  1. Most unusual, interesting subjects from a shadowy world! The first one begs for some thinking, wondering just what and where it is while the second one is a chance to dream! Great photos!

  3. Okay...so is a doodle bug the same as a roly poly? I'm not seeing the bug in the top photo!

  4. That is an awfully big hole for a bug! :)
    Second shot is really pretty. I am trying to figure out what it is.
    Have a relaxed, but fun Christmas. :)

  5. Kelly- No, a Doodle bug is what we called Ant Lions as kids. Google this critter--it is awesome! I did a post on them a while back. Roly Poly are cool too- but an Ant will walk over the indentation, and the grains of sand are so fine it can't climb out. The falling sand grains alert the Ant Lion and he flips more dirt onto the Ant sending him into the Lions waiting jaws! You can catch them using a Spider web...just like a fishing pole...he grabs the web and sticks to it, and then you can let him go unharmed!

    There is no bug--He's buried under the sand--the caption was misleading!

  6. Joan- That is a large plastic baseball or softball floating in a shallow pond. The grass is underneath and the shadows and reflections just caught my eye.

    The bug is pretty small, but they build a decent sized trap. some are as large as a 1/2 dollar, but most are about quarter sized.

  7. When you get close to small things, you see things that you never saw before--whole, tiny worlds!

    MANY SHADOW-SEEKERS SAY

    Many shadow-seekers say,
    “Oh, the one that got away!”

    Why are you so uptight, folks?
    Can’t you take light’s little jokes?

  8. I have dug for doodle bugs many times. It was fun when by chance one came out. We just used an old broom straw. I still have some in the summer around the yard.

  9. Doodle bug? Hehe! I've never heard of them before but I like the name! Ok, I'm now thinking any little critter I can't identify I'll be calling a doodle bug from now on!

    Have an awesome weekend John!
