dankie letermagog!
En daar is 'n hele skool met modelle. Nice shots!
yip, johan, dis ongelooflik wat als op mens se werf is!
Dit is waar die meeste geleenthede is vir fotos! They outnumber us by far! Ek het nou al meer as 200 organismes in my erf afgeneem.
Dankie Johan. Die macro ding het my so gevang, dat ek skoon opgewonde oor 'n gogga raak!
Nice shots Mari! En wie't nou gedink jy gaan bugs so bestudeer!
