Description

Carried on the solar winds, the spores of an alien race covered the earth, well at least under the mountain in New Plymouth, New Zealand. Easily recognizable by there slit yellow eyes, hairy helmet and face and by their beak like mouth. Yup... a good dose of fly spray knocks the little buggers for a six! Another oldie photo from way back when... Thanks for the look, and stock up on fly spray you guys. Deane Oh, and Jeff... yeah, I don't have 25 GigaPixel resolution on my old box brownie camera. Camera Data: Olymnpus E-10 Digital F-Stop 4.0 Focal length 36mm ISO 80

Are they really called Triffids? (I'd believe any tall tale from NZ;-)I love how it looks both prickly and fuzzy at the same time, and what a great color! (pokes at it) Does it open more?

Beautiful macro. Great detail. Your story reminds me of "attack of the pod people" or something like that. Nice shot. Aloha

fuzzy wuzzy was a ... Flower??? A bare Flower ...she's got some nice knobs Deane - little fuzzy for my taste, but still nice - lol... So does this Alien talk to you? Does it tell you it can't make it to the fridge and it's thirsty??? Did you get it a beer when it asked? Did it ask for a beer???

A great capture of this alien though I reckon they would be all right spreading a bit. We can always cut them off from the south if they prove to be unfriendly.
