This scorpion was the fifth they saw running around their tent in one 24 hour period. <<That is a lot!

Wow! Some nice shots there. They really bring out the sense of exploration and adventure in me, but I'm sure a place like the EQ requires loads of patience and strong will power, not to mention a truckload of sanity just in case :p

Thanks for sharing ToomuchaT :)

You get your 12 gauge shotgun Rossonero, I'll get my mini-bazooka lens and its brothers.

I'm a lover not a fighter :angel:
