?

I saw and took a photo of a Eastern grey squirrel that is partially black,partially brown/orange.I've seen brown ones, and black ones, but never a mix.Why do you think it's colored like this?

Here's the photo : http://www.flickr.com/photos/66188877@N03/67827003...

My hotmail recently got hacked...

I changed my password of all my other accounts, but I can't reset my password..

I tried, and I obviously can't get the security question right, since they changed the password..

I also tried the "Email me the security link", but I don't understand..What's the weird email they are giving me?What do I do with it?

(PS. Hacker, I know you come from YA!)

I'm going to make a garden,and not sure when I should order or plant my seeds.I live in Windsor,Ontario (right across from Detroit,MI). Here are the plants I'm planning to plant :

Wild bergamot

Butterfly weed or other milkweeds

Black-eyed susan

False Nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica)

I always saw it often to the people I critique, but I hardly show emotion in my photos..I'm guessing it's because my main focus in nature or wildlife photography, but still..

How can I show emotion or feelings in my photos?

Here's my photo stream, if it matters :

(No offense to anyone, just wanted some opinions and wanted to vent a little..)

Mine are :

1.Teens who say "OMG I love photography!" and take boring, cliche, or sappy photos with their cell phones..

2. Beginner photographers who want to buy DSLRs right away..

3.People who post their photos on Tumblr,Facebook, or other sites clearly not meant for photography.

4.People that want photos critiqued, and never try to improve.

How about you?

(No offense to anyone..Just wanted to get some stuff off my shoulders and get a few opinions).

Here are mine :

1.When childish people wish to have very unrealistic jobs, like specializing in big cats, or handling dolphins..etc I think they should grow up, and learn that not all jobs are fun, and that some research and boring work has to be done.

2. When people want wild animals as pets..They are wild animals! They have teeth, claws and what not. They aren't tame, and no matter how good people make them look, they are still wild!!

What about you?

Any ideas?Something that really sounds good and speaks to the viewer..

I have a dance to go to tomorrow night..I have a canker sore, along with acne (including black heads).How can I get rid of them, or at least make them less noticeable?I don't really want to have to buy any products.

What age were you, and how long ago did you start photography, and where are you now (post your photo stream or whatever).

I started photography 5 months ago, and I'm 13..Here are my photos :

How about you?

My dog ate half a jar of peanut butter..It was Kraft peanut butter, and the whole jar was 1 kg, but he had half.We have two dogs, and we are suspecting that my 5 and a half month old puppy ate most of it, but we aren't sure.

Anyway, what will happen and what should we do?

I use the Mac Snow leopard, and downloaded GIMP, as well as GIMPshop, and none of them have worked..I downloaded the right version for my computer as well.

I open it, then it closes immediately and says "The application Gimp quit unexpectedly"..

I've reported it to Apple twice, and nothing happened..I've re downloaded it several times as well.

I've had diarrhea-like stools, but it was orangish in color, and I believe it had mucus..

I've done it 4-5 times, but very little at a time. Last time this happened, it was maybe a week or two ago.

I've had a cough 2 weeks ago, then it eventually disapeared..This week, there has been a lot more mucus in my nose, and I usually swallow it, or suck it back in my nose..I also wake up in the morning with a mucus-like taste in my mouth..

Considering the mucus in my nose, the cough, sinus headaches..etc I'm guessing it's not irritable bowel syndrome, or anything to do with my digestive tract..What can I do to help it??

Also, don't tell me to go the the doctor..If it persists, I will, but last time, it was for a day and went away fast. Plus, I've already went to the doctor, and all they said is that it doesn't seem to be viral..(This was before I had the mucus in stools)

I'm thinking about swabbing 3 cats',3 dogs', and 3 humans' mouths, and putting it in a petri dish with gelatine (not agar), and then determining which mouths are the dirtiest.

Would the gelatine be okay, and how would I be able to determine which mouth is dirtiest? By the amount of bacteria, or by the potentially dangerous ones?

What would you change about this project?Thanks!

Thinking something animal related..I don't really have any animals to work with, other than my two dogs, my cat, and possibly the moth pupae I have (believe it may be a Io or Polyphemus moth , not sure..) which probably won't emerge soon..

I'm in 8th grade, if it matters..I'm not stupid, and I'm not a top contributor for no reason, so don't under-estimate me.

I'm going to do a short-film with my two cousins, and I was wondering what the title should be. Here's what it's about :

My friend comes over, and we basically hang out. Then, our phones and the home phone stop working.

My little brother says he saw something outside, and is afraid, but we say it's probably just the neighbor. We turn the radio on, and it says there's a murder on the loose. We hear a noise,and my friend goes downstairs.

Eventually I go check on him, and see the murder with gun.He ties me and my friend, and drugs us.My little brother is hiding, and falls asleep.

In the morning, the murder (he tortures people for days before murdering) goes outside for a smoke..My little brother wakes up, unties us, and we sneak out..We shoot the murder's leg from a distance by accident, and then we have a chasing scene..We run to the park, and I kill him.

Anyway, what should the title be?If you have any extra ideas to add, perhaps change something in it, feel free to suggest!

I'm entering a contest with the theme "Nature", and I'm submitting my wildlife photos.I just wanted to know, what makes a wildlife photo stand out.Lots of people say that photos need to "tell a story", or be "original", but wildlife photos can't really tell a story, in my opinion.

Also, if you can, may you pick 3 of the best photos (and explain why), from this set :

It's okay if you pick other photos from my photo stream, but I prefer if you chose one of those. You can also "eliminate" photos if you can't pick 3.

Thanks!

I have a Io/Polyphemus moth cocoon (not sure, maybe) and when I touch it, it moves, so I know it's active.It's winter and snowing, so I obviously don't want it to emerge too early.Do I place it in the crisper part of the fridge, or will it emerge too early if I don't??

I've dealt with a pupae before (Black swallowtail chrysalis), but it didn't overwinter.

Also, if you can try identifying it :

http://bugguide.net/node/view/603572 (No one has tried to identify it yet)

Please read the details!

There is a contest, by Burrard-Lucas brothers (Wildlife photographers), for their Facebook/Twitter fans..

The theme is "Nature". I have many photos of nature,and have no Idea what to enter. I have 3 photos to enter, but it's okay if you choose more than that.

I'm sending a package with a few things to a (random) Canadian soldier..I'm thinking about sending stuff only found in Canada, and stuff that would remind them of it..No stupid remarks!Here are some of my ideas :

Ketchup chips

Aero

Maple leaf, dipped in gold (I don't wear it anymore..)

Nothing too expensive or big.

I'm getting a Canon Powershot SX30 IS for X-mas, and I already know how to use manual mode (yet my camera has semi-manual and auto). I like nature and wildlife, so I take most of my photos of it.I'm only 13, so I have tons of time to improve.What should I improve? Here's my photostream :

Thanks!Also, I don't want any "Nice!!You are good", I want actual advice.

PS. I know I ask this question once and a while.I just want to know how I am improving.
