Sand bubbler crab
When I see them eating sand, I'm always reminded of that line in Raising Arizona.

Proof that Spring has FINALLY arrived here in Southern Alberta even if the crocus does have a touch of frost. Taken this morning along the Trans Canada Trail in NE Calgary.

Hi Jack,

Heartwarming images to start our week here in central England (where some of the mud has started to dry!) - let's hope it's a sign of good things to come.

Thank you for sharing...

Hi David,

Fantastic! An absolute classic - the perfect subject pose and setting with superb detail.

(Reminds us of the 'scintillating jewelled scuttling crabs' in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... ).

Thank you for sharing...

Some evening images from our recent return visit to ‘The Village’, Portmeirion, Gwynedd, Wales.

(A big advantage when staying here - we were in the motorhome campsite - is you can visit after the day visitors have left and before they begin arriving again).

(Shot raw and processed with: DxO PL Elite/ ViewPoint and Adobe LrC/ PS with Tony Kuyper TK-9 Panels).

Great set of photos Phil. I really like the star bursts in #6. You two go to a lot of amazing places, Thanks for the pics.

Hi Jack,

Cheers - much appreciated!

We were very pleased with the star bursts and the detail/ colours held up well to our random camera settings approach.

Portmeirion is certainly a very special place and we always enjoy our time there - you could spend hours people watching (it fills up rapidly each day with excited photographers, curious tourists and, of course, fans of 'The Prisoner'). Great food and drink (and ice cream) too!

Hi Ian,

Three wonderful image of beautiful creatures to showcase your tech (and talents!) - superb detail, colours and eye-pop evident throughout.

A difficult call, but image #1 is (just) our favourite.

Thank you for sharing...
