Dragon Lantern - Birth of Dragon is Super Nova
Made by M.Y. Sun
Shot taken at Montreal Botanical Garden. They are having a Chinese Lantern Festival at which hundreds of beautiful Lanterns with traditional Chinese taste are on shown. The whole way from the entrance of the Garden to the Chinese Garden is lit by starry lanterns of different color and shape. The highlight is in the central pond in Chinese Garden. The lake is decorated with huge dragon lanterns. One of them is a red dragon with blue tail. The above pic is the above-mentioned dragon and I zoomed out (you have to zoom out not in otherwise it's not cool! ) while taking the shot. The shutter speed was 1s at ISO100. The outcome is like this. The original lantern link is here: Enjoy

Urgh
Made by Saomik
A very chipper staff member told us how lucky we were to see the scorpions out on the rocks - apparently they prefer to lurk. She also explained that this horrific beast is one of the less-venomous species - the giant claws are the give-away.

A patient fish
Made by sandcastlematt
I came back three days later, and it was still there. We had a staring contest for too long to admit. One guess as to who won. If I lived in Montreal, would do nothing but stare at this fish. I don't think it would mind the company.

Notre Dame Basilica
Made by lynnirene
Apparently this is where Celine Dion was married. People from Quebec really love Celine! This is not the best picture, but it was the best picture we were able to take with no flash. It was really dark in there...

I posted a version of this before, and over_here gave me some great suggestions. I took his advice and this is the result, which I do think is better. Thanks, over_here!

Juvie Cooper's Hawk clutches his new found toy, a small branch which he broke off a tree as he flew by. This might have been a demonstratioin of practicing hunting skills.

papyrus
Made by afternoon_sunlight
There was always a papyrus plant growing in the kitchen when I was growing up. I should try to grow one here, but my cat likes to eat them.
