Recent Watcher Feature + Contest Reminder! 
Macro Photography Contest!
Before you ask: No, I will not give you a step-by-step guide on how to take my ideas.
A Bit of News...
I've finally taken my little "rescued lab snails" out of hibernation, and will let them model again, so be prepared for more snail pictures! (They don't mind it-- all they have to do is crawl/slither towards the piece of lettuce I set out for them) This "awakening" was an interesting one too, as I had to individually help about 10/30 snails get out of their shells because they were having trouble getting eating through their shell-seals. They practically had to hatch!But sadly, during this last bit of hibernation, I lost two of my little darlings, and am quite broken up about it.
Snails usually can hibernate for 3-4 months with no problem, and this period was only for 1-2 months, but it seems two of them somehow just didn't make it... Rest in peace, little buddies.A tribute to my little models:
Css made/coded by me with my picture [link] (top left corner), and modeled after a beautiful CSS by `Lilyas. If you would like to request/commission a journal skin, I would definitely consider it. 
Thank you so much for the watches and faves everyone, I really appreciate the support! I wish I could thank you all individually, but I really haven't had the time.Now, on to macro-related things!
Macro Contest Info Still looking for people to feature the winners! (Info below) Well, it's time for photography contest #2, and the theme is macro photography! Anyone can enter!For those of you who don't know what this is or need a refresher...
"Normally the term macro photography refers to images in which the subject is presented at a ratio greater than 1 to 1, so bigger than lifesize. It could be compared to looking at a subject through a magnifying glass."
Some of My Examples of What I Would Accept:
Hint: The key is being close to your subject, and detail.
