Bryan Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I try to recycle plastic as much as possible, and there are loads of uses in the garden. Here are some cyclamen seedlings growing in a spread container, with an outer water trough which contained food. I used a heated bicycle spoke to puncture the bottom of the inner container to enable drainage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I read recently that since we no longer get our groceries in plastic bags people are buying a lot more plastic garbage bags. Of course. Those bags that we carried home went to line our garbage cans. Switching to the more expensive biodegradable bags seems like it would be a more realistic solution.

cbimages Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 More of the same from me, but with a bit of a theme this time - "tucker time". Which is aussie for meal time, or dinner time - you'll get the gist in the photos. The first couple were all about luck. I look for this praying mantis every day as it lives on the same bush, and I was waiting to get a chance to shoot the arms away from the body, for the orange and blue colours underneath. This day, I found it, was disappointed that the arms were tucked away - and as I was standing there, a damselfly landed right next to it. Lightening fast the mantid grabbed the damselfly and started to eat the poor thing alive, and I got to take photos while it was thrashing about as it's eyes and head were devoured. It only took minutes for the whole thing to be eaten. Next is a leaf curling spider that has just started to eat a silk wrapped dragonfly, then a dragonfly eating a damselfly, and a damselfly eating a green midge. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Bell Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) If S images are allowed to appear on the Alamy forum then A/PA might as well merge the two together. (Sorry about this Lisa I am/we are NOT getting at you or complaining about your S images appearing here. And very nice images they are too and if they were mine I would be splashing them about as well. Just wondering what Alamy are up to because we are not even allowed to discuss S on here.)

Allan I'm pretty sure we are allowed to point users to the app. Just questions and discussions about it should be directed at staff. So the question how did you get a phone image on Alamy can be safely answered with: using the app. Maybe I should borrow my wife's iPad and try it sometimes. Then I would know what I'm talking about. No chance using my Samsung, Archos or Xiaomi Pro. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gvallee Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I love scrolling through this thread and see the diversity of subjects. I will add some very different images myself.

By sheer coincidence, I archived 5 minutes ago a series of pix of two male Black Whipsnakes fighting. The images are too small for Alamy. What a shame. The fight lasted a long time, we left before the end. We didn't know what kind of snakes they were and we were standing about 3m away. It turned out that they are the fastest snakes in Australia and highly poisonous. And quite long as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
