Last Second | Gorgeous Animals In ecology, predation describes a biological interaction where a predator (an organism that is hunting) feeds on its prey (the organism that is attacked). Every animal knows better hunting for food by nature. Animals are not greedy, they hunt as their desires for fresh food. Some pet animals are also expert hunter and great helpers for human. Created Equal... Photographer Mark Laita | InspireFirst - StumbleUpon In America, the chasm between rich and poor is growing, the clash between conservatives and liberals is strengthening, and even good and evil seem more polarized than ever before. At the heart of this collection of portraits is my desire to remind us that we were all equal, until our environment, circumstances or fate molded and weathered us into whom we have become. Los Angeles- and New York-based photographer Mark Laita completed Created Equal over the course of eight years; his poignant words reflect the striking polarizations found in his photographs.

Harvest mouse climbs up a dandelion By Nick Enoch PUBLISHED: 10:26 GMT, 28 May 2012 | UPDATED: 16:34 GMT, 28 May 2012 As this tiny harvest mouse seemed to blow away a dandelion, who knows what it was wishing for. These heartwarming pictures of one of Britain’s most elusive rodents were taken by amateur photographer Matt Binstead last weekend. He said: 'It was lovely to get these shots of the mouse in its element. The harvest mouse - one of Britain's most elusive rodents - was snapped at the British Wildlife Centre in Lingfield, Surrey, by head keeper Matt Binstead. 'I can't remember whether it was the breeze or the mouse blowing the dandelion,' said Mr Binstead 'I can’t remember whether it was the breeze or the mouse blowing the dandelion. 'It is the only British animal with what is known as a prehensile tail that can be used as a fifth limb. 'When wrapped around a stem, it can act as a brake or anchor. 'This makes it very nimble, travelling and feeding in stems of cereals and grasses.'

About the author Refrigerator Contents Around The World | Photos What does your refrigerator content say about you and your culture? Is there any type of food that is dominating or do you fill your refrigerator up with random groceries? These questions were something that caught photographer Stephanie de Rouge’s mind when she started her project called “In Your Fridge”. She basically traveled mainly around New York and Paris to photograph people’s refrigerator content. Most people welcomed her in and had no problems with her exploring their refrigerators, but some denied her, which made her wonder if they felt that their food were a part of their privacy. If you think about it that has to be it, because after all we do shop after our personal taste. She plans to keep on going with her project and visit more cities around the world, so don’t be surprised if she knocks on your door to photograph your groceries.

explorations with space : cole rise no.1 no.2 no.3 no.4 no.5 no.6 no.7 Gorgeous Time-Lapse Video of Cicadas Hatching Their time has come. Photo by Samuel Orr , from the video I remember a time, many years ago, when I was a lad and at home with my sister. It was a warm early summer day, and I heard something odd outside. I opened my window, and my ears were met with a loud, persistent droning sound. I ran to my sister’s room and said, “Listen!” She didn’t believe me at first, and I didn’t blame her. That was 34 years ago now, two cycles past. WARNING: If you find insects icky, some of this may—haha! Orr has a Kickstarter project to fund a full-length documentary on these critters. Shortly after my sister and I awoke to the cicadas that long-ago day, my best friend Marc and I went out for a bike ride to the local lake. I don’t live on the East Coast anymore, so I’m missing this year’s awakening.

A Father Who Creatively Captures His Kids (20 photos) If there was a prize that could be given out to the most creative father, I'd hope that it was awarded to Jason Lee. A wedding photographer by day, he's used to capturing some of the most important moments in a couple's lives. As a longtime fan of Jason's photos on Flickr however, I think the real magic happens when he turns the camera onto his daughters. Sure, his children are adorably cute in their own right, but that's not what makes his photos so interesting. I was able to get in touch with Jason to ask him a few questions. Q: How did you get into photography? Q: How do you come up with such creative photos of your daughters? Q: How has being on Flickr helped you with your business? Q: Any inspirational stories you'd like to share? Q: Do you have any advice for aspiring photographers? Q: Any quotes you live by? Thanks for the interview, Jason, and for letting us share in your fatherhood experience. Jason Lee's website
