My guest Mr Bug

Leaving my computer corner for a well deserved break I almost stepped on a beautiful bug lying on the floor.  I was looking at its motionless tiny body admiring the colours when I suddenly realized that the smart bug was alive but acted as dead.  

“Or maybe”, I thought “it took a sniff from my carpet – the place is a barefoot zone so the smell could kill a much bigger creature.” 

I grabbed my LG U990 and took a few photos - the first ones of the bug resting on the smelly carpet.



Then I moved it to a less offensive place and got a few more pictures.




 
I placed the bug – still comatose - gently on the window sill where it could feel a fresh breeze.  The poor thing timidly took a small breath, and then - breathing faster and faster - opened its wings and hastily flu away.

I bet it was wondering how the big creature can survive in such a terrible place.

Nudgee Beach Mangrove Trees

Most of them have amazing shapes



 

I don't know this fellow - but it was quite aggressive



Nudgee Beach Panoramic Photos

I tried to take panoramic photos automaticaly stitched by LG U990.
I wasn't able to match stitches exactly so you will see a ghost mast on the boat.  I think that taking photos not from a tripod and with quite strong sun shining on my LCD screen these panoramas are quite good for a camera-phone.
