Thursday thoughts... the accidental portraitist

 
Have you ever taken a picture of one thing, and once you looked at the shot (via computer, or whatever) you saw something else in the picture, namely a living creature, that you had NO idea was there?

This has happened to me. More than once. Usually with insects or other inverts, and it leaves me terribly impressed by their ability to be calm, cool, and camouflaged, despite the nearness of me.

Sneaky little orthopteran!

Back end of grasshopper-esque creature. Considering the preponderance of grasshoppers v. katydids in my garden, I'm guessing it's the former.

So, I was thinking it'd be fun to do a post of just those accidental portraits.

THEN I thought it'd be WAY more fun if other folks had them too, and contributed them (sent a photo a link to it/them to biobabbler at g mail), so I could post a bunch.

Anyhow, what do you think? This would be our first official interactive, group blog. I'll credit you in whatever (suitable-for-an-innocent-public) way you wish.

I would, however, take the liberty of selecting from among the contributions, if needed, for a balanced post.

So:
a) Has this happened to you, and
b) are you willing to/interested in sharing?
