Generally quite dark compared to other orb web spiders and can be found close to water where their webs are spun on fencing, buildings and bridges and rarely on vegetation. Close to a river near me where I live a river flows under a road in a tunnel these Orbweb spiders can be found and seen in their webs close to the lights that help to light up the pathway where they have the best of both worlds, warmth from the lights where I have even seen the adults spiders here in February with snow outside and plus their prey such as moths and flies are attracted to the lights also. Its amazing to see their webs so close together and not eating each other, nature can be truly amazing at times.
The other night there was a hard frost and when I went back to the park's garden, the dahlias were toast - they'd turned black and had keeled over. To cheer myself up, I thought I'd brighten this scene by modifying colours and adding an effect in Topaz Studio. HSS!
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! I love hearing from you! Have an amazing day!

"It is not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs."
Quote - Vaclav Havel
The beginning of the other side of the staircase of the Academie voor Muziek, Woord en Dans (Academy for Music, Word and Dance) in Mortsel (Belgium).
I joined Chris Dodds and some other great photographers at the Pond at Elephant Head to shoot some bats this past September. It's quite an experience. Despite technical difficulties that seemed to plague me, I still came away with some pictures I'm proud of. This bat was captured by setting your camera to take a picture every 10 seconds. A beam is set up across a small (read small "very" small") pond which triggers the flash as a bat crosses the beam. You end up with a lot of black images and some wonderful keepers. I'll post an example of the other set up which uses a flower the bats love and triggers for both camera and flash.
I had other photos lined up to post ... then this little guy landed on an unopened zinnia blossom. And let me get REAL close! That's our big pink hibiscus blooming in the background. Pachydiplax longipennis in our North Georgia yard on a rainy day.

Well, and after the creation of the island, people came to it and started building houses and villages with their churches.
The sea was their friend, but at the same time their enemy because on the one hand they provided a source of income through fishing, but on the other hand the sea had its terrible quirks and she could rage like a raging rage and devourded houses, villages in short everything what got in her way and therefore also people.
And in order to avoid the seething desolation of the sea, dikes were always built higher, higher and higher, so that you no longer see the villages from the sea side, except for a small part of the church tower........
These primitive plants have their ancestors dated to the Carboniferous period (about 359 million to 299 million years ago). It is a monumental fern, whose leaves can reach 8 meters in length and has its origin in Oceania, occurring in Asia, Australia and Madagascar.
Because it is large, it should be planted in humid places, such as lakes and streams. Its rhizome – a type of stem – is rich in starch and used to perfume coconut oil.
Originally from the South Pacific, it has been introduced to other locations since the 18th century.
"Now take me to other side
Little bitty blues bird flies
And gray clouds, or white walls, or blue skies
We gon' fly, feel alright!"
The male Vermilion Flycatcher has such a distinctive look. Probably has to do with the thick, black eye-line. Like the female is a busy little bee. So much fun to watch. Wish we could see this beauty further North.

I just tried to see what the negative version of 'Art' (see first comment box, if you missed it yesterday) would look like………
Then I also turned the picture around to make it more look like a place on the other side. Big fun ;-))
You can see the fences much better now, so …...
Happy Fence Friday!
The other plants you passed up because
they were too prickly or
too ugly...
they were the safe ones.
Me, I am intoxicating
my beauty is transfixing.
You cannot resist admiring
or leaning in.
But, the joke is on you, fool.
Because I am going to eat you alive
Devour you like the carnivore I am
and eat your heart out first.
The other plants will watch in terror
In a way, they are weak of heart and spirit
They spend all their energy
trying to get you to trust them.
Yet, you fall prey to me!
Devoured like a sworn enemy
and yet, I have nothing against you
except maybe you should have heeded the words...
Don’t ever trust in the unkindness of beautiful strangers.

While storms and squalls were approaching from the west, this was the view on the other side, all sweetness and light. I'm always drawn to the dramatic, but found it hard to resist this beautiful late afternoon panorama. Not a soul about and clouds flying across, hard to beat really. The other side by Ron Sexsmith is fine.
The other Trouble in Mind band I saw with super fun indie pop songs was En Attendant Ana. I hesitate to post two photos in the same day, mainly because I get the people lead busy lives, but I want to get back to some of my New Mexico photos. It's hard to balance everything considering I am always taking, if anything, too many photos. And, I always thought I was just a concert photographer but then I became really interested in street photography and then nature photography so perhaps I lack focus or else there is just not enough hours in the day.
You should really listen to En Attendant Ana from Paris!!!

I love these ‘tunnels’ in my local woods, in the right conditions they create a lovely mystical scene. It takes a few shots to get the positioning right, but it’s well worth the effort. I think the last of the beech leaves give a splash of seasonal colour.
Call them flyover states, the sticks, rural, back of beyond, whatever you wish, but places like this are the heartbeat of America. In Wisconsin.

What others dreamed
Read, read, read, the soul forgets
the things that happened
Those that remain remain, the fictions,
feather flowers,
the solitary, human creations,
the dregs of the foam.
Read, read, read; will i be reading
tomorrow me too?
Will I be my creator, my creature,
I will be what happened?

This is the other way through the Hobbit road that you can see in the comment below.
I'm sure someone will suggest a crop, and I had some difficulty deciding. Do have a look here -- What do you think?

I was wandering around the Evora garden during lunchtime and I spotted three peacocks resting. As I only have my 35mm lens with me I moved closer towards them. None of them moved. So, I got even closer and got down to their level for this picture.
Evora Public Park was built by the municipality between 1863 and 1867. The grounds where it is located were once part of King Manuel’s royal vegetable garden and S. Francisco Convent.
The garden was conceived by the Italian architect and set designer José Cinatti, who also coordinated its archeological and gardening work. His creation is intimately connected with the Romantic ideal of past gardens and also with the use of this space as a social one, of elite reunion and the classes starting to go up the social ladder.
Evora Public Garden covers an area of about 8.2ac (3.3ha) with a vast concentration of trees, mostly species brought from other places, colourful flowerbeds and small lakes.

The Beachcomber or ‘Stone Me’ and Others
I have over the years come across a few of these stone characters, and not only confined to the East Coast of England where I found the majority. They have been discovered in The States, France and Kent. A bit of a random order I know. Some have come home with me but in the main I have left them in situ. No stones were harmed in the making of these images and the ones who did come home did it willingly.
There has been a development, I have noticed faces looking at me embedded in other materials. I know, a bit left field. But I thought they needed to be identified. I haven’t yet seen any walls with ears but you never know. Is ‘Big Brother’ still watching?
