I have not posted much lately due to heavy workload, but I thought I would send a Christmas greeting to all of you from the land of Santa (Finnish citizens may disagree...). I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!

Found this Daphnia that must be one of Santa's little helpers. In Polarized light.

Thank you, Harkan. Very nice images!
Happy Holidays to you and all forum members!

Best holiday pictures I've seen all year!

Love it!

You're quite bonkers thank goodness!

Yes, yes, hkv, merry Christmas and healthy productive year ahead for all of us...your planktonic meiofauna chap indeed gives service to our needs, our worlds getting through time and seasons!

hear, hear...health for all of us, and our dear globe! Charlie Guevara, finger lakes/US

Same to you and all members. Also greetings to Oliver without whom this wouldn't be possible.

Obviously that Daphnia has no trouble going down the chimney but doesn't look like it can carry too many toys

I'm guessing all the Daphnia in Sweden are dressed up for the holidays? amazing!
