Flotsam and Jetsom

#1 Post by DonSchaeffer » Sun Dec 04, 2022 12:02 am

This is the kind of life that largely inhabits our mudpuddles: half-alive creatures--a different definition of life. When I watch them, they elicit my sympathy because of the way the way they seem to struggle.

Don,
They portrayed my struggles lately.

I watched ones spin real fast around so you see a circle
It was trying to shake something caught to its leg.

Maybe we should take a lesson from them and spin

I don't know maybe I am getting too deep there.

Good Ending !
I was about to say not many rotifers and then bam BIG ONE'S face right up close !

Sometimes they seem bigger because I use a stronger objective lens. I switch around a lot. The interesting thing about those spinning protists is that they seem to turn some kind of stability control off and just let themselves rotate.

Good job Don.
You are persistent and hardworking and I have already got used to the inhabitants of your aquatic farm.
Of course, I mean stubborn and indestructible Rotiffers.
I was watching your movie calmly, but the ending was surprising.
I jumped away from the monitor when suddenly this giant appeared.
