Looks like some animal was living in it. Might still run though, who knows..
Full Size



Dead End-Beside the old bridge is a path down.. which leads to this. Just an over grown wall.. Surprisingly hard to climb up though..
