at first i thought it would just be yet another dancing video, but i was thrilled after 55 seconds.

some of the hedges around our pond looked a little too perfectly cut, so i decided to give them a makeover – added a little twig here, extended a patch there, …
i think it looks much more natural now! ;-)

the following video provides a close-up view of the the development of 5 frog embryos.

i’m in the process of making another frog spawn time-lapse video.
it looks quite promising so far: i’m getting high-resolution (both pixel- and time-wise) macro footage of 5 eggs.
this photo shows their current state:
day 6 is coming to an end, and they should soon hatch from their gelatinous eggs. [more...]

rainfall is very rare in the desert – that’s why many species of desert plant have developed special mechanisms that help them to increase the offspring’s chances of survival.
cheiridopsis sp. (family aizoaceae) is one of these species: it has dry woody fruits that protect the seeds during dry periods.
when it starts to rain – sometimes it takes years from one rainfall to another – time is of the essence: as soon as a drop of rain lands on the capsules, they absorb the water and hydrostatic pressure opens them.
within minutes, seeds are released onto humid ground and find a good base to germinate.
while in south africa last september, i tried it myself: a drop of water sufficed, and the seed capsule was completely open just 10 minutes later.
i’ve also created an animated time-lapse gif that shows the process: [more...]
