365 Theme 57: Clown
Another image from my trip to Cabo San Lucas in April. This gentlemen wandered about the restaurant entertaining adults and children alike by making balloon "hats". This was my second trip to Cabo, second trip to this restaurant, and second visit by this clown. Had I been thinking I would have brought my 'real' camera with me. As it was all I had was my iPhone and its two megapixel camera.
365 Theme 111: From Ground Level
That's the view this snake has most of the time. Another image from the Warren Grove outing.
365 Theme 49: Chores
If you look closely you'll see a trail of shiny black things across the image from upper left to lower right. Ants. And if you look closer still you'll note that some of the ants are carrying oblong white objects. I believe these are pupa. I don't know why they were carrying them. There had been quite a bit of rain with more to come later that day, so perhaps the colony was flooded and they were looking for higher ground. Ants will also bring pupa out of the nest to warm them in the sunlight, but this day was completely overcast. The line of ants was several feet long, so I'm guessing the colony was on the move. A larger version can be found here.
I'm fascinated by ants. I find it amazing how the combined activity of a set of individuals, each with minimal brain power, can result in such complex behavior. Several jobs ago the group I managed gave me an ant farm for my birthday and I set it up in my office. As you might imagine it received a wide range of reactions by visitors. Larger version here.
365 Theme 266: Rusted
A macro shot of an old cable in the Warren Grove Bombing Range. I like the colors and the texture.
