Once again, the macro lens amazes with the level of detail it picks up in this super fine piece of cloth, and depending on which way you look at it, the iridescence of the fabric shows itself.
It is slippery - the pin holds it in place.
I'm feeling quiet this evening so I won't say much (except HMM to everyone!), but here's a song I was just listening to which I love. It's quiet for the most part (like my mood), and I first heard it on the show The Bridge.
Choir of Young Believers - Hollow Talk
Turned the CPL filter here so that it had no effect on the water and foreground, and added warmth and color to the leaves in the trees above the waterfall.
Captured with the CPL and 6 Stop ND filters stacked.

RA and I went out in the fog (yuck) to do some shooting this morning. Spotted this web and tried to shoot it with a short lens but the angle made me shoot into the sky and of course the web wasn't visible. So I backed way way off and shot it with my big gun. Not as clear as I would like and 700 hand held with a light breeze dont make it easy. LOL
Somewhat of a unique view presented itself when both trainsets for ATK 314 (from KC) and late running ATK 301 (from CHI) needed to be spun before returning to the depot for later departures. Generally, Amtrak consists leave the St. Louis downtown station and run east over to the Poplar Street wye to spin shortly after all passengers have detrained. 301 was running nearly 2 hours late and 314 was on time. With nothing else around, the TRRA Merchants Dispatcher was guiding them both and set up this meet above 6th Street. ATK 314's consist is in the foreground and holding for the signal at Gratiot on the UP Lesperance connection while 301's consist shoves by on the TRRA High Line.

A mass hatching of spiderlings drifting in the sunshine on a recent mild February day created this shimmering display among the dried grasses and seedheads.
Okay, so the spider did not quite get the Fibonacci thing.... I have to give her better instructions.
Just use your imagination!
Taken at Bass Pond, Minnesota Wildlife Refuge Center......milkweed pod that has burst open. Monarch caterpillers feed on the leaves in the summer and form the chrysalis on the stems.
When my children were young, we'd bring them inside until the butterflies formed, then took them outside, set them free....this all started as a Science project, but it became a family tradition which we continued for years.
The shooting circumstances were less than ideal; bright sun and lots of wind....I tried several lenses....this is from the Tamron 2.8- 90mm macro lens, was definitely the best of the lot.....who'd have thought?
Enjoy Monday, thanks for stopping by.....

This is one of the top targets for our caterpillar outing- a late instar of a Spun Glass Slug Moth. They are quite uncommon and truly impressive in their intricacy. Pickle Springs Natural Area in Ste Genevieve County, Missouri

It's all that matters sometimes- not the road we need to take, but the one that leads us to see the unseen, like the sugar spun sky. All of the rest, its really small, isn't it? Come with me next time, and we can get lost together.
