I'll try just about anything vegetable. The most exotic thing I've eaten was a live bee larva. The worst thing I ever ate (sorry Scotts,) was haggis. I would love to try either Marmite or Vegemite.

Looks like the Pleo from the James Bond movie "Goldfinger."

Looks like a bronzed casting of pleo.

For the first time ever... a picture with a background created completely from scratch

Some more experimentation with sky and grass... (Sorry these two images are only 800x600 didn't realize earlier)

Monarch butterflies are my favorite!

Most butterflies only last a few days to a few weeks after they pupate. For them it's hatch, eat, form a chrysalis, pupate, emerge as a butterfly, have fun, lay eggs and die. The Monarchs in California on the other hand live long enough to migrate to Mexico in the Fall and winter over and then they or their offspring have a return migration in the Spring. When they lay their eggs, they lay them on milkweed plants from which they ingest a poison which is harmless to the Monarchs but nasty to birds. Any bird dumb enough to try to eat one will immediately spit it out because of the bitterness and will know not to try it again.

That has to be once of the greatest migrations on Earth

The little tiny things have been found actively flying at 20,000 feet which is absolutely amazing too.

I've been in an old volcano at 15,000 feet (4,600 m) and the air was thin enough that I'd have to pause for breath every few minutes. Flying at 20,000 feet (6,100m) is incredible in it self. But the greatest aerial migration I know of is the Arctic Tern, at about 20,000 miles (32,000 Km) per year. If that interests you, check out the movie "Winged Migration" if you haven't seen it all ready.

I have seen that, but I was referencing more to the size of the creatures making the migration

It is almost winter here and so I thought I'd do one wallpaper that wasn't quite so sunny

If you have xp I believe you can use it as an animated background but I'm not sure.

Please note: NEVER EVER LEAVE YOUR PLEO IN THE RAIN!!!

That reminds me of an old song, "Don't leave your records in the sun. "What's a record?

"

Records are excellent frisbees

A record? Like the old CD-ish things?

I've been on Mt Hotham in a snow storm attempting to get snow chains on the car

Not fun

We don't have bunny hills, but we have bunny tows

(Its a child friendly ski lift)

Yeah, like the Ooold CD-ish things, except about 12 inches (30.5 cm) across and mostly black. If you go to a good museum or a very well stocked antiques store you might see one, (if you're lucky.

Or you could just check my living room, we have piles of them

(I told dad they are going in the dustbin if he leaves them to me in his will

)

They work well for skeet shooting.

You must be a lousy shot if you need something that big!
