Stunning! I love this one. Reminds me of the beautiful film Microcosmos (Trailer).

As nice as those images are, from what I can tell from their "about us" page, that site is a thinly veiled keyword-spam adfarm.

I agree, mhoye. At least they are giving image credits. That's a step up from the normal spammy adfarm list post.

These all need to be turned into glass paperweights.

TheWhiteSkull: I have a hat!You misspelled "haz". Also, that is not a cat, AFAICT. Can a cat owner double-check me on that?

Well, yes of course. Many spiders speak perfectly good English- at least those from Anglophone countries, or the ones who have taken it in school.

This poem comes to mind...
The difference between you and her
(whom I to you did once prefer)
Is clear enough to settle:
She like a diamond shone, but you
Shine like an early drop of dew
Poised on a red rose petal.
The dew-drop carries in its eye
Mountain and forest, sea and sky,
With every change of weather;
Contrariwise, a diamond splits
The prospect into idle bits
That none can piece together.

I almost passed by this thread. Those are gorgeous. Just amazing.
But thanks to mhoye now I understand why the images were accompanied by robot-speak copy and an ad for Culligan water softener.
