A female Spinybacked Orbweaver (Gasteracantha Cancriformis) at rest in a web she spun on my porch. This is the underside of the spider, whose diameter is about 1cm (0.5”).

The view over Salzburg (Austria) from the castle "Hohensalzburg". Love the "steampunk" design of the spyglass.

In the 1940's hit song, A String of Pearls played by Glenn Miller's FABULOUS band, ( composed by Jerry Gray, lyrics by Eddie De Lange) the pearls referred to are a sort of stop gap gift to a lady awaiting a Wedding Ring!
"Every pearl's a star above'
Wrapped in dreams and filled with love,
That old string of pearls a-la Wool Worths!"
My pearls are NOT Woolworths, but they're not real either. They ARE, however filled with love and so, I placed them on a bed of pale, elegant sequins and shot with a shallow DOF to give them a dreamy look! Hope it works for you!! Love the pearls. Love the piece of music!!
