RE: Appreciate Beauty of Nature with @phortun: round 36

Coincidentally went out today, so I have something to participate.
Actually hunting birds (which I couldn't shoot because I moved too much trying to avoid mosquitoes) between 2 abandoned olive groves here in Patras, I settled for shooting this instead:
Some crustose lichen on a dead tree branch. Was in the shadow & the inbuilt flash is not perfect for macro shots, but still nice.

I am glad you decided to "shoot" from your camera instead of your gun, I am definitely not a fan of hunting ;) Nice close up.
Thanks.
Luckily I only hunt with cameras. (Anyway, had I a gun, clumsy as I am I most probably would shoot myself.)
I am really happy to hear that as for a moment, I thought we have a real hunter in this nature loving community, which would be quite odd I think :)
Nothing to worry there, from my side. Not a vegetarian, but I would have a hard time killing anything bigger than a mosquito, well maybe a cockroach.
Having said that, I think, many hunters actually have a stronger bond with nature than some city-dwelling 'nature lovers'.
Yeah, I know what you mean but still, I don´t understand how someone, who says he loves nature, can voluntarily kills its inhabitants... Makes no sense to me.
That's nature: Live & let live, eat & be eaten.
Anyway, I would differentiate between those who hunt for fun & those who hunt for food or eg. in forest management.
I abhor trophy hunters, but I respect a forest manager who keeps the number of deer in check. & I hugely respect eg. Amazon Indians who make a living by hunting with a blowgun.
Good point, I was talking about those who kill for fun (= trophy hunters).
