Hungry ants clamour to get their hands on a piece of chocolate brownie that had been left on a pile of leaves.
Known in Indonesia as the Rang-Rang, the insect lives in colonies where each
has their own role as either worker, drone or queen.

I choose a meme tonight simply because this is one of the best I have seen.
The caption is purr-fect due to the look on the lioness’s face.

This is one day of my Project 365: A Photo a Day for a Year. So, please check out the new additions.
The Balloonist’s Prayer:
May the winds welcome you with softness.
May the sun bless you with its warm hands.
May you fly so high and so well that God joins you in laughter
And sets you gently back into the loving arms of Mother Earth.

are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

This is a photo I took of my camcorder that I had recording me eating King Crab while in Seattle.
(Does that make sense?)
You can see me in the camcorder screen.

This is a photo I took of a little girl playing in a park.
Children have neither past nor future; they enjoy the present, which very few of us do.

I just love this photo. The quality may not be that good, but the content is what is exceptional.
I do not have any history on this photo, therefore I am unsure of what country this was taken in.
I am guessing India by the style of clothing.
The look on the native children makes me grin from ear to ear as they marvel at the little blond girl.
And the blond girl is precious standing there in amazement in her tiny croc’s.
A there is a lesson many should learn here and that is simply not to hate what is different in others,
but rather to embrace and enjoy.
“There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle,
or you can live as if everything is a miracle.”

Meet Landon.
His father, Marine LCPL Carpenter, gave his life defending our country in Afghanistan earlier this year,
a month before his son was born. Baby Landon’s Mom wants his story to be known.
Take a moment to share this photo with your friends and reflect on the price of freedom.
Never forget the price of freedom.

Taos Pueblo
“Place of the Red Willows”
On a plaque in the Taos Visitors Center is written:
“The oldest continuously inhabited community in the United States has been acknowledged by historians
to be our home for more than 1,000 years.
They speculate about where we came from, but we already know the answer:
We have been here since time immemorial.”
This is a photo I took November 2010.

When Kevin Kirkpatrick, a famous Hollywood make-up artist, is not busy on the set, he has a hobby of creating prosthetic models of cartoon characters. I find this picture of Beavis and Butthead to be very disturbing.

I wish I knew the story behind this picture, but I do not.
The white wolf in it is magnificent, and appears to have touched the heart of the woman in the wheelchair.

Found this cute little cartoon drawing circulating on Facebook.
I have no idea as to the origination, but thought it was very creative the way the cartoon man is blowing out the actual flame.
